A bot used for various wiki maintenance tasks, alongside ValExtLinks. ValBot runs on the Pywikibot framework and is currently managed by Iritscen.

Capabilities

ValBot can perform these tasks currently. You can ask Iritscen for the scripts he uses to drive these processes.

  • Upgrading external http:// links to https:// links.
  • Adding ending slashes to external links when the server requests this.
  • Renaming categories.
  • Finding externally-hosted images.
  • Testing interwiki links.

Future abilities

  • Testing section links found in interwiki and intrawiki links. Intrawiki links will only appear red if the page itself does not exist; MediaWiki does not look at the section anchor to see if it exists.
