Task/s: Import claims from infoboxes.
Code: Pywikibot's harvest_template.py
Function details: It adds claims based on what is in infoboxes, using the harvest_template.py script that comes with Pywikibot. Pretty simple stuff. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not necessarily simple stuff. For instance if you import coordinates, you have to make sure that the precision is as in the infobox, and if you import dates, you have to know if the date uses the Julian or Gregorian calendar. I would like to see some test edits for coordinates and dates. I have no objections for other data types. Regards, Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 10:01, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The harvest_template.py script currently only supports items, so it's not possible to use it to import coordinates or dates with it. I wish to do that at a later stage, but that will require a custom script I believe. An example of what the bot can add is here: Familien på Borgan (Q11968449), where stuff was imported from no:Mal:Infoboks film. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:33, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Are we ready for approval here? Any more comments?--Ymblanter (talk) 10:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
