Adding Suburb pages to Mobile Phone Mast bot?
Hi Rooster,
I was looking into ways to add the current status of a suburb's Phone Mast to that suburb's information box. I started work on a template to provide a nice text description of the current status after the mast listing, but then ran up against the difficulty of extracting the current status from your list of masts by just having the suburb name, without availability of the parser functions.
What I'm wondering is if you might be willing to add functionality to your bot to update the suburb pages in the same way your Necrotech building bot does. The result could either be a human-friendly text status (my original idea) eg:
- Phone Mast: Smith Towers [55, 16] Unpowered
My existing templates of Template:MalTelMastStatusText_active, Template:MalTelMastStatusText_inactive etc. could help with that.
However, coloring it in the same way you do the Necrotech buildings might work too.
For suburbs where the building name isn't linked, perhaps it could be added. All of this would just use the existing mast_coordinates line in the infobox.
What do you think? :) --Zhani 19:18, 29 August 2008 (BST)
- I must re-learn wiki markup. Will attempt to consider awesomeness of your idea in the future, where I will almost certainly ask somebody with more skill to have a go at it anyway. --

External Military Report Bot working?
Is the external military report bot being ran? If so it could make it a lot easier for me to update the reports page, but it says that it hasen't been ran in over a month. Kevyn Wu 06:45, 2 September 2008 (BST)
- Will resurrect bot soon, providing it will still run without destroying anything. -- RoosterDragon 21:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Ackland Mall in the MIC
From what I can tell, someone tried to combine a phone mast template with the MallStatus template (because Ackland has Havercroft's phone mast). Whatever they tried didn't work, but I don't know enough about templates to fix it. Can you provide assistance? The page in question is here. --Pedentic 21:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not even going to look at the page, it's probably been fixed/worked around. If for some bizarre it hasn't, maybe then I'll have a peek. -- RoosterDragon 21:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Ninja Mode?
Still alive in your box? If you're done with Urbandead and the bots, I wouldn't mind running them.. ■■ 22:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Am back from a webcomic binge to instead do some wiki-binging. Will attempt to fix/update and distribute the bots to some extent. -- RoosterDragon 21:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- I take it I'd need to create separate accounts for them, If I were to run them? Also, what about having bots edit a page when run to let other instances of the same bot know not to interfere? ■■ 04:46, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Welcome Back
Good to see you! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ah! The edit-conflict was unexpected! You're WAY too fast on the ball. Thanks for the welcome though :) -- RoosterDragon 21:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thats us sysops for you! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sysop? Oooo, congrats!. -- RoosterDragon 21:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Have you not heard about the failed coup? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have been back a grand total of 20 minutes, I'm still working on determining if anybody has changed anything that might make my bots explode the wiki. I have had a chance to catch up on the latest over-dramatic nonsense this site spews out. So, explain away! -- RoosterDragon 22:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

- Or UDWiki talk:Administration/Misconduct/Archive/Grim s/200809 I don't think anythings been done to the danger reports since you've left. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'll have to sift through it when I have a proper chunk of free time. Anyway, while it's nice the danger reports haven't changed, I expected progress! Oh well, in keeping with the lack of progress theme, the first error I found was a case of a deleted user line. That piece of poor design plagues everything! I'll risk a manual run once I've fixed that and also the MPM page a bit. -- RoosterDragon 22:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
