ボットメンテナンスチーム の重要なツールで、日々の業務から複雑な一度限りの更新まで、繰り返しのタスクを簡単に実行することができます。ボットによる編集は wiki への全ての貢献の8%以上を占めています。このような編集は手動で行うにはとても退屈でしょう。

現在以下のボットが使用されています。

ソフトウェア

Bots use the MediaWiki API to communicate with the wiki server. There are many bots developed by the Wikimedia Foundation using this API, but they are usually not general enough to work on other wikis or even conflict with our style guidelines. Therefore we have been working on our own ArchWiki-specific bot tools, which have the same flaws when evaluated by external parties.

Wiki Monkey

The Wiki Monkey project's aim is to facilitate efficient editing by directly enhancing wiki pages in the web browser. It runs as a user script, allowing to execute repetitive tasks semi-automatically in article editor pages, or fully automatically from article-list pages such as Categories or WhatLinksHere. Wiki Monkey also adds some helpers such as filters for 特別:最近の更新 and 特別:新しいページ. See the documentation for details.

wiki-scripts

The wiki-scripts project contains many Python scripts built around a small library-like abstraction for the MediaWiki API. The purpose of the included scripts ranges from collecting information without editing the wiki to performing complex automated edits, which are described in #タスク. Edits made by wiki-scripts, either automatically or interactively, are marked with the wiki-scripts tag, which can be filtered in the list of recent changes.

タスク

This section describes the tasks that are repeatedly performed by ArchWiki bots. It serves as an overview and documentation of the features of operated bot scripts. Note that bot edits are by default hidden from 特別:最近の更新, since their inclusion would make it far more difficult to follow and participate with regular contributions.

二重リダイレクト

Fixing double redirects is the oldest automated task. It can be done for example with a Python script or Wiki Monkey's dedicated plugin.

目次

The 目次 page and its "translations" are maintained by using the toc.py script. The script can be run daily, its execution takes couple of seconds.

The script assumes the following entry point to be present on the page:

{| id="wiki-scripts-toc-table"
...
|}

The content of this table is replaced with an updated version generated by the script, the rest of the page is left intact. The script recognizes the following optional attributes for configuration:

  • data-toc-languages specifies the languages to be shown on the page. It is a comma-separated list of language tags, at most 2 can be specified. Defaults to the language of the current page, i.e. ru for en:Table of contents (Русский).
  • data-toc-alsoin specifies the translation of the "also in" phrase. The format is tag1:text, tag2:text, ....

For example (from en:Table of contents (Русский)):

{| id="wiki-scripts-toc-table" data-toc-languages="ru,en" data-toc-alsoin="ru:Также в"
...
|}

Users can also translate the category names in the table by editing the links on the wiki page and the script will preserve them on updates.

統計

The ArchWiki:統計 page is maintained by the statistics.py script. Currently only the User statistics section is autogenerated, the rest is updated manually. The update takes about 15 seconds and should be run daily.

The script works by obtaining metadata of all revisions and user accounts from the API and caching it locally for better performance. The edit counts are determined by manually counting user contributions without relying on MediaWiki counters.

ノート: Some improvements are discussed in en:ArchWiki talk:Statistics#Improvements.

パッケージテンプレート

The update-package-templates.py script parses the content of all pages and updates the Pkg, Grp and AUR templates. The package name is actually not changed by the script, but e.g. for packages that have been recently moved from AUR to the official repositories, the link is updated from テンプレート:AUR to テンプレート:Pkg. Invalid package links are marked with テンプレート:Broken package link along with a sometimes useful hint showing the package status.

The script uses localized versions of テンプレート:Broken package link and テンプレート:aur-mirror when they exist and falls back to the English versions. Other than that there is no server-side configuration.

After each run, but at most once per 7 days, the script creates a detailed report of broken links at en:User:Lahwaacz.bot/Reports/archpkgs.

言語間リンク

The interlanguage.py script does the following:

  • Checks if the language of categories assigned to each page matches the language of the page itself.
  • Creates missing localized categories, mirroring the English category tree.
  • Updates the interlanguage links on all content pages using this algorithm.

The execution time depends on the amount of updates, it is usually less than a minute and about 30 seconds when there are no updates.
