Operator: Hercule

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, manually lauched, changes supervised

Programming Language(s): Java

Function Summary: Update interwikis of a specific page, after it's renaming (generally from fr or wuu)

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Manually launched when I rename a page or a category

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): fr, wuu, cs, ml, lv & tt

Function Details: This is a home made program. I developped it first for the renaming of categories in fr. The program looks the interwikis of the specified page, and goes to these pages. On the target page, it looks for the original interwiki and update it if necessary (it doesn't add missing interwikis, and doesn't look for others interwikis than the specified page). If the interwiki is using a anchor (ie #), the page is skipped. On the console I can see the changes done (as the comment is), and which interwikis are skipped (forbidden wikis or interwikis with anchor).

Trial complete. I already started edits because I edit slowly. Do I need to stop? (I have done 153 edits) --Hercule (talk) 13:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
