This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots.

Please add your bot requests to the bottom of this page.

If you are a bot operator and you complete a request, note what you did, and archive it. Requests that are no longer relevant should also be archived in a timely fashion.

RequestsEdit

1stp Edit

There seems to be some instances of {{C|First pictured}} that should be turned into {{1stp}}. 1358 (Talk) 19:14, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Is this possible? Edit

I apologize if this is not the proper place to post this, but I was hoping someone who knew how bots work could weigh in at Forum:SH:Species and Sentient templates about whether the things we're talking about are doable via bot. Thanks, and again, apologies if this is not the right place to post this! ~SavageBOB sig 05:08, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

  • Making this a formal request, can someone with a bot please modify all uses of {{Sentient}} to {{Species}}? Then, can the bot update all uses of the {{Species}} template so that they all contain all of that template's fields? --Eyrezer 06:42, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
    • {{Sentient}} will be replaced shortly but standardizing the fields is beyond me. It can possibly be done with some regular expressions but I don't know how. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 07:15, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Felucians Edit

Star Wars: The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 67's planet index identifies diminutive Felucians, and larger Jungle Felucians (with a capital J). This request is to alter all instances of pipelinks to Felucian to Jungle Felucian. Then, have the page Felucian itself deleted and move Felucian (farmer) to Felucian. Then have a bot change all links to Felucian (farmer) to Felucian. SinisterSamurai 18:04, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it appears that both pages were moved and the Felucian (farmer) links changed without first changing the existing Felucian links to Jungle Felucian. The result is that almost all of the links now point to Felucian, and I doubt a bot can sort them out. This may have to be done by hand.

Two things Edit

Many infobox codes for articles are out of date. See this forum I started for more details. It would be great if every infobox that isn't up to date receive a mass code change, hopefully also autodetecting when it's appropriate to implement hideb, hidec, etc. Also, alot of pipelinks on articles here are not really formatted correctly, and I myself have been a past offender of this. For example, the correct pipelink for Anakin Skywalker would be Darth Vader's, and not Darth Vader's. Another example would be TIE fighters instead of TIE fighters. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 19:54, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Dark Apprentice Edit

Since our slot for Dark Apprentice had to be taken up by a character, the book had to be moved to Dark Apprentice (novel) and appearance sections need updating. Then we'll need to change instances of "Dark Apprentice (clone)" to Dark Apprentice. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 00:48, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

I'm working on this. Master Jonathan Holocomm Saturday, December 24, 2011, 01:32 UTC
Done. Master Jon Council Chambers Saturday, December 24, 2011, 03:37 UTC
Tankee. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 04:12, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

2011 TC archive Edit

Need a bot to change the categories for everything in Category:Trash compactor archive to Category:Trash compactor archive 2011. Thanks in advance. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:51, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

  • Done. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 14:26, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
    • Now it's done. Wikia can kiss my ass. Master Jon War Room Sunday, January 1, 2012, 16:53 UTC
      • Not Wikia's fault, I knew the category wasn't made yet. I was just going to let Tope do it since I fulfilled the specific bot request. :P -- Darth Culator (Talk) 03:16, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon Edit

As a result of the page move, can a bot fix all Skirmish at Carkoon links in articles to Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon? Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 21:41, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Working on it. —MJ— Council Chambers Monday, January 9, 2012, 04:08 UTC
Done. Of the four links left, two are on protected pages that I can't edit, and the other two are in {{User GA}} templates that I'm going to leave alone. Master Jonathan Jedi Council Chambers Monday, January 9, 2012, 04:39 UTC

Tales of the Golden redirectEdit

Can a bot change all linked instances of C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid to the correct yet ironically incorrect C-3P0: Tales of the Golden Droid? Menkooroo 16:49, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

  • Are we sure that "C-3P0" is correct? Amazon and Barnes & Noble both list it as "C-3PO". Master Jon Training Room Sunday, January 29, 2012, 20:27 UTC
    • Hmmm... good question. Looking at the book, it does look like a zero on the cover and inside cover, but the O in GOLDEN looks identically thin. It might actually just be that the font makes the O look like a zero. I'll ask Tope to weigh in, as he originally moved the page. Maybe there was something else that I'm missing. Menkooroo 06:53, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
      • Ok, just looked through the book again. On the front cover, the O in "C-3PO" and all other words containing the letter "O" in the title use an identical character, which does appear to be closer to the number zero than the letter O. The same is true for the title on the inside cover. The real kicker seems to be the title of the book as it is printed in the footer of every other page, where it clearly says "C-3P0: Tales of the Golden Droid" (a zero being used in C-3PO's name, and the letter O being used in all other words). In the absence of anything more official than an Amazon page title, I think I would recommend keeping it at this current title for now. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:05, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
        • I would think the publisher's web page is more official than an amazon.com page. If there's lingering doubt about the discrepancy between the publisher's inconsistent typesetting and its unambiguous web page listing, perhaps a question could be put to one of the authors, whose word would presumably trump a publication error. Asithol 02:16, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
          • If someone was able to secure commentary from an author about this, I think that would be fair grounds to take another look at perhaps moving it back to "C-3PO." Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:21, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
            • Someone else has moved the page back, which I believe is the right call. Front cover, inside cover, and publisher's webpage all agree on an "O." In which case... Menkooroo 03:51, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
  • Can we get a bot to correct all instances of C-3P0: Tales of the Golden Droid? Menkooroo 03:53, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

CapitalizationEdit

[[Category:Core Species]] -> [[Category:Core species]] and then move the relevant category. 1358 (Talk) 17:14, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

This appears to have been taken care of manually, though it has been moved to the more correct Category:Core Worlds species. —MJ— Training Room Wednesday, June 13, 2012, 00:04 UTC

Skirmish/Duel in the Senate Edit

Could one of the bots change links to the "Duel in the Senate (Great Jedi Purge)" to Skirmish in the Senate? "Duel in the Senate (Great Sith War)" needs updating to just Duel in the Senate as well. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 04:33, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I believe this is done. Remaining links should just be either archives that I purposely chose to skip or links via transclusion that will update automatically eventually. —MJ— Training Room Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 20:20 UTC
Thanks, MJ! NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 20:23, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Starlog Edit

In preparation for creating an in-universe "Starlog" article for the recordings made by Captain Kazan, I've moved our article on Starlog to Starlog Communications International, Inc.. Could a bot change all current links to [[Starlog]] to a pipelinked [[Starlog Communications International, Inc.|Starlog]]? Unsigned comment by Menkooroo (talk • contribs).

I was bored and there were only about 20 links, so I took care of it manually. —MJ— War Room Monday, July 16, 2012, 18:06 UTC
Ah man; now I look lazy. I mean... thank you. Menkooroo (talk) 21:05, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Wookieepedia:Wookieepedians Edit

Since we got rid ofthe page, it tops Wanted Pages with over 30,000 links. I know it would cut into talk pages that aren't active anymore, but is there any way we could change the phrase "being a [[Wookieepedia:Wookieepedian|Wookieepedian]]!" to ""being a [[Wookieepedia|Wookieepedian]]!", the way it is on the current template, across the Wook? It probably won't do much considering those ROTJ magazines dominate the top of the Wanted Pages list, but it would be crossing one off, at least. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 20:07, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

TIE/ln starfighter to TIE/Ln starfighter Edit

Recently, TIE/ln starfighter was moved to TIE/Ln starfighter. Assuming that this is a legitimate move, I request a bot to change all links from TIE/ln starfighter to TIE/Ln starfighter to eliminate redirects in around 2,000 articles linking to the page, including many FA/GAs. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 19:22, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Revelation Edit

Because "Force" Force powers are cliché, they named one Revelation. …You see where this is going. All links to "Revelation" need to be redirected to Revelation (novel). I'm fixing the links to the Force power now, so by the time you read this that'll be taken care of. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 03:36, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

  • Nevermind about the fixing the links. That's for after and I'm a dummy. x3 NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 03:42, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate requestEdit

Recently the Revelation force power was moved to Revelation, and the novel was moved to Revelation (novel). I'd like to request a bot to change all links from "Revelation" to Revelation (novel). DarthRevan1173 RevanTOR001 (Long live Lord Revan) 16:08, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Tusken Raiders Edit

I'd like to request everything in Category:Sand People be moved to "Category:Tusken Raiders," since "Tusken Raiders" is the more formal name for the species. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:44, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

TIE/LN Edit

Is it possible to fix all TIE/In starfighter links to TIE/LN starfighter? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 06:04, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

  • Nevermind that, I saw such a thread already exists. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 06:05, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Image category: From "Images of Ackbar" to "Images of Gial Ackbar." Edit

While this seems like the kind of grunt work I excel at, I'm putting in a request to have everything in Category:Images of Ackbar be moved to a proper category: Category:Images of Gial Ackbar. There are already a couple images in that category, which also needs created. I'd do it, but I'm going to bed shortly. Trak Nar Ramble on 10:32, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Done. Cheers, grunny@wookieepedia:~$ 11:30, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Another book title move Edit

Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force has been made into an article on the IU book. Therefore, all links to it need to be swapped to Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (real-life book). The only link to the new article that's in an IU section is in Darth Nihilus, so a blanket switch-over can be done with one manual edit to that article afterward. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 07:51, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
