Thanks, Fayenatic. It seems that these articles provide useful information on the local (Bulgarian) ranking, which isn't supported yet by OKBot. I will add this feature soon and the articles you suggested. Thank you!--OsamaK (talk) 08:10, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
That search currently pulls up 1550 results. Maybe a bot could use those search results to automatically add more entries to User:OsamaK/AlexaBot.js
I added search terms that remove user pages and talk pages. You can remove more stuff from the search results by adding more search terms. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, Timeshifter. I added the page you suggested. As for automatically finding infoboxes, there are two issues 1) it's difficult to extract URLs, and 2) it could violate WP:CITEVAR.--OsamaK (talk) 22:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
I merging here now all unfulfilled requests (former divided into many sections) with this requests. All pages were rechecked by me and falsepositives were removed (one listed under that request, the second was requested at the wrong page, a third (the /. thing) is a "feature request"):
(Sorry for all that I restructured their comments and removing signatures, but otherwise nobody will show any interest here). mabdul11:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
*Yellowikis yellowikis.wikia.com – not possible, only main domain
Please remove Slashdot from this list. The bot is updating the infobox only and not the actual text of the article, thereby inserting an unnecessary citation in the infobox while leaving the old alexa numbers and citation in the article itself, which is conflicting information. WTF? (talk) 20:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Once again, please remove Slashdot from this list. If you cannot edit the script to update this correctly, it's best not to update the article at all. Thank you. WTF? (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
MY REQUEST IS TO PLEASE REMOVE SLASHDOT FROM YOUR MAINTENANCE LIST. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND. IF YOU CAN'T PROGRAM THE SCRIPT TO DO IT CORRECTLY, THEN DON'T DO IT AT ALL. WTF? (talk) 14:39, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Except it is supposed to be in there. Just because it doesn't happen to update a completely separate part of the article doesn't mean it needs to be taken off this list. — foxj16:14, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I find it odd and rather wrong that users can request that pages be added to the bot's list, but if someone requests a page be removed, they have to go through hell and high water to do so. What's the big deal with removing the article from the bot's list of articles? WTF? (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I did some extensive cleanup on the article GoFundMe and was wondering if it could be added to the list of articles that are updated monthly with Alexa ratings. Please let me know if there is anything that I need to do in order to get included (also if there is something I need to do to update the code in the infobox). Thanks in advance.
This is not possible since Alexa is only checking the full domain and no subdomains (so example.com is checked, but not xyz.example.com). mabdul16:20, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
All done - in future could you please give me the URLs in the post itself (without the leading "http://www.") as it makes this far easier. Thanks! — foxj08:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, there are literally thousands of them to do. Not all websites need to be listed here, however, only ones high on the Alexa scale. — foxj08:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
