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. Scripts and instructions for running these tasks can be found HERE.
- 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, including section links.
Future abilities
- Testing section links found in 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.
