Operator: Dachary (talkcontribslogs)

Task/s: Add licensing information to software forges entries in accordance to what is found in the corresponding Wikipedia page. It is used as a helper in the context of the Forges project

Code: https://lab.forgefriends.org/friendlyforgeformat/f3-wikidata-bot/

Function details: ForgesBot is a CLI tool designed to be used by participants in the Forges project in two steps. First it is run to do some sanity check, such as verifying forges are associated with a license. If some information is missing, the participant can manually add it or it can use ForgesBot to do so.

The implementation includes one plugin for each task. There is currently only one plugin to verify and edit the license information. The license is deduced by querying the wikipedia pages of each software: if they consistently mention the same license the edit can be done. If there are discrepancies they are reported and no action is done.

I don't think I understand the task. Can you do some (~30) test edits? Or try to explain again? BrokenSegue (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
