Not nice
I have every right to have my say. This isn't Glee Wiki, and therefore you deleting my comments is a act of vandalism. You don't see me deleting you comments. Please edit fairly here. I have been editing at Wikia in one form or another since September 2008. I have clout in the subject matter. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  17:55, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Bot Request
Hi. Sure, if you give me a list of what needs deleting I can run a bot to do it. Make sure the community agrees with the deletions first though :). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 04:52, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you gave me a list of categories not to delete, I could delete all the other categories. I'd have to look at how many you want deleted to tell you how long it would take, but it wouldn't take too long. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 23:48, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll get to this tonight when I get home, and let you know when it's done. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 00:41, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. I was just about to run the bot and thought I'd better check something. I originally thought you just wanted the category pages deleted, but I'm guessing you want the pages in the categories to be deleted to have the category removed from them as well? Let me know if this is what you want and I can get started. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 08:24, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Just letting you know that I've started running the bot, it might take a little while as I'm going through the categories alphabetically and only doing a couple of letters at a time, but shouldn't take too long. Let me know if there are any problems. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 23:42, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

The bot script has finished, so all categories but the ones you specified should have been deleted and removed from pages. See w:c:glee:Special:Categories to check. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:43, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

This was meant for me and my bot so you have to use some sense while reading it :)
Hi Kangaroopower. The bot I use to fix spelling errors and typos is a free program called AutoWikiBrowser. That Wikipedia page explains exactly what it is and how it works. To just use it for spelling corrections, here's what you need to do:


 * 1)  Download the program from here and unzip it. You don't need to install it, just unzip and double click the executable found in the folder.
 * 2)  Open up the Preferences window found under the Options menu, or just press Ctrl+P
 * 3) Click the Site tab, select "custom" from the Project drop down menu, and manually enter 39clues.wikia.com next to http:// ...then click OK
 * 4)  Under the File menu, select Log In/Profiles to open the Profiles window
 * 5)  Click the Add button and on the window that pops up, enter the Wikia username and password of the account to be used as the bot, then click OK
 * 6)  Back on the Profiles window, select the username from the list and click the Login button
 * 7)  On the Options tab in the work area (bottom half of screen), check the box next to Enable Regex TypoFix
 * 8)  A window will pop up asking "Load from English Wikipedia?" Click the Yes button
 * 9)  On the work area, at the far left, choose "Special Page" from the drop down menu next to Source:
 * 10)  Click the "Make list" button and on the window that pops up, choose "All Pages" from the drop down menu. A list of all the wiki's pages should now appear in the window below the Make list button.
 * 11)  Click the Start tab, and click the Start button

AWB will begin scanning each page for errors. Each time it finds a page with an error, the upper half of the screen will show the original version of the error on the left side and the correction that AWB is suggesting on the right side. If you agree with the correction(s), simply click the Save button, and AWB will make the correction and continue scanning. If you disagree with all the corrections AWB is suggesting for a certain page (happens rarely), click the Skip button.

If there are multiple corrections being made to a single page and you want to leave some (but not all) of the "errors" as they are, in the upper area you can double click on the line containing the correction that you do not want to make, which will tell AWB to cancel that correction, while still keeping other corrections on the page intact. Also, the lower right section of the screen is the edit area, where you can make any manual changes to pages.

Hope that helps. If you guys just want a one-time bot scan for spelling errors and don't want to bother with setting up AWB, leave me a message and I'll scan the wiki once with my AWB bot.

 * Yeah, All Pages just loads pages in the main namespace, so no User pages, Talk pages, etc. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk) 00:10, June 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * You'll need to change the user rights of the bot account. Just check the box next to bot and click the Save button, which will add Themicrovableburrito to the bot user group so that any edits made by it will not show up (by default) on recent changes.
