FredBot is a bot, written in Java. He exists to perform many rote edits and maintenance tasks (such as career boxes for people).
Fredbot is run occasionally by Tone, manually. He does screw up from time to time, and if you think this has happened, please inform me promptly. — TONY LOVELL, Editor.
Features under consideration
Editors should pipe in on the discussion panel as to which of these they feel most strongly about.
- Maintain characteristics boxes in ship class pages and ship pages such that every entry in the Ship Class will be, by default, made in the boxes for all the Ships unless the human editors provide an explicit value on the Ship page to indicate that it differs from the others in its class. This would be an involved effort, however.
- Maintain the Bibliography section by automatically adding the long-form Citable Source Template transclusion for each such that is used in providing a footnote within the page.
Helping FredBot
Sometimes, my code to make FredBot work is not entirely sure it has done the right thing. As a fig-leaf, sometimes pages where this occurs get added to special Categories for follow-up by human eyes. Here are some.
- User:FredBot/Service Records to Acquire -- a sorted list of ~1135 Service Records we'd like to see, if they exist
- User:FredBot/British Submariners with no Service Records -- about 66; many are WW2 era, and beyond TNA date ranges
- User:FredBot/British Destroyer Captains with no Service Records -- just ONE; Culme-Seymour is a bug
- User:FredBot/British Cruiser Captains with no Service Records -- zero
- User:FredBot/British Battleship Captains with no Service Records -- zero; Culme-Seymour is, again, a bug
- User:FredBot/Offices with Gaps -- a list of ocver 1,600 offices that seem to have gaps between well-defined Tenures. Can you find any missing office holders?
- Category:People with old TabAppts -- 42; these are to be used as cribs to convert their offices to new paradigm, then to be destroyed in situ
- Category:Unknown Rank (UK) -- ~600 UK person pages that have no category for their highest rank obtained -- a sign they are pretty stubby
