== Crazy EMRP idea ==
== User boxes? ==


I'm sure you've been asked something along these lines before, but what are the odds you could create a bot that could analyze external military reports and update danger reports accordingly? So if say, Johnny posts a EMRP to be filed for Yagoton, and the bot sees the words "The Whatmore Building", it could use that section of the report (bounded by the ellipsis's on both sides) to update the building's Danger Report?--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 23:21, 28 August 2009 (BST)
Hey, how do you make user boxes? --[[User:Suburb 22 Zombies|Suburb 22 Zombies]] 03:37, 17 April 2011 (BST)
:I had been working on just such functionality a good while back, but then a bunch of users started recording manually (and they still are) so I focused on some other stuff instead. Guess I should probably think about finishing that off. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:46, 28 August 2009 (BST)
::That "bunch of users" is, for the most part, [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] and myself =P all considered, a bot would be a real time saver, and would be less mistake prone.
::Also, a bit more complicated, would it be possible to program a bot that can use the "serious collateral damage", "infrastructure intact", "only one building with power". etc. blurbs to infer status reports (on the multitude of 'unknown' buildings)?--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 23:54, 28 August 2009 (BST)
:::Is there enough information for that? I don't think you'd have enough to nail down a specific status for these buildings with any degree of certainty. Unlike named buildings which get a general status indicator and a horde (or lack thereof) report. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 00:22, 29 August 2009 (BST)
::::My idea was for something that could just ball-park guess unknown staus reports off of the military.It would use the extreme infrastructure and power reports (and zombie counts) to make a logical guess at what the unknown, really-out-of-date reports were (i.e. EMRP states the suburb is "wrecked" and without power; therefore St. Phony Hospital, which has an unknown status and hasn't been updated in well over a month, is likely ruined). If this were to work, it would just replace reports marked 'unknown', since such a system would be a ''little'' too inaccurate to replace real reports. The way I see it, inferred reports, while far from ideal, would be better than a wall of unknowns. Am I making any sense?--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 01:10, 29 August 2009 (BST)
:::::I guess you could get away with it for extremes. You'd need blanket ruined/intact though, otherwise you wouldn't have enough information about individual buildings. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 01:23, 29 August 2009 (BST)
::::::Yeah, I'll admit the idea's a bit of a stretch. All the same, the more extreme reports aren't particularily uncommon.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 01:30, 29 August 2009 (BST)
:::::::Well, I'll see what I can come up with. Gotta get it working before we can consider having it guess at stuff, after all :P. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 01:36, 29 August 2009 (BST)


Ok, just ran the thing on the backlog of reports. A good thing too, it seems the manual updating suddenly became much more patchy. Talk about timing. Anyway, I noticed a few minor errors I was able to patch on the fly. If you notice anything odd over the next few days and updates please shout. See the bot's log for a comprehensive list of changes.
== Template:Mall Logo ==


One thing I spotted was that when logging reports, the bot posts a timestamp sans the timezone. It's actually always done this. Should I add the timestamp back in? I'd probably have to fix a lot of logs retroactively but guessing the timezone won't be a problem at least. On the bot's log I've already noticed the red links. The bot would update the disambiguated page but didn't record that name properly. I've fixed it so that fix should show up in the next record.
Does it need to be case sensitive? Lots of people tend to make the first letter upper-case. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 00:30, 26 April 2011 (BST)
:I made a change so that whichever case is used during the update, it is converted to lower case for the purpose of {{tl|Mall Logo}}. See [[User:DangerReport/Bale Mall]] and [[Bale Mall]]. The former has upper case Ruined, yet the Bal Mall logo is the correct logo (ruined). ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>00:57, 26 April 2011</sub>
::Gotcha. So it converts all of the text to be lowercase. Nice. :D --{{User:Akule/sig}} 01:06, 26 April 2011 (BST)
:::Yeah it converts the result of {{tl|DRstatus}} to lower case. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>01:16, 26 April 2011</sub>


Also, I'm still working on the "horde building" functionality. That's when you get a report "maybe 20 zombies outside the Specific Building" which happens so rarely I didn't worry much about it. That and it requires a lot of extra code because it can be any building whereas the general building reports are limited to strategic buildings. I ''did'' make it so that if this building is also reported on again in general status, the reports would be combined, but this failed :P
Oh god. This makes things ''worse''! {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:The wiki update, I take it? --{{User:Akule/sig}} 22:47, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::Accepting uppercase input. Basically breaks a dozen other templates if it's used. But it's hardly world-endingly bad. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:50, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:::It makes for some unusual problems, as people can make variant group names just by altering case. Such as [[The dead]] or [[the dead]] or [[tHe Dead]] or [[the DEad]] (the actual group is [[The Dead]] or [[the Dead]]). --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:01, 2 June 2011 (BST)


All that said, things look pretty good. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:35, 3 September 2009 (BST)
Nonono. I mean accepting "Ruined" v "ruined" in the template. Long story short, probably all the templates in [[:Category:DangerReport Formatting Templates|this category]] would also need this fix which honestly is more effort for maintenance than users just getting it right.
:Well, so far, so good. From my experience the "horde building" reports are for the most part limited to hospitals and police departments, and generally say "a dozen" or "twenty". Considering that a lot of these buldings share the same name, I could see how it could become a problem.
:Not sure if you noticed this or if it would even help, but I noticed specific buildings appear to have specific messages (A is reported "being held" when safe, B "power's on"). I might be wrong, but if this is the case it could come in handy.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 02:18, 5 September 2009 (BST)
The reason I edit more recently is because [[User:Rat of Steel|Rat of Steel]] keeps editing a lot of bot-doable edits. And he make mistakes more than once, including a deletion of important suburb data. Despite the fact that I warned him twice about leaving those tiresome edits to our EMR bot and focusing on quality mistake-free edits, he ignores me and continues to add more of them, making mistakes along the way. I even suspect he is another bot himself, because his edit pattern is very repetitive, and he never replies back any comments and criticisms. So, to prevent more damage, I take the matter in my own hands and edit those things before he does.


Anyway, the new bot feature is good. So it lessen my and Red Hawk One's works updating those buildings manually. Things that can be automated furthermore are blanket reports like '''"infrastructure looks intact"''' and '''"the whole suburb is wrecked."''' Even '''"only Specific Building with power"''' can still be automated (for the said building, but not anywhere else.) The same thing can be done for '''"being held"''', '''"lights are on."''' Even just the word '''"definitely..."''' can be added as ruined (because it always follows by '''"...fallen."''') Still, many fuzzy details need human ingenuity to deal with.  
I didn't mean anything regarding the wiki update. Names have always been case sensitive as I recall, so that's nothing new. (The automatic redirect regardless of the first letters case was also there before) {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:06, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:I pointed the problem out to people, so Vapor formatted the base template to [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Template%3ABuildingStatus&action=historysubmit&diff=1881400&oldid=1527038 automatically lowercase the status]. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:21, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::Ok let me step back.


For the horde building, as far as I can remember, all of them are important strategic buildings. So, no need to worry about unimportant buildings that have no danger reports (you've removed them all, right?) And even if such a case comes up, can't you just order the bot to skip it? And the duplicate names aren't going to be a problem. Because the name of the suburb is always right there at the beginning of the report. It won't be too hard to add it to make a specific report on said suburb's building.
::Yes, I realise that the BuildingStatus & Mall Logo templates now accept uppercase input. I am saying this is a ''bad'' thing.


And, this is a ''very'' minor detail, but malls don't use '''"ruined"''' in their danger reports, but the bot reports fallen mall that way. I do understand that '''"in zombie hands"''' needs visual confirmation of the zombie number inside. And people sometimes add wrong tags as well. So, if it's too much of a bother, you don't need to fix it. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 11:20, 5 September 2009 (BST)
::It breaks all those other templates which use the status variable, but didn't get changed. Plus since the uppercase input now "works" on the report template, people use it without realising it causes other breakages.


'''P.S.''' About the missing timezone stamps, I think of the same way. It's nice to have them fixed. But only the most fuzzy people (like us) will care. If it's too much hard work for you, then leave it alone. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 12:17, 5 September 2009 (BST)
::I'm saying it's less effort for user to just correct it if they do it wrong (which they'd notice with a broken image link) then to apply the lowercase logic on all templates that access the status in some way.


:All good feedback chaps.
::Take a gander at [[Special:Wantedtemplates]], you'll notice several templates with an uppercase status being requested, and they don't exist so there'll be derped results somewhere. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:30, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:::Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize it caused other breakages. Can we go through the rest of the templates to fix them to make them as derp proof as possible? I only ask because I imagine that the people who will not care about the casing will make more work for those of us who do care in the long run. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::::Well... if it really matters in the long run... then yeah. I'll get around to it. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:52, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:::::Whenever you can is fine. I had just originally brought it up as various users (mainly new ones) kept breaking the various status templates when [[The Dead 2.0]] swept over the land. I didn't want to end up changing them, as I don't have a strong understanding of wikicode. Thank you in advance. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)


:I'll look into adding smarter treatment of certain strings later, for now I just want to ensure it's doing the basic idea correctly. So:
== EMRs ==
:Malls using "ruined", I'll adjust that to ransacked, that was just an oversight on my part. As far as using ruined v in zombie hands. It's a debatable choice. I prefer ruined since that's all the military can be sure of. Though I'm willing to change it.


:Also, to be clear on the terminology I'm using on the fly here, here's an example report:
So you're back. I thought you'd be gone forever.


:<code>25.96 MHz: "... reporting from '''Suburb''', I've got about forty active ... a horde of twenty or so outside '''the Horde Building''' ... lights are on across the suburb ... infrastructure looks intact too ... some survivor activity in '''Strategic Building One''' ... '''Strategic Building Two''' has definitely fallen ..." (10 hours and 55 minutes ago)</code>
I must admit, I'm quite ashamed of it myself. You ''did'' gave me the EMR Bot before leaving, but I never got the chance to use it, test it, or even learn it for that matter. I've been thinking ''"I must do it, for The Rooster is gone and no one else can"'' for months, but never bothered to run it even once, until the page clogged up and I had to move some old EMRs elsewhere.


:Strategic Buildings are Forts, Malls and NTs (just something I made up with when I created the map) but I later realized the military only report on these locations, as far as I can tell, for the last two sections of the report. The "Horde" building is just the building the military notices has a lot of zombies outside. There's rarely enough for them to say anything other than "a few small groups" or whatever. Strategic buildings are limited to forts, malls and NTs which are easy to deal with. The horde building can be literally any building in the suburb however. Including "blah, horde, blah - outside a factory" which is of limited use :P. This is more difficult to deal with as I need to alter the in-game name to the wiki version, and possibly disambiguate by suburb and then maybe even co-ords for a few rare buildings. That and the horde building might also appear later in the same report as a strategic building. If it's a generic building (like a factory), but that building is the only one of its type in the suburb, a report could still be sought out. So getting comprehensive and correct reports for horde buildings could take a little while, and since they're so rare I didn't make it a priority.
You can find those EMRs, archived from October 29th to November 30th, at my [[User:Kittithaj/Sandbox#EMRP:_Reports_to_Process|Sandbox]] page. Thank you for returning and working with them. And sorry I couldn't/didn't do something with them. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:I'm still trying to think of a good method of identifying the cut-off transmissions and filling in the blanks. The bot just ignores them if it can't match an entire statement, so you guys can do those reports using your superior human ability to extrapolate if you like.
:Ah no worries, if nothing else you'd kept an immaculate log that would've done the job just fine anyway. I checked your backup and I did process all of those reports so they're safe to nuke. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:Not sure about the extreme conditions yet though. Might wait until the extraneous reports are purged. Otherwise it could entail like 50 read/write requests which is added server load, but mostly damned boring to sit through when I'm processing them.
I posted a question on the [[Talk:EMRP:_Reports_to_Process]] talk page but I'm hoping that you could answer the question since you're controlling the bot. Should all of the "Reports to Process Later" entries be moved to the "Reports to Process" heading? And should the lone report from Feb 28 then be wiped?--[[User:Uroguy|Uroguy]]<sup>[[Zookeepers|TMZ]]</sup> 03:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:Finally, the timestamps, I'll fix the bot so it logs new reports with timezones. It would be a bit much to fix all the old ones for me though. (But not for another bot, of course :P) {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 18:36, 5 September 2009 (BST)
:I answered the talk page. I'll be messing around with the headers a bit until I catch up. No need to worry, just stick everything under "Later" for now. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)
::Funny, I could have sworn the "Horde Building" was only either a hospital or police department. A bit off topic here, but any chance you could have a bot check [[:Category:Confirmed Groups]] against [http://www.urbandead.com/stats.html the stats page]?

EMRs

So you're back. I thought you'd be gone forever.

I must admit, I'm quite ashamed of it myself. You did gave me the EMR Bot before leaving, but I never got the chance to use it, test it, or even learn it for that matter. I've been thinking "I must do it, for The Rooster is gone and no one else can" for months, but never bothered to run it even once, until the page clogged up and I had to move some old EMRs elsewhere.

You can find those EMRs, archived from October 29th to November 30th, at my Sandbox page. Thank you for returning and working with them. And sorry I couldn't/didn't do something with them. -- Kittithaj 02:13, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Ah no worries, if nothing else you'd kept an immaculate log that would've done the job just fine anyway. I checked your backup and I did process all of those reports so they're safe to nuke. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I posted a question on the Talk:EMRP:_Reports_to_Process talk page but I'm hoping that you could answer the question since you're controlling the bot. Should all of the "Reports to Process Later" entries be moved to the "Reports to Process" heading? And should the lone report from Feb 28 then be wiped?--UroguyTMZ 03:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I answered the talk page. I'll be messing around with the headers a bit until I catch up. No need to worry, just stick everything under "Later" for now. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)
Thanks I appreciate the explanation. --UroguyTMZ 07:23, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Unused Image

File:1001 Days in Urban Dead.gif which you uploaded is currently unused and is subject to deletion if it is older than two weeks. If you wish to ensure that it remains on this wiki then you will need to ensure that it is included in at least one page on this wiki..--A helpful bot 16:45, 14 June 2011 (BST)

Ironically, including the image is stupid since the wiki thumbnailer breaks horribly. *shrug* -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 12:23, 16 June 2011 (BST)

How Appropriate

You're like a zombie, you know that? You disappear, then for strange reasons you rise and shamble and get active again. I would call it curious were it not for your involvement over the years in a browser-based zombie apocalypse game... ...

It's good to see you again, Rooster. ;) --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 20:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :) Although, thinking about it, I didn't play the game much... -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 21:18, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

EMR RtP shutdown

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that because the EMRBot hasn't been run in over two years, I'm shutting down EMRP: Reports to Process. New users still sometimes post EMRs there expecting them to be processed, so I've posted a sign at the top letting them know it's not active. If the Bot returns at some point, feel free to remove the sign and restart RtP. Thanks! Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 13:59, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Thankyou for this.
