User:SvipBot

This is SvipBot, it is the bot of Svip, hence its unoriginal name.

Currently the bot can perform a random set of lowercase redirects to original type of redirect. For instance, it will create a redirect from "Xmas time is fear" to "Xmas Time Is Fear".

You can watch its edits here. It doesn't appear in Recent Changes, as its edits are marked as bot edits, just turn on bot edits to see them.

Suggestions for the bot can go in its talk page. Thank you.

Routine tasks

The bot performs the following tasks upon each run:

Creating lowercase redirects.

The bot obtains 20 random articles in the article namespace, it produces a lowercase with the first letter capitalised and matches it against the original article, if they don't match, it creates a redirect from the lowercase version to the original version, but only if the lowercase version doesn't already exist.

Fixing {{e}} and {{c}} tags, and general episode and comic links in general.

First of all, the bots tries to find what links to the templates in question, and fixes their links to either {{elink}}, {{flink}} or {{clink}}. The bot will probably obtain a list of episodes and comics first and store them locally. Every month it will probably check Episode Listing and Comic Listing again to make sure there haven't been any updates in the mean time.

In the future, adding an {{e|}} link, will simply prompt the bot to fix it.

Proposed tasks

These tasks are not implemented yet, but are proposals

Updating appearances lists automatically.

If an episode/film and/or comic (and its miscellany with cameo characters) link to a character in an appearance form (the bot should be smart enough to detect whether it is an actual appearance, and not just a reference to a character in a trivia manner), the bot will add a link from that character to the episode/film/comic. But it will also do the reverse, if it finds a link to an episode from an appearance list on a character article, it will link back, but not from films, because there cameo characters (given the large amount of them) are dealt with differently.

As a start, the bot will ignore film cut episodes, due to their different twist, but they are on the drawing board.

Specific tasks

These are specific tasks, rather than the more all around as mentioned above.

• Create production links (both upper and lowercase), episode number and broadcasting number (both upper and lowercase) to their episodes.
  • Done (code left in case more episodes comes *crosses claws*)
