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.

- Or just ask someone in the Discord https://steamdb.info/discord/ --Trade (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

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)
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)

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)
- is just removing the statements the right thing to do? BrokenSegue (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

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)

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)
