No no no no no... Don't you even start that! -- 13:33, 11 May 2006 (CDT) :)
 * No no no no no... Please don't stop it now that you started it! --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png|User:Gem]] 04:23, 12 May 2006 (CDT)
 * And welcome back. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 05:06, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I must say that I am completely lost on what this thread is about. What don't you want me to start? What do you want me to keep doing? Seventy.twenty.x.x 05:23, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Dont even start was a comment on the box which had something about me and my icons. The second one was a comment on you leaving the wiki. The third was a welcome back. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 14:08, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

Hrm, Luxon clans or Luxon Clans
Does the game capitolize clan or no? Otherwise ... GW:ULC --Draygo Korvan 10:27, 9 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Better to ask the cognoscenti, I think. I am not sure the exact phrase "Luxon Clan" is used in game, though the Historian of Clans is called, well, Historian of Clans. Make of that what you will. We have both Category:PvE Builds and Category:PvE Team builds. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin, etc. Seventy.twenty.x.x 10:30, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Then ill make it Clans instead of clans, Gotta go with the game case. --Draygo Korvan 10:31, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
 * There are a LOT of inconsistency in category names. Many have been flagged to be moved to more standardized naming; but without a registered bot available at the moment, no one currently wants to clutter the recent changes page with a big batch of minor edits to the hundreds of articles that need their category assignments tweaked.  FYI: I would likely go capitalized on Luxon Clans, just to be consistent with the Great Houses category capitalization. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 11:09, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yep already did it Barek. --Draygo Korvan 11:11, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Register bot
Good to see somebody on GWiki is able to code a bot. Any chance to get it registered so we can filter it out on recent changes? -- 08:51, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
 * heh - edit conflict, I was just typing the same message --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 08:52, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Oh, I didn't code it. I'm just using the standard bot framework from Wikipedia. Everything I've done so far has been oneliners. As far as registration goes, we need somone with Bureaucrat or higher powers. That seems to be User:Gravewit or User:Nunix, both of whom seem to be AFW for the time being (or they don't contribute much). When they get back, I'll ask them. – 70.20  ( &#x260e; ) 2006-06-12 13:54 (UTC)
 * Could you put those bot crusades on hold until we have it registered? None of these crusades is top urgent, but they clutter the recent changes to the degree of making it impossible to monitor them. I'd rather wait another week or two, until Gravewit or Nunix have replied.
 * Also, I'd like to see a list of the current and upcoming bot crusades, similar to what User:Stabbot did. That'd help a lot to keep track of them. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 09:11, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Well, I'm finished with the pending category moves. Wasn't really planning on doing any more "crusades", as you put it. Sorry if it was bothersome. – 70.20  ( &#x260e; ) 2006-06-12 14:14 (UTC)


 * Don't get me wrong, you weren't bothersome. Crusades are necessary. It's annoying when the recent changes are spammed with repetitive edits, but it has to be done sometimes. I've done quite a few crusades myself (and much longer ones than those you did today), all manually, since I havn't learned to handle a bot. Can you recommend a guide/tutorial that explains how to do it in plain English for a tech dummy like me? --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 09:29, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Hmm... the pywikipediabot distribution already has several scripts prewritten. I've been using the replace.py script for the most part. For simple textual replacements that you can write using Regular Expressions, it is enough. The other bot page you linked to, User:Stabbot, has a good general guideline for how to get it running. If you have trouble with it, I can try to help. – 70.20  ( &#x260e; ) 2006-06-12 14:35 (UTC)
