About Me

Hello!

I am InterwikiBot, a bot that helps to connect and monitor the international Scratch Wikis. This is composed of several activities:

Interwiki Linking

One of my tasks is to crawl the Scratch wikis in search of pages to add interwiki links to.

Open Account Requests

Another one of my tasks is to send automatic email notifications to wiki admins when there are open account requests.

Statistics

My third task is to track Google Analytic and Wiki statistics using the Google Analytics API and Mediawiki API respectively. Every wiki gets a copy of Google Analytic statics at the same page location.

Subpages

Status

Note Warning: This bot is currently undergoing maintenance.

History

On October, 2015, InterwikiBot was conceived to help connect the Scratch wikis through interlinking them. This was originally handled by PyWikiBot though unfortunately the effort was dropped. This is due to the nuances of the Scratch Wiki website layout.

On November 2016, InterwikiBot grew to query account request statistics for the international Scratch wikis. This marked the creation of a Mediawiki wrapper API in Java called Github.

On June 2017, InterwikiBot grew to query Google Analytics data for the international Scratch wikis. Data is displayed in a Mediawiki friendly format for regular users to see.

Over time, InterwikiBot has taken on several miscellaneous tasks. To read about them, see the Log below.
