RetractionBot on other wikis

Hello, I was speaking with SamWalton9 who informed me that you're now running RetractionBot. I was wondering if you would be willing to run this bot on other wikis, particularly frwiki. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. I see on the repository on GitHub that most of the work has already been done, though a few changes should still be made (edit comments in other languages, etc.). I could help with the process of creating the template, the categories, the translations and also getting the consensus to get the bot tag (is it even required? The volume of edits should be relatively low).

Thanks in advance, 🐢 Monsieur Tortue (💬) 21:21, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr Tortue: - morning, yep I'm happy to get multi-lingual support added. If you can either pop a PR into the bot_settings.yml file in the Gitlab folder, or drop me an email with the localised changes that need to be made, I'll get that sorted.

I'm not sure how the frwiki bot process works, so I'll have to read up on that. I'd prefer to have the bot approved just because it avoids issues down the line as this doesn't run in an attended fashion. Mdann52 (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I've just created the PR here. For the bot tag, you can read fr:Wikipédia:Bot which is the page about bots on frwiki and fr:Wikipédia:Bot/Statut which is where you need to ask the tag. The rules are pretty standard, the bot has to be useful, safe, sufficiently slow so that errors can be quickly spotted and corrected by others and does not overload histories with purely cosmetic modifications. A few edits are required before asking for the tag though.

In any case, dont hesitate to tell me if you need anything.

Have a nice evening, 🐢 Monsieur Tortue (💬) 20:06, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
