Operator: Sam Korn ^(smoddy)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic (unsupervised)

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Summary: Update statistics on current international cricketers' infoboxes

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Weekly

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: Get a list of players from User:Sambot/players. For each player, get statistics from CricketArchive (I have received permission from CricketArchive for this) and fill in the details. Cricketers who have not played an international match in the last 365 days are removed from the list of players. A log entry is written to User:Sambot/log.

So then it would update the test statistics part of the infobox on their pages? Would it do anything else to the page? MBisanz ^talk 21:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It updates the following parts of the infobox:

• Last Test
• Last ODI
• Career statistics (all columns, including First-class, List A, etc., depending which columns are already there)
• Source URL (if different) and date of update

It will not affect any other part of the page.

Ok, everything looks in order, user seems to know what he is doing. Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. MBisanz ^talk 21:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I ran a 50-edit trial this morning -- there were two (minor) bugs that have now been fixed. Can I request full approval and flag now, or do I need to wait for the end of the 7 days? Sam Korn ^(smoddy) 09:30, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
