Anomie is still around, mostly to maintain AnomieBOT. But after the WMF proved that office politics are more important to them than seemingly anything else, and otherwise generally seem more concerned with their own image than substance, Anomie is not engaging in technical work on MediaWiki. |
Despite T360488 asking them not to, Toolforge admins have gone ahead and broken AnomieBOT's scripts. Keeping things running properly will likely require manual intervention until they fix that or give me a usable workaround. |
This user account is a bot operated by Anomie (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. The bot is approved and currently active – the relevant request for approval can be seen here. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
Live status for all AnomieBOT tasks is available at Toolforge. |
Before blocking this bot, please consider disabling the task in question instead (see #Emergency shutoff). If you want to block it anyway, the button to the left will do what you want. |
AnomieBOT is written in Perl, using a custom API class to access the MediaWiki Action API. It uses SQLite or MySQL for persistent data storage.
In addition to the standard "bot" mode which will only run approved tasks, individual tasks may also be run in a "test" mode that logs proposed edits to the local filesystem instead of actually editing Wikipedia or in an "RFBA trial" mode that will automatically stop after a certain number of edits.
Source code is available at User:AnomieBOT/source. The source may be reused under the same terms as Perl, which is currently available under the GPL and/or the Artistic License; the text of the files posted here on-wiki may also be reused per Wikipedia's licensing for text contributions.
