• Operator: w:de:User:Merlissimo
• Function summary:
  • main task: changes external links which are outdated and can be successfully replaced by a new one.
  • side job: interwikis, but only supervised on single sites (done by py)
• Function details:

  The bot replaces urls that have to be changed. This can be only a domain change or a more complex page structure change on a website. Links are dectected with the help of the api (and not with regex) and are only replaced if the webserver of the new url returns a 200-status-response for that new resource. “Link text” is not changed. (own framework written in java - used by all of my bots)

• Programming language: java (own framework)
• Flag on: 60+ wikimedia projects
• Contributions

Could sb. please help me to localize the edit summary of my bot for pam? I have described the four possible edit summaries at User talk:MerlLinkBot. Merlissimo 11:55, 9 Nobiembri 2010 (UTC)

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the Japanese language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. In fact, of 1,736 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 12.32% of the messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages for 126 extensions, with 2,174 messages. Many of them are used in WMF projects and they are vital for understanding the wiki. Currently 6.53% of the WMF extension messages have been translated. Translators for over 90 languages contribute their work to MediaWiki this way every month.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator privileges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on MediaWiki.org and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we will be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Thanks, GerardM@Betawiki

• Currently 33.53% of the MediaWiki messages and 7.34% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising at Betawiki. This is the recent localisation activity^{[suglung a mepatad]} for your language. Thanks,

Could someome be so kind and move my contribution to your "village pump" and also, could someone please add a link to your village pump on meta GerardM 09:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

My fellow Kapampangan Wikipedians,

You are all cordially invited to the First Philippine Wikipedia Virtual Meetup to be held on May 3, 2008 at 8:00 PM Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). We all hope that you can make it. For more information, please see the English Wikipedia. Likewise, please indicate your willingness to attend so you may be sent an invitation to the conference.

Thanks and we hope to see you there! --Sky Harbor 14:31 2 Mayo 2008 (UTC)

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Carsrac 08:38, 25 Abril 2009 (UTC)

Implemented. —Pathoschild 18:25:19, 15 Mayu 2009 (UTC)
