[edit]

I'm a bit confused by this item, as it seems to mix precautions and hacking? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 20:39, 18 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Your Wwwyzzerdd extension is disabled in Google Chrome. Can you restore it? Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 17:14, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Чаховіч Уладзіслаў: really sorry this took so long. but it is fixed and back in the store now. BrokenSegue (talk) 23:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

BorkedBot on Kajiado County

[edit]

The bot has linked to a seemingly random youtube channel that contains the name "Kajiado County". I can't see any reason to think it's an official channel of the county.

The edit: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q285072&oldid=2419667852 Misha Vargas (talk) 03:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I see now that it's just filling out the details. Still not sure why it was there at all. Misha Vargas (talk) 03:58, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

BorkedBot

[edit]

Is BorkedBot busy? Because i can think of a few tasks that would be useful for him to take Trade (talk) 03:19, 23 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

it's really more a question if I am busy. that would depend on how complicated the task is but feel free to pitch tasks to me. BrokenSegue (talk) 03:21, 23 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Migrate P6760 to P13484 Trade (talk) 09:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
is there an accepted format for it? is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1136#P13484 agreed upon? BrokenSegue (talk) 15:42, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Judging from the property proposal i believe it is Trade (talk) 18:22, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
ok i did it BrokenSegue (talk) 13:40, 26 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Looks great! I should note the only reason i included point in time (P585) at Q1136#P13484 was to show the time of number of viewers/listeners (P5436). I also only use the qualifier on identifiers whose has characteristic (P1552) is This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!

Time for another task? --Trade (talk) 16:29, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

you should just describe the task. it really will depend on how hard it is and how interested i am BrokenSegue (talk) 17:22, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Add qualities to P1733. Currently there are three qualities for games: Notice: At the request of the publisher, this game is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search (Q134738880), Adult Only (Q121307131) and This game may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be appropriate for viewing at work (Q84944905) Trade (talk) 00:16, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
i don't think the steam api exposes this information in a nice way. i see some of it but not all of it BrokenSegue (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Adult Only (Q121307131) is shown in the SteamDB and since SteamDB uses the Steam API it must be exposed in a way that is readable https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app&q=&type=-1&category=888 Trade (talk) 13:11, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
the API i found gives me

and
'notes': 'This game contains adult content including frequent nudity, sexual dialog, sexual scenes/scenarios, references to drug/alcohol use, and anime boobies.'
but it's not clear to me how these map to the tags you want added BrokenSegue (talk) 15:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I presume reading it from the HTML source code isn't an option? Trade (talk) 20:26, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I'm pretty sure that 'use_age_gate': 'true' is mapped to This game may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be appropriate for viewing at work (Q84944905) Trade (talk) 20:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
the internet is pretty hostile to just basic web scraping nowadays. i find you get blocked real quick. i could try it BrokenSegue (talk) 21:19, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
https://steamdb.info/faq/#how-are-we-getting-this-information
Maybe this could provide an answer as to how find Adult Only (Q121307131) in the API? Trade (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Or just ask someone in the Discord https://steamdb.info/discord/ --Trade (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
they say " For most store information, we parse the store pages, because not all information is available in all the APIs". which sounds like they are just parsing the HTML so maybe i could do that. BrokenSegue (talk) 00:05, 10 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I made a table below which i hope can be to help --Trade (talk) 16:41, 10 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

why would unlisted games be deprecated? the ID is still valid, right? BrokenSegue (talk) 18:06, 10 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
From my understanding all unlisted games are no longer available for purchase on the Steam store. But i might possibly be wrong Trade (talk) 18:58, 10 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
We can just use P1552 instead if you prefer Trade (talk) 21:24, 11 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Did you ran into any issues? @BrokenSegue:--Trade (talk) 01:03, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

sorry i've been occupied with other things. i'll see if i can get to it later this week but thanksgiving is gonna eat my time after that BrokenSegue (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

By the way qualifiers with Adult Only (Q121307131) should also have access restriction status (P7228) > registration required (Q107459441) while This game may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be appropriate for viewing at work (Q84944905) should have access restriction status (P7228) > age verification system needed to pass (Q136832128) --Trade (talk) 01:07, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

In the meantime

[edit]

Would you be open to use your bot to simply remove statements that causes constraint violations (only specific constraints obviously)? That should take far less time setting up than the Steam scraping--Trade (talk) 22:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Constraints in question

Music

[edit]
  • Context: It has widely been agreed by Wikiproject Music that there are certain properties that should not be used for audio tracks, musical compositions or musical releases. For example Country of origin is acceptable for musical compositions and musical releases but not for audio tracks

Not music related but still related

Fiction

[edit]

Expecting users to fix most of these constraints manually one-by-one is a bit unreasonable. It has to be done by a bot regularly because otherwise users will just keep filling the constraint violations up again over time--Trade (talk) 22:38, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

is just removing the statements the right thing to do? BrokenSegue (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
At some point solving constraint violations manually simply stops becoming a viable option due to the sheer volume and time required and the persistance by which clueless users keeps adding them back. At that point the only options is to either remove the statements regularly or do nothing Trade (talk) 23:06, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
You also have to take into consideration that some of these constraint violations are genuinely demoralizing to the users who care about modeling and is likely to demotivate from spending as much time editing--Trade (talk) 23:08, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
There is a Telegram channel you can join if you wanna ask if it's okay with the community. I do not have the ability to use myself Telegram for the time being https://t.me/exmusica --Trade (talk) 23:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
are you saying these should be one-off jobs or recurring? BrokenSegue (talk) 16:53, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Recurring. I know this is a lot so we should probably just start with one and see how it goes. We can always consult with the local Wikiproject if you wanna be sure Trade (talk) 14:01, 7 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

As for the "Fiction" constraints you should consult with Valentina.Anitnelav if it's appropriate since i got the idea to the constraints from her--Trade (talk) 02:41, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

My action has been automatically identified as harmful

[edit]

Below are what I have so far. I want to create a new term for XT.COM.

Basic Information

[edit]
  • **Label (English):** XT.com
  • **Description (English):** Centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018
  • **Aliases:**
 - XT
 - XT Exchange

The only thing I am trying to do is creating a new term. Can you give me some advice? Thank you so much FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte (talk) 05:24, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

@FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte: i made it for you XT.com (Q136995808) BrokenSegue (talk) 16:02, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi:
Thank you so much. It is perfect. Another thing is how can I add company logo in the term? I already uploaded the logo here:
XT Exchange Logo
Thank you and have a nice day FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte (talk) 06:17, 26 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
you listed the image on commons as "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:". did you make this image? do you hold the copyright? BrokenSegue (talk) 16:38, 26 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I hold the copyright of this image. Thanks FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte (talk) 00:26, 27 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
and you are releasing the image under the creative commons? do you have the authority to do that? also generally we ask that people not make edits when they have a conflict of interest. BrokenSegue (talk) 16:56, 27 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi:
The thing I am trying to do here is adding company logo to the term "XT.com". Maybe I made mistake by releasing the image under the creative commons. I don't full understand the wikidata system yet. Can you please tell me what should I do?
I am a graphic designer. I designed the logo image on behalf of the company. Currently, the company is using this logo on the website.
Thank you so much FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte (talk) 00:31, 28 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
sounds like the company owns the image. by uploading it to wikimedia commons you relicensed it under the creative commons license. BrokenSegue (talk) 01:25, 28 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi
The company owns the image. I made a mistake. I tried to correct the mistake and change the image license. But I could not find how. Can you please give me some help?
Thank you so much FlyEaglesFly-Charlotte (talk) 00:25, 1 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
what license are you trying to change it to? BrokenSegue (talk) 00:45, 1 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Losing adminship

Hi, BrokenSegue, I have removed your admin flag due to inactivity. Inactivity is defined as less than five administrator actions or property creations over a six-month period. Your last logged admin action dates from May 5th. Thank you for your service! --Lymantria (talk) 17:41, 1 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Can you try to implement the things discussed here with your bot?

[edit]

Trade recommended I ask you here Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Shinto#Relevant_property_proposals

why not wait for the property? BrokenSegue (talk) 05:03, 3 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Are you reading the comments/discussion in your bot account talk page?

[edit]

Hi. Are you reading the comments/discussions in User talk:BorkedBot ?

Or you prefer discussing here the changes from your bot  ?

Regards. Muralituy (talk) 15:07, 6 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

i read both. i had thought i had responded to that. sorry. the bot just adds the data to any item with an existing youtube channel statement. i think there's no agreed answer to whether social media for a locality goes on the item for the location or the government of that location.

Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026

[edit]

Hello! I noticed you're a bot operator, so I thought you might be interested in a hackathon we're organizing: the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026, on 13–14 March in Arnhem, Netherlands.

It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Whether you want to work on bot frameworks, tools, or other technical projects, this could be a great opportunity to collaborate with fellow developers. Registration closes mid-January or when full. Let me know if there are any questions. Hope to see you there! Daanvr (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

thanks. i don't think i can make it to europe though. BrokenSegue (talk) 00:18, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
