Other tasks

This MarioWiki Bot, it could do other tasks, like deleting in-sufficient length New Stubs past the due date, and maybe automatically count scores for proposals and archive them. It may never happen, but it could be a suggestion?

Yes, people used to welcome users theirselves, we could have users welcome new users and the bot doing other things... maybe it could even hand out warnings and ban users?M&L+No Moar Picklez=Wurld War III=[[Image:SMG YellowLuma.jpg|45px]]| 21:33, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Ignoring the amount of time it would take to implement either, users are much more efficient than a bot in completing most wiki functions, especially if and when mistakes are made. Also, users welcoming new users isn't applicable because of the magnitude of new users who join on a daily basis. Mario4Ever (talk)

Well, a lot of users could patrol and welcome new users immeadiately using {{welcome|M&L}} or whatever their username is, right? Here's a coin, MarioWiki Bot!File:NSMBwii coin.jpgM&L+No Moar Picklez=Wurld War III=[[Image:SMG YellowLuma.jpg|45px]]| 21:48, 7 February 2012 (EST)

A Bot can't recognise vandalism, because it can't think! Therefore, it should never be permitted issue warnings. YoshiKong (talk)

Sooo, you're a robot? -User:Bowserdude729

Please don't talk to the bot. It exists only to put the welcome message on new users' talk pages. Mario4Ever (talk)

Upgrade this bot

Hey admins, I am wondering. Should you guys upgrade the bot to filter bad edits? Because they have it on wikipedia to prevent unconstructive edits. But Maybe We should just keep using the warning/reminder/ban system. So the answer is, yes or no? And if its a yes, when will the upgrade be applied?

Bots can't discriminate between bad and good. We can add a filter in as to what we think a bad edit is, like any edit removing over 50,000 bytes, but that's not necessary and could mess up at times. Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

Thanks for letting me know. Wikipedia seems to either have advanced bots, or their filter isn't very reliable. I see that it is better keep using the ban system. Btw wikipedia has a vandalism filter even though they already have a ban system. ----Toolsotrade

What now?

It's for general maintenance around the wiki. The Awesome 08:51, 28 December 2012 (EST)
