02:27.35morgothBotPyWelcome back, morgoth1145.
02:27.38morgoth1145Okay
02:27.47Eulaliawb
02:27.54morgoth1145so, with Ask Will Wright up, and with the rules saying that questions would be randomly chosen
02:28.57morgoth1145would there be any better place to submit the administrative question of whether we could get source pictures such as ship tool pictures and badge pictures and the like?  As well as our question about licencing.
02:29.20morgoth1145Those both seem like important administrative questions that should be asked, and not left to chance
02:33.52morgoth1145pokes Ose
02:34.01Oseya?
02:34.08morgoth1145[2009:01:09:21:27:57] <morgoth1145> so, with Ask Will Wright up, and with the rules saying that questions would be randomly chosen

02:34.25Oseah
02:34.51Osewell I was speaking to KyleH earlier, but he's off now
02:35.27morgoth1145did you get an answer as to whether it'd be a problem with you being idle when winners are selected?
02:37.22morgoth1145And am I reading this right in that 20 people will get posters, randomly selected from the question pool?  That could be a decent chance of winning, actually
02:40.26morgoth1145tries to think of one good question, trying to limit himself to one, too
02:40.57morgoth1145oo
02:41.01morgoth1145has a great idea
02:44.17morgoth1145pokes Ose again
02:44.40Osehuh?
02:44.49morgoth1145Do you have a short attention span?  :P  It's not like I take forever to respond
02:44.55morgoth1145[2009:01:09:21:35:30] <morgoth1145> did you get an answer as to whether it'd be a problem with you being idle when winners are selected?

14:35.29morgothBotPyWelcome back, morgoth1145.
14:35.54morgoth1145{{FA/6}} is obselete, right?  We don't use it in the new system?
14:35.55Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:FA/6
14:36.47OseI think so
14:44.38morgoth1145whoo, we're spamming the delete log
14:44.51Oseyay
14:46.19morgoth1145One thing I'm going to have to make my bot do when I get around to making it work is to have it do a crawl of the wiki and find any lonely talk pages, talk pages that don't have an article associated with them, and list them for us.
14:58.54morgoth1145Oo, hit a jackpot there
15:11.14morgoth1145.away Breakfast
15:11.14morgothBotPyGoodbye, morgoth1145.
15:25.47morgoth1145.back
15:25.47morgothBotPyWelcome back, morgoth1145.
15:32.31morgoth1145...
15:32.40morgoth1145that pywikiabot isn't working, either...
15:34.01morgoth1145what the crap!?
15:34.49Osewhat are you trying to do?
15:35.31Osei'd use AWB but i'm on my slowputer and would rather just set it to run while i'm afk
15:45.49morgoth1145get pywikiabot to run so that I have more control over my bot
15:46.39morgoth1145but it's not working, even though it's the version made specifically to work with wikia
15:46.51morgoth1145and what the crap...my screen just went blank for a couple seconds...
15:46.56morgoth1145I didn't do anything, either...
15:51.25morgoth1145with AWB, how do I get it to do stuff?
15:51.32morgoth1145like auto-find/replace?
15:52.51morgoth1145Nevermind, think I found it
15:54.47Oseit's very simple
15:55.07Oseyou make a list of pages, then tell it to do something to all those pages
15:56.56Osemorgoth1145: you aren't marked as a bot yet?
15:57.59morgoth1145I'm doing a test to make sure it works before I worry about it
15:58.10morgoth1145how do I make a list of pages, though?
15:58.23morgoth1145Wait, nevermind
15:59.12Osedewd...
15:59.45Oseearlier AWB didn't support wikia actively, and we had to make lists by hand :/
16:00.17morgoth1145Hey, I'm figuring this out as I go, it's not like I've ever used anything like it before
16:02.43Osewhat's the chanserv command to list ops?
16:03.03morgoth1145How does the Substitute Template thing work?
16:03.06morgoth1145and um...
16:04.02morgoth1145Doesn't look like there is one.  /chanserv help commands
16:05.48Ose<PROTECTED>
16:08.51morgoth1145oh, missed that one
16:09.14morgoth1145What was that for?
16:09.36Osefinding out who has #wikia op (they are mostly staff = can mark your bot)
16:11.49morgoth1145oh
16:12.22morgoth1145I'm still doing a few tests before I go and do this
16:14.31morgoth1145Woah
16:14.31morgoth1145[[SporeWiki:Sandbox]]
16:14.31Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Sandbox
16:14.31Osewell you can't set it to autosave without being a bot anyway
16:15.37morgoth1145You can
16:15.38morgoth1145I have
16:15.50morgoth1145I'm just making a list of one page at a time as I'm testing
16:16.03morgoth1145and not a huge list for it to work on
16:32.45morgoth1145Ose: When did those "Facts about 'PAGENAME'" boxes start appearing at the bottom?
16:33.13Osewhen the new SMW version was installed I think
16:33.25Oseask the #semanticmediawiki guys
16:34.11morgoth1145Ah
16:35.12morgoth1145I wonder if that's what's making the errors on [[SporeWiki:Sandbox]]
16:35.12Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Sandbox
16:39.58Ose/me goes to clean up {{infobox creature}}
16:39.58DottedOse meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:infobox_creature
16:43.57morgoth1145The thing is, it doesn't seem to happen anywhere else {{infobox creature}} is used
16:43.57Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:infobox_creature
16:46.35morgoth1145Ose: Do you know of any way to get AWB to remove a template parameter completely?  (Like removing |Backcolor, no matter what is given to it.)
16:46.49Oseno :/
16:46.58Oseask in #autowikibrowser ?
16:51.20Osefixed btw
17:00.27morgoth1145sweet
17:02.29morgoth1145I wish I could get pywikiabot working, as I'd have so much more control with it
17:03.05Oseyeah
17:03.13OseAWB is for simple tasks
17:04.49morgoth1145The tasks I want to do are just a tad bit too complex, yet still masssive
17:05.22morgoth1145wishes Eulalia were here
17:05.30morgoth1145Then I could just ask him to bot the bot
17:25.33Ose"*What will the Spore Expansion pack include and will it be released? [[User:Drsdino|Sith&#39;ari 20050515]] 16:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC) "

17:51.34morgoth1145I was answering the testing question
17:51.42Osetimemaster and poeringu?
17:52.30EulaliaA better question, I'd assume,
17:52.34EulaliaOse: Does it need a bot flag?
