Forum:Bots and subpage transfers

I have a hell of a lot of subpages over at the SNN. I would like some help in running a bot through my account so that it automatically transfers all my subpages to each wiki I visit, redirects and all, along with adding what is currently on my userpage at the moment, welcoming self and all that malarkey.--The prefessional launchballer is The Duchy of Effenhauer Junior and is very resourceful. 09:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there! If you want help, you need to provide a link to the wiki you're talking about (assuming you're talking about a wiki of course; I'm not sure at this stage). To make sure you can get help from people who do indeed run bots (I'm not one of them), you should contact them on their talk page. Here are a few people who run bots:

What you want is apparently on the list of features to come out from the wwt (User:Wikia) soon (it's not a priority) that a lot of people (including myself) are waiting for. However, I know the User:Dantman uses exactly the thing you are looking for so I highly recommend talking to him. To be honest, I probably have it someone sitting in his fork, but I haven't checked.

 * See User:Dantman/Pywikipediabot/Dantman-UserClone-Bot.py, it's an old script but you should be able to modify it to work for yourself. Personally I'm actually planning to stop using the script for the most part. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 8, 2009 @ 05:15 (UTC)
 * So I've replaced the three uses of "Dantman" with "Launchballer". Any thing else I need to do? And where should I put it?--The prefessional launchballer is The Duchy of Effenhauer Junior and is very resourceful. 14:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You'll also need to change the name of the wiki.
 * It's a pywikipediabot script, you'll need to checkout pywikipedia. Or my fork, though viewvc for that is probably down and I'm moving to a git repo anyways. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 8, 2009 @ 17:35 (UTC)
 * "you'll need to checkout pywikipedia."How do I do that?--The prefessional launchballer is The Duchy of Effenhauer Junior and is very resourceful. 17:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Using the python wikipediabot. Though you may want to checkout http://github.com/dantman/pywikia rather than the official svn later. I'll be moving my wikia specific fork to github. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 8, 2009 @ 18:22 (UTC)


 * So, on the github or whatever it is, which script is it I need for the automatic transferation of my subpages?--The prefessional launchballer is The Duchy of Effenhauer Junior and is very resourceful. 18:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You'll need git to check it out. And just use the same script you had for the subpages, throw it into the directory you check the repo out into. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 8, 2009 @ 19:01 (UTC)
