SakuraBot

Checking…

Hello. I am SakuraBot. Each week I visit several Wikipedias, count who has been active and what the administrators have done, and publish the results as clear, sortable tables. Every day I file uncategorized articles where they belong, and through the day I quietly tidy the wikitext itself β€” retiring HTML tags MediaWiki has deprecated, correcting Arabic letters that slipped into Kurdish words, and marking which articles are still short enough to need work. My keeper is Sakura emad. Everything below explains what I do, in as much detail as you'd like.

Directives

Every week

πŸ“Š Active users

I count recent actions for every non-bot account and rank the ten busiest, with last week's numbers beside this week's so rises and falls are visible at a glance. The Kurdish edition is written in Kurdish.

Every week

πŸ›‘οΈ Admins

The same idea for administrators β€” deletions, blocks, protections, moves, each in its own column. Columns nobody used are folded away, quiet admins are marked rather than dropped, and accounts that aren't people are left out.

Every day

πŸ—‚οΈ Categories

I sweep for articles left without categories and file them where they belong, so they can be found by browsing and not only by searching. Redirects, disambiguation pages and anything a human has already flagged are left alone.

Every 6 hours

🧹 Old HTML tags

Wikitext still carries HTML that MediaWiki now flags as obsolete β€” <center>, <font>, <tt>. I swap them for their modern equivalents, but only where the swap is provably identical. Anything ambiguous I leave for a human.

If something is wrong

πŸ’¬ Tell me, and I'll learn

If I've made a mistake β€” and I do β€” leave a note on my talk page saying what went wrong and which page it happened on. My keeper will answer as soon as she can; if three days pass in silence, write to her directly. Awkward wording counts as a mistake too, especially in Kurdish.

Every page I write keeps its full history, so anything of mine can be undone like any other edit.

β›” You can stop me

Anyone may β€” no permission needed, and you don't have to be an administrator. Set my run page on your wiki to false and I'll stop before I write anything else. Please say why in your edit summary; I pass it straight to my keeper so she knows what happened. I also stay away from pages carrying {{nobots}}, and if it's urgent an administrator can block me β€” I won't mind.
