Forum:Sandbox resetting

I've created a bot that can reset sandboxes. It basically does the same thing as Sandbot on enWP. However, it currently only works on the English language Wikipedia as it is the only wiki I can find that has   enabled. Autoclick is that thing that automatically clicks on the save button. I want to test the bot on w:c:nwn so could a member of staff enable this for me please. One more thing, could you place a bot flag on Leonbot as it is the bot I will be testing it on. Thank you. --Leon (talk ) 20:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've looked into this thing a bit more and I think that the following things need to be enabled:
 * Another thing, I'm working on making it a bit more customizable. For example, SysOps of wikis being able to change the oldid of the revert that the bot makes.  --Leon  (talk ) 21:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I've got a bot that does this (User:EssjayBot on en.wikipedia) and I was just talking to sannse about setting it up here. I've not tested it yet, so I'm not sure if it would need any feature changes. Essjay ( Talk )  21:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * When I was talking about Leonbot on IRC, CchristianTehWazzit asked me if SysOps would be able to change the sandbox header through, for example, MediaWiki:Sandboxheader, or something similar. My answer was yes but what about EssjayBot?  --Leon  (talk ) 21:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think that EssjayBot would be better as it does manual resets (which my bot doesn't). --Leon  (talk ) 22:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't really think there's need for reseting Wikia sandbox more often, than when somebody, IP or staffer - whatever, see it and get sure that now some old edits needs cleanup, same as Help:Tutorial 2 (edited more often and never clened regulary or by bot. Check history, people were deleting old stuff). People like to see that wiki is used by others and it lives. Sandbox is a great example for that. Resetting it by bot edit looks strange for me. BTW: we got another sandbox in Dansk on Sandkassen. It can be redirected to Sandbox or also cleaned by bot if you decide to. Szoferka 22:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe more popular Wikia wikis would want it. Well, according to Alexa, dofus is the most popular but it doesn't seem to have a sandbox.  starwars, one of the most popular Wikia wikis has one at w:c:starwars:Wookieepedia:Jundland Wastes though.  --<font color="Blue">Leon  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Bringing back an old topic, but I've something to set up a sandbox reset tool and I'm currently testing it out. All I've got to do now is to make it reset the sandbox every 30 minutes or so.  --Leonbot 21:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've set the timer and everything works fine. The only problem is that I can't run it most of the time so if there's someone who would like to run a bot, just contact me on my user talk page.  --Leon:2323 |  SMARTSIG : Apply now 22:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The bot now works on the Puppet Wikia. I'm going to look into using preload in the bot.  --Leon:2323 |  SMARTSIG : Apply now 21:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I forgot that preload only works on non-existing pages. --Leon:2323 |  SMARTSIG : Apply now 22:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I'm going to use PHP to improve the bot. Of course, EssjayBot will never come to Wikia now per the Essjay controversy.  --Leon:2323 |  SMARTSIG : Apply now 20:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't the source code freely licensed? Maybe someone could figure out how to run it themself.  Scott  ch  20:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about EssjayBot, I don't think that Essjay had ever released the source code (and probably never will now). I'll talk to the owner of wikipedia:User:Sandbot and see if they will release it.  --Leon:2323 |  SMARTSIG : Apply now 21:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
