Category move
Hey, do you think Whistler could move all the articles in Category:Species Galleries to Category:Species galleries? -- Ozzel 20:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! -- Ozzel 03:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the visit! Fans like yourself are why the CUSWE keeps growing! Bob Vitas

Texas userbox
Hey Xwing, I noticed you made a "this user is from texas, dangit" userbox for Ace of Aces 2.0, could you make me one and put it with the userboxes on my page?


 * Thanks! 17:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Bane Picture
If you care to look at my User Discussion, you will see my response... I did quite recently decide this picture was inappropriate here and removed it from my User page. I have no idea how to go about deleting things or putting things up for deletions and I hope you understand that. Humorbot5 23:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Friday Night Fight
Hey, im managing the | Friday Night Fight for BobafettH23 because I don't know where he is and I know everyone would like to see it continued. I was wondering if you could help advertise it for me because there aren't enough people voting on it. Spread the word!

user page help...again
hey its me agen, i was wondering if u can sort out my userboxes i have two sets and i want them both on the black background and them to have a good, sharp looking border. you have my full permission to do wateva you want to sort it out. Sry to pest u again... on the same subject no-less.

i wanna keep 3 separte sets of userboxes though though, one fore real life, one for Aron Skywalker and another for Darth Aeyz as side by side as possible... if u can just make the shape of the border and the title and i'll do the userboxes inside it. thats a rely good border by the way thx...
 * thx, i hadn't thought of that! Have a look around on the page though, its good fun!


 * thats more of wat i had in mind but mayb put the Dath Aeyz ting underneath the others?


 * thx for that link it will come in handy at some point...


 * dude yr a FRICKIN GENIUS i'll give you a wookie cookie tommorow, its 2.35 in the morning over here! thx alot man, i realy appreciate it,

Hey I almost forgot...

Adminship
As the vote had no objections whatsoever, and the deadline has come, I hereby deem you officially our next adminstrator of Wookieepedia. Enjoy your new job. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Legacy of the Force
You asked me to stop moving the legacy of the force books. My reasoning was that other wise the titles are all different such as the Betrayal page is simply "Betrayal" whereas Tempest is "Tempest(novel)". This would keep it more consistent but if you want me to stop I will.Darth Solus 21:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Whistler and sentient species category revamp
Since you volunteered your droid, would it be possible for Whistler to go to Category:Races and species and split the articles in that category into Category:Sentient species (*), where * = the initial letter of the article title? I don't know it that would be too complicated or not. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 20:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Let me make sure I get this straight. You want all of the species starting with the letter 'a' to go in Category:Sentient species (A), such as Aalagar, Aar'aa, Aaris, etc. And then do the same thing with b, c, d, etc. If that's correct so far, would I be replacing the current category - Category:Races and species - with these new ones, or would it just be in addition to it. Also, would it include species under the subcats like Category:Aquatic sentient species or not? —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The alphabetical categories, under what I proposed for the revamp, would be subcategories of the main sentient species category (or sub-sub categories grouped together as "Sentient species by name" or something like that.) I'd also like Category:Races and species to have its name changed to Category:Sentient species, which could be done by hand after all the subcategories are eatablished.  The alphabetized categories would include those articles already in subcats like Category:Aquatic sentient species, but those categories are small enough that they could be taken care of by hand, probably.  I don't know if it's a good idea to start on it right away, though, partly because I can't respond to any criticism of the concept until the new year...&mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 05:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, and the whole point of this alphacat setup is ease in finding the species, but one can still have it included with its similar species. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm pretty sure I see what you want, so I'll probably do a bit of it tonight (or this morning, whatever :P). Let me know if it goes wrong. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems your bot missed three species that didn't have the exact capitalization or spacing for Category:Races and species. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess it happens every time there is an extra space in the category. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's because some of them are "Category: Races and species" with a space in there. I've got an easy fix for that now though. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What would you like me to do for articles like Kasa Horansi that are currently under H, even though they start with K? —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That is tricky considering that its one of four subspecies of the Horansi. Since are technically subspecies, with this new system they would fall into a Category:Sentient subspecies or Category:Subspecies by sentient species. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

User Ban Template Idea

 * I have an idea for a user ban warning template. Click here! I thought it was a cool idea.--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui] [Send Transmision] 23:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's similar to those because I basically used the "He is too dangerous to be kept alive" box. I just thought it would bring some style.--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui] [Send Transmision] 23:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Galactic Battlegrounds Aurebesh translations

 * Actually, just about every misspelling in this section is [sic] because the text is apparently riddled with errors. Personally, I'd support removing the section entirely because it contains several of the typos in the Hunt, and there's too many of them to mark [sic]. ‘Millenium’ is just the tip of the iceberg, but for what it's worth, that's a misspelling in the source material. Enochf 18:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright. Thanks for letting me know. Maybe instead of labeling all with [sic], we should just put a note on that section such as, "This section is a direct quote of ???, all typos are correct", or something of the sort. —Xwing328 (Talk) 20:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I know. I was talking to Green tentacle about this a few minutes before because he fixed a typo in the same section. This is a quick-fix, but it's the best I could think of. Enochf 20:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for fixing the code in my signature. What's odd is that the problem never showed up for me, so I didn't notice that I hadn't closed the tag. Maybe just each unique browser handled it differently. Anyway, I appreciate it. -- Wild yoda - talk - contribs - 22:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Can you tell me how you got your bot? I want to make a bot but I am confused.--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui] [Send Transmision] 20:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. I am adding you and Whistler to my Friends list.--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 22:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you tell me too? There's a wiki that I'm helping and something like this would be great.--Herbsewell 01:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I think the best source of information for you starting would be User:Sikon/Pywikipedia. Also, look at Wikipedia's many pages on bot stuff. Basically, you download the Pywikipedia software, create a bot username for it to run under, follow the instructions provided by Sikon (or others), then login and run Pywikipedia scripts using a program like Command Prompt. For example: If I want to move articles from one category to another, I would open Command Prompt and type category.py move -from:First_Category_Name -to:Second_Category_Name. Unless you're making mass edits, a bot really won't be to helpful though. Make sure you follow the communities wishes as well. Not everyone likes bot edits. I hope this helps. —Xwing328 (Talk) 06:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * See also: Droids —Xwing328 (Talk) 06:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a bad feeling about this. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You're not the only one. As long as they prove their value to the community. —Xwing328 (Talk) 06:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm kinda confused about the downloading and the command promt.--Herbsewell 12:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you need to leave the ' symbols? Where do you download the stuff to? How does the "Snapshot" interact with the "Python"?--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span>  [Send Transmision]</Span> 15:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe you could E-mail me your code so I can figure out what to do. 15:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty busy right now, but look back in a few hours. I'll probably have more time. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. I wrote some instructions (similar to Sikon's but hopefully more detailed) at User:Xwing328/Pywikipedia. In response to your previous question: Yes, leave the ' marks. You can get to Command Prompt by clicking Start, Run, typing cmd, and pressing OK. The "snapshot" just gets placed inside the Python folder. Hopefully the instructions I wrote will explain the rest. And no, emailing the code isn't entirely feasible right now. —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL. I don't think and e-mail would be needed anymore. One final question though. Do I extract the folder into Python_2.5 or just into Program Files?--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 00:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you are talking about the snapshot, extract it into a folder under Python 2.5. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I was actually refering to the Python. I should have specified.--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 00:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, then extract it to C:/Program Files/Python 2.5. It can really be whatever you want, as long as you know how to get to it. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What I had was a .msi file (Windows Installer Package). You click it, and it asks you where you want it. So like I said above, just put it wherever you want. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there a folder in your .msi?--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 00:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No. If you have the .msi file, click it, and it should open up an install window. From there, you choose what to install and where to install it. —Xwing328 (Talk) 01:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. That settles it. The .tar had a folder. Thanks!!!--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 01:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, I don't remember a .tar folder, but as long as you figured it out...Good luck. —Xwing328 (Talk) 01:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah. One last thing. Do you take the snapshot files out of the snapshot folder and put them into your Pywikipedia folder or do you leave the files in the snapshot folder?--Ultric  Sandov -- [Ultimate Spy]</Span>--[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Bothawui]</Span> [Send Transmision]</Span> 01:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Leave the snapshot files in their folder. I'm pretty sure I just named it Pywikipedia and placed that folder in the Python 2.5 folder. —Xwing328 (Talk) 01:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ummm. When I type in 'Login.py', is it supposed to open up 'login.py' in notepad? 01:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Do me a favor and log in to the IRC channel, it will be easier to help you from there. —Xwing328 (Talk) 01:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How would you do this with other wikias?--Herbsewell 03:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Edit user-config.py and change 'starwars' to whatever site you're on. Also change your username and language if that stuff is different. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What format do we create the files?--Herbsewell 15:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about the user-congfig.py file, create it in Notepad but be sure to save it as a .py file, and NOT a text file. —Xwing328 (Talk) 17:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I typed in login.py and got this notepad file with a bunch of text. Where do I put the password?--Herbsewell 18:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like you have the same problem as Ultric. You have to change the file association so that it doesn't automatically open with Notepad. To do that, find the login.py file, right click on it, and go to properties. Then click "Change" in the "Opens with:" area and find Python or python.exe. Hopefully that'll take care of the problem. Note: in order to edit a .py file, you'll have to right click on it and say Edit with IDLE, Edit with Notepad, or Open with Notepad, whichever choice it gives you. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well this question is kinda late but how do you make a python file? I have no idea what is it.--Herbsewell 18:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, I thought I explained this...open up Notepad. You should have a blank file. Type in the information you want, and click File - Save as. Enter YourFileName.py and for "Save as type", select "All files". Then click save. The only python files you should even be creating are the ones listed in the instructions here. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is python.exe?--Herbsewell 18:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you followed the instructions I wrote, it should be under C:\Program Files\Python 2.5. Otherwise, it'll be wherever you installed Python. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It is the one with the symbol that sort of looks like a swastika in front of the chalkboard like window that says python? Also I downloaded Python25.--Herbsewell 18:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Swastika...lol. Yes. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, for some reason the login.py deleted itself.--Herbsewell 19:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Check you're Recycle Bin. If that doesn't work, send me your email and I'll send it to you. —Xwing328 (Talk) 19:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So I got it from my recycling bin, changed it to a python file, and did the whole command and login.py thing. Then I got this:
 * OK, well as a last-ditch attempt if you want... Send me your email address and I'll zip the files I have and send them to you. Then you can just change the user name and everything should (hopefully) work. —Xwing328 (Talk) 19:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's HerbSewell@gmail.com. I have to thank you for being so patient.  Was it easier for you, or are you as much of a technical retard as I am?--Herbsewell 19:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Message sent. —Xwing328 (Talk) 19:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Message received.--Herbsewell 19:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How do I make my family? This might be the problem.--Herbsewell 19:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I forgot you weren't on starwars. What site ARE you editing? I'd suggest opening up starwars_family.py under the Families folder and resaving it as whatever site you are on. Then change the values to the new ones. If you don't know what to change, I might be able to figure it out. You also need to change user-config.py as it is probably still set to Whistler and starwars. —Xwing328 (Talk) 20:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's zelda.wikia.com so I'm pretty sure it's Zelda wiki.--Herbsewell 20:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like all the 'starwars' should be 'zelda' and 'Wookieepedia' should be 'Zeldapedia'.
 * Should I just give up? It's been giving me the same thing again and again.--Herbsewell 20:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know what to say. Did you ask Sikon? —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have but he's not responding. Do you know where I can get some official help from someone affiliated with Mediawiki?--Herbsewell 11:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know if any Mediawiki people will help with this, but you can check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot. —Xwing328 (Talk) 17:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay they told me to try using Python 2.4 or Python 2.3 Otherwise, run the Python interpreter and type in: "import site". Where can I get Python 2.4 or Python 2.3?--Herbsewell 21:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Go to http://www.python.org. I believe this is the file you want - http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/python-2.4.4.msi 21:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay Xwing328. It worked.  Wait I used my own username for the site.  Will it say if it worked or not?  If didn't work will it say?  How do I know it logged on?--Herbsewell 21:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, to continue this conversation 1) log on to AIM and message me at Xwing328 or 2) let me know if you don't have AIM. 21:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No I do not have AIM. Why don't we use the IRC chat?--Herbsewell 21:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That'll work, but not every may be happy. Oh well... 21:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Here it is:

My name change:
'' Xwing328 goes into a meditative trance to erase Humorbot5 from his memory. '' :P —Xwing328 (Talk) 17:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Because it occurred to me that I would quite like to have a name, that was also that of one of my favorite characters. I assumed Darth Bane and Boba Fett were both taken (whether they actually are or not doesn't really concern me) and I know for a fact Darth Vader is taken. Tott Doneeta, Mith'raw'nuruodo(If I spelt that right then I am truly the master of Star Wars) Kir Kanos and Kyle Katarn are not really the suave arrogant charismatic young and brilliant guys that I am....So Jagged Fel was therefore an obvious choice.... And the rest (as they say) is history....Besides...I've had that "humorbot" id since 2000/2001....I was only 10/11 then so I for one think it was definitely time for a change...Besides I'm a lot more like Jagged Fel than I am Humorbot 5.0 anyway...(see Humorbot 5.0 about half way down the page.) Plus when you're called "Jagged Fel" noone can say "Why's he called ..... He's not even funny." Well those my friend, are the reasons for my name change...In time perhaps you will accept my new name....and completely forget about the old one...For now I bid you adieu....  Jagged Fel,  the man formerly known as Humorbot'  (Yo!)''[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]
 * I see. I've had my name since well before 2000, but I don't really feel like changing.

 * I went ahead and fixed it myself, to make sure I got it right. I had to add width=100% to mine to make it work with all of my tables and everything. You shouldn't need that. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Three-revert rule
I’m an n00b and I just learned of this rule when you mentioned it on Jack Nebulax’s talk page. I have a question; this rule seems to only apply when you repeatedly (4 times in 24 hours) revert another wookieepedian’s edits. Usually when I edit an article I’ll do a little edit, then I’ll notice something else or decide to add a link and so on, and I end up editing the page far more than 3 times in a day but when I do this I don’t revert anyone else’s edits, I merely add to the article. Is the penalty of the revert rule applicable in this situation? Either way I’ve been trying not to do this, now I think about the edits that I’ll make to an article longer than five seconds.

Location boxes
How do you use location boxes? I was looking on the userbox proposals and saw your Texas box, I was wondering how to use them, because I was going to create a Georgia one. - Patricksheridan 6:20pm, January 11, 2007

I am confused.
Before I start I just want to tell you that I am okay with the block. I am not argueing with you about it, I'm just confused on what your email said. In your Email you said that he warned me on the Alpha 17 section of my talk page. That had nothing to do with the more recent arguement with Darth Culator.

<Insert happy operational bot induced squealing here>
Did you figure out why I can't get Leebo to work?--23:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\replace.py", line 448, in ? main File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\replace.py", line 443, in main bot.run File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\replace.py", line 195, in run for page in self.generator: File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\pagegenerators.py", line 379, in __iter__ for page in self.generator: File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\pagegenerators.py", line 27, in __iter__ for page in wikipedia.getSite.allpages(start = self.start, namespace = self.namespace): File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 2935, in allpages yield Page(self, hit) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 285, in __init__ self._site = getSite(lowerNs, self.site.family.name) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 3227, in getSite _sites[key] = Site(code=code, fam=fam, user=user) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\Pywikipedia\wikipedia.py", line 2533, in __init__ raise KeyError("Language %s does not exist in family %s"%(self.lang,self.family.name)) KeyError: u'Language sw does not exist in family starwars'
 * Actually, I think so. Edit login.py, find the line that says something like len(L) == 4 and change the 4 to 5. Then save it and try to log in again. 23:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Oh my gosh. THANK YOU!!! Leebo shall now live! *Droid whirring noises**Leebo comes to life* . It said "Should be logged in now".--00:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * One last thing. How do I do the whole -something + something else stuff?--Your friendly neighborhood squealer00:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you mean how do you replace something. Type replace.py -page:Name_of_Page "text to replace" "new text" It will show what it is going to change, then ask for confirmation. y=yes n=no, a=yes to every page. You can actually have it change more than one page, which is what makes it useful. The best way to do so is make a text file called Replace.txt. In it, list all the pages to change. Ex: Page 1 Page 2 Another page Some random page You get the point . Then you'd run it by typing replace.py -file:Replace.txt "text to replace" "what you want it to say"  Make sense? Also, open up the scripts, such as replace.py with Notepad and read the descriptions to find more things you can do. Also,   and   are the same.  01:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * DROID ETIQUETTE
 * If you don't know what you're doing, DON'T do it.
 * Never log in to your bot account via the web browser. Any comments and normal edits you make should be under your normal username. 01:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you expect this to happen (OMG! If Xwing328, an admin who probably has loads of experience in this field, can do it then I, someone who needs to check the manual to find out what the hard drive is, sure can)?--Herbsewell 01:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How do you edit a page?-- 02:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You have to run scripts. It's only handy if you're doing mass edits, so you can tell it to move all these pages here or replace this word with that in this category. If I were you, I'd try searching for some tutorials on the internet. It's kinda hard to explain any more without going into painstaking detail. 02:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Also how do I get a list of pages to be categorized, and what is the process of getting my bot registered as...well a bot? The Recent Changes looks like Battlefront 3.--Herbsewell 02:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:Categoryless and Special:Uncategorizedpages. For bot status, talk to a higher-up in Wikia like Sannse. You must prove yourself first and have community consensus usually. 02:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I was actually talking about the bot getting a list of pages to be categorized. My mistake, sorry.--Herbsewell 03:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * For the options while editing a page, There's a [y]es, [N]o, and an [a]ll. What does the [a]ll do?--Herbsewell 03:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you have more than one page being edited, [a]ll confirms the changes for every page, instead of having to press [y]es for each page. 04:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah I just learned that, thanks. Is there a way for it not to sleep?--Herbsewell 04:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not without screwing up the server. 04:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. You could have told me before about -start:!. Can you teach me how to categorize pages, with the bot?--Herbsewell 11:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What did -start:! do? And it's not that it screws up the server, more like it can overload it. To learn more, just read the summaries in category.py. They all follow the same basic format. For example, type python category.py move -from:US -to:'United States' This will move all pages in the category US to the category United States.  14:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well nothing really, it's just I really wanted a way to be able to edit the entire server.--Herbsewell 21:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's cool...the only thing you have to worry about is overloading it, but that's what the throttle values do, so unless you change them, it shouldn't be a problem at all. At least, that's what I think. 21:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I want to take all articles in Category:Enemies and take out of them Category:Races. How would I do this?--Herbsewell 01:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think it would be something like: replacy.py -cat:Enemies "" ""  This will probably leave a blank line, but it should work. If it misses a few articles, the capitalization of those might be different, like   01:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there a difference between replace.py and replacy.py?--Herbsewell 01:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's called a typo :P 01:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * . Anyway, is there a way to get a bot to do things automatically?--Herbsewell 01:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Supposedly, but I don't know how. 01:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * For some reason, I can't edit pages on the star wars wiki. It gives me this:

What's the diagnosis? It actually works until I to the articles beginning with S, and somewhere around there, this happens.--Herbsewell 00:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC) import family class Family(family.Family): def __init__(self): family.Family.__init__(self) self.name = 'finalfantasy' self.langs = { 'en': None, }      # Most namespaces are inherited from family.Family. self.namespaces[4] = { '_default': u'Final Fantasy Wiki:', }      self.namespaces[5] = { '_default': u'Final Fantasy Wiki talk:', }      # A few selected big languages for things that we do not want to loop over # all languages. This is only needed by the titletranslate.py module, so      # if you carefully avoid the options, you could get away without these # for another wiki family. self.languages_by_size = ['en'] def hostname(self,code): return 'finalfantasy.wikia.com' def path(self, code): return '/index.php' def version(self, code): return "1.7"
 * First of all, what are you trying to edit on the Wookieepedia? Also, it appears you defined a language somewhere as sw instead of en. 00:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well maybe you can do it. Since we found out writing Star Wars Missions 4: Destroy the Liquidator is grammatically incorrect, I took it upon myself to correct all appearances that have it in this fashion. Do you know where I might have put sw instead of en?--Herbsewell 00:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't say for sure, but that's what the last line of the code makes me think. Check starwars_family.py and user-config.py. 00:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I had Whistler change some, I don't know if any others or left. 00:43, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just an unrelated request. There are some people at wiki I'm using the bot in, (one of them just became an admin) and they asking about how to make a bot. Is it possible that you could make your instructions universal for all wikia, and add the part about the changing the len(L) == 4 to len(L) == 5?--Herbsewell 01:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed them a bit, and it has links at the bottom to other helpful pages. 01:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just for confirmation from an admin, should Iron Fist be changed like Star Wars Missions 4: Destroy the Liquidator?--Herbsewell 01:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I won't kill you for changing it, but you might wanna do a quick poll in the forums. 02:02, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never even seen a book italicized like that, but whatever... 02:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Since there is now a vote on this, do we just reverse all the corrections that whistler and me did?--Herbsewell 03:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, leave them until it is decided.
 * I'm asking because Kuralyov reverted all my corrections of pages that list the novel Iron Fist as an appearance, but whatever...--Herbsewell 03:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay Xwing. This thing where when I get in the S section of articles is still happening. I even tried downloading the snapshot that Sikon made. What do I do?--Herbsewell 14:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. Maybe one of the articles has a funky character in it that isn't supported. 16:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting hypothesis. What about you, does this happen to you when you get to this point?--Herbsewell 16:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, and I don't ever use start:! as it's not recommended. Don't ask me why, go read the notes in the file. 17:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you help me help somebody else make a bot? I'm having trouble making a family for this wiki--Herbsewell 18:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing this is what you want, saved as finalfantasy_family.py:
 * Hmm...it seems not to be working.--Herbsewell 19:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Forum:Action figures
Can you see the comments and consider our request?--Herbsewell 21:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I closed the original thread for now. I have started a new thread, put haven't posted it yet so that we can work out some details. Please contact me via IRC or some other method. 22:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
