Discussion

It will be useful for recordkeeping to include a list of database reports here, although the approval will not be limited to those reports. Also, I'd suggest adding logic to skip updates on pages that contain {{database report}}, similar to what was recently added to HaleBot, so that in the future if the community switches any broken reports to use the template, this bot won't try to overrwrite the output of the updated (and possibly improved) queries. – SD0001 (talk) 14:06, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source code available: not currently Per recent discussions, it is encouraged to make the source code available. – SD0001 (talk) 14:07, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SD0001, I'm starting with the reports I've listed above, though I'd like to add more over time. I'm happy to file new BRFAs as needed. I'll definitely add the functionality to skip the database report template. Regarding the source code, I'm aware of that discussion and understand that everyone is encouraged to publish their code so others can run it if the original operator isn't available. I'll publish the source code on GitHub once I've made a few improvements and cleaned it up a bit. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:45, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Not going to put a number or a date on it, but please run so that each report gets at least two edits (and say a max of five?) so that we can make sure everything's working as intended.

Trial complete. Edits Everything looks good to me. All the reports have two to three edits, and some revisions have no changes other than the timestamp because there were no updates in the report data. Please let me know if you want more edits. Just noting that I have tweaked the code to ignore pages with the {{database report}} template. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:21, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
