BeneBot* 5

BeneBot* (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Operator: Bene* (talk • contribs • logs)

Task/s: Move backlinks from one item to another.

Function details: When items get merged, they often are both used in other items (eg here). So I created a script that uses a page where admins can add the id of the "from" and the "to" items and the bot will change the item id in all statements the item is used. For that I've created User talk:BeneBot*/movelinks.js, there you can also find a technical explanation. --Bene* ^t_a^l_k 09:57, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

It sounds a bit less complete than User:SamoaBot/Delinker IMHO. --Ricordisamoa 22:58, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Then you should have made this a bit more public so I could have saved a lot of time. At Wikidata:Bot_requests there appear requests like the one above more than once. However, is that task of your bot approved anywhere? I couldn't find the request. -- Bene* ^t_a^l_k 23:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

@Bene*: I have a sample for run. Can you run it? --by Revi_TalkCMG at 12:00, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Of course, just add it to the talk page. ;-) -- Bene* ^t_a^l_k 20:38, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I did. please run it :D --by Revi_TalkCMG at 21:50, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

OK, sorry for the delay, but something with crontabs didn't want to work. However, now everything works fine. :-) -- Bene* ^t_a^l_k 22:09, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, see RFD and we still see 9 links to test cases. --by Revi at 22:17, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Works now. I think this task can be approved now. --by Revi at 05:55, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
