Opt-out templated appended

This message should include the opt-out template. Also, that template should be invisible since we're contacting the bot's operator.

cool. but maybe there should be a newline before the template. Blevintron (talk) 14:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bot Source Code

Note that if I go into the previous history of that page, I can easily view the source code. ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 15:16, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. I'm not trying to hide the code. I just don't want to maintain a copy on wikipedia anymore.Blevintron (talk) 15:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-==A new bot based on what you already have==
-Hi, As I said on WP:VP I think the bot you wrote is a pretty nice idea - indeed a necessity. A discussion came about that resulted in [[Wikipedia_talk:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Non_RS_website_bot|a WP:RSN thread]]. I think you can probably modify your code without much effort to make a new bot later which just looks up a website on a "no-no list" and leaves a similar message, for a user or on a project page etc.
-Please think about it and if you can find the time to do it, your help will be appreciated. [[User:History2007|History2007]] ([[User talk:History2007|talk]]) 11:13, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
-: I might be interested in helping in the future, but I have my hands full with my current bot at the moment.  In the mean time, I released the code, open source, so another coder might be willing to adapt it.  PS- regarding code quality: thanks, I'm flattered.

-::What is the link to the "final" version of your code now? I will see if I can touch it up to do this task. Thanks. [[User:History2007|History2007]] ([[User talk:History2007|talk]]) 06:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
-:::There is no 'final version' because the code is still under development in response to the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/BlevintronBot |the BRFA discussion]].  Among the changes, they've asked that I don't upload the code to wikipedia.  An [[User:BlevintronBot/Bot/SourceCode | old copy is here]], but I haven't uploaded a more recent version.

-::::{{talk page stalker}} You can upload the complete code, preferably not across too many pages, just don't do it after every compile. A few botops keep their code available, like [[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]]. —&nbsp;<small>&nbsp;[[user:Hellknowz|<font color="#B00">HELL</font>KNOWZ]]&nbsp;&nbsp;▎[[User talk:Hellknowz|TALK]]</small> 22:06, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
-::::: Cool.  The latest has been updated to [[User:BlevintronBot/Bot/SourceCode | bot userspace]].  I changed the license to CC-BY-SA (just like wikipedia).  This is reflected in [[User:BlevintronBot/Bot/SourceCode/LICENSE.txt | src/LICENSE.txt]], but I forgot to update the comment at the top of each source file (oops).  Also, I'll try to reduce that down to one page for all source code before the next upload.
-::::: So History2007, go forth and make good bots :) [[User:Blevintron|Blevintron]] ([[User talk:Blevintron#top|talk]]) 23:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
-== Better handling of XML entities... ==
-I bet this broke a lot of code.  Can you hear me now?
