Project grants/Pi bot/Reports

1 January 2021

This is a short report on Project grants/Pi bot as of 1 January 2021. The Raspberry Pi 4 was bought in October 2020, and Pi bot was migrated to it on 17 October. Since then it has made around 940k edits, most of which were on Wikidata (~880k), followed by Commons (~52k) and enwp (~1k). The full edit counts at the time of migration and this report are in the table below. While the previous Pi needed rebooting regularly, the new one has been working flawlessly.

The full list of tasks and their schedule is at meta:User:Pi bot. All scripts were upgraded to Python 3 when migrated to the new Pi, and are stored on bitbucket. Previously existing tasks (such as adding English labels to Wikidata based on Commons category names, and managing 'ship name' categories) are now running more regularly and reliably. New tasks have been implemented, including:

• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 14 - import short descriptions from enwp to Wikidata where no English description exists (now runs twice weekly)
• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 15 - Systematically correct Wikidata labels (mostly used to correct a systematic typo in lb labels for chemicals)
• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 16 - Import new Commons sitelinks from enwp (runs twice daily)
• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 12 - expanded to create new Wikidata items for 'Exterior of', 'Interior of', 'View of' and 'View from' Commons categories and link to them using the relevant properties

Two further tasks are in the proposal stage:

• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 17 - Copy labels for humans from other languages to English
• d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 18 - Import coordinates from Commons and Wikipedias
