Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Kumar Appaiah Bot
Operator: Kumar Appaiah
Automatic or Manually assisted: Manually assisted
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kumar_Appaiah_Bot/bot.py
Function overview: Substitute the latitude/longitude parameters on the page with supplied command line arguments
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: Several runs, each run affecting 10-20 pages. But each run affects only one page as of now.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): (I don't know)
Already has a bot flag (Y/N):
Function details: The bot is run as <bot> -page:Article -latitude:<decimal_latitude> -longitude:<decimal_longitude>. This pulls the page specified, and replaces the latitude and longitude fields (which I expect to be blank in the pages I expect to edit), and puts Wikipedia latitude and longitude text in it's place. For instance:
python coord_bot.py -page:Achampatti -latitude:10.6690900 -longitude:78.9530500
would replace the blank latd, lats etc. with:
latd = 10 | latm = 40 | lats = 9 | longd = 78 | longm = 57 | longs = 11 |
(keeping the fields sane).
Please let me know if more information is needed. Thanks. - Kumar Appaiah (talk) 22:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
