Module:Synchbot
This module is used to format Synchbot requests. The following functions are defined.
Request
editArguments
editRenders a Synchbot request log which summarises the actions performed in response to this request. The following arguments are defined:
all requests | |
---|---|
parameter | usage |
user | The name of the user whose user pages to edit. This will be used by the bot to skip wikis where the user isn't registered. |
action | The action to perform on each page; one of delete, replace/prepend/append (for edit), or set (for preferences). |
skip wikis | An arbitrary list of wikis to skip. |
status | The status of the request; one of queued (default), done, not done, or on hold. |
'edit' requests | |
title | The title of the page to edit on each wiki (including namespace). |
text | The text to write to the page. |
skip existing | Whether to skip wikis where the page already exists ('yes' or blank). |
'set' preferences requests | |
set:* | The preferences to set as key:value pairs, like set:language = en .
|
Example (edit pages)
edit{{#invoke:synchbot|request |user = Pathoschild |action = replace |title = User:Pathoschild/common.js |text = mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pathoschild/global.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); |skip wikis = |skip existing = |status = done }}
request done:
Pathoschild (global account · recent activity · user pages)
- go to
User:Pathoschild/common.js
on every wiki - and replace the text with mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pathoschild/global.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
Example (set preferences)
edit{{#invoke:synchbot|request |user = Pathoschild |action = set |set:language = en |set:skin = vector |skip wikis = |status = done }}
request done:
Pathoschild (global account · recent activity · user pages)
- go to every wiki
- and set these preferences:
- Set
language
to en - Set
skin
to vector
- Set
Log
editArguments
editRenders a Synchbot request log which summarises the actions performed in response to this request. The following arguments are defined:
parameter | usage |
---|---|
log | The logged actions to output, as a multiline sequence of comma-separated values. Each line should consist of three fields: the time (like "00:53"), page link (like "[[s:User:Pathoschild|en.wikisource.org]]"), and log message (like "created (+116)"). Each message will be formatted by matching the log message for common patterns. |
indent | (optional) The number of times to indent the output, corresponding to the indentation level of a threaded wiki discussion. |
counts:* | (optional) Adds to the page counts used to build the summary bar graph. This is used to show an accurate summary even though some pages aren't listed (like page-doesn't-exist entries for a deletion request). Valid count keys: created, updated, deleted, missing (for missing user), skipped. |
Example (no arguments)
edit{{#invoke:synchbot|log| 00:53,[[w:User:Pathoschild|en.wikipedia.org]],created (+116). 00:53,[[s:User:Pathoschild|en.wikisource.org]],deleted. 00:55,[[wikt:User:Pathoschild|en.wiktionary.org]],updated (+116). }}
The following log shows what the bot did on each wiki. You can click the columns to sort the log.
summary: |
time | wiki | logged action |
---|---|---|
00:53 | en.wikipedia.org | created (+116). |
00:53 | en.wikisource.org | deleted. |
00:55 | en.wiktionary.org | updated (+116). |
Example (with arguments)
edit{{#invoke:synchbot|log |indent = 3 |log = 00:53,[[w:User:Pathoschild|en.wikipedia.org]],created (+116). 00:53,[[s:User:Pathoschild|en.wikisource.org]],deleted. 00:55,[[wikt:User:Pathoschild|en.wiktionary.org]],updated (+116). }}
The following log shows what the bot did on each wiki. You can click the columns to sort the log.
summary: |
time | wiki | logged action |
---|---|---|
00:53 | en.wikipedia.org | created (+116). |
00:53 | en.wikisource.org | deleted. |
00:55 | en.wiktionary.org | updated (+116). |
