The maintenance bot automatically adds missing details to pages. To activate it, simply create a page with an SMWObject and Wikipedia parameter.

Object class

All Wikispooks pages must have an SMWObject. If the pages describes a person, the apporpriate object to use is:

{{Person}}

For the entire list, see SMWObject.

Wikipedia parameter

MaintenanceBot cannot improve pages, unless they also have a |Wikipedia parameter (which may be abbreviated to "|WP").

Foreign Wikipediae

The Wikispooks working language is English, and almost all the Wikipedia links are to en.wikipedia.org. Obscure foreigners may have no English Wikipedia page, but have a page in their native language. In this case, choosing a foreign Wikipedia page (for example de.wikipedia.org) is acceptable.

Tagged URLs

Sometimes, Wikipedia has no page, but does have a (sub-)section. In this case, a hashtagged URL should be used ("...wiki/page#section") but maintenance bot cannot not use this for scraping.

Further ideas

For further ideas, see the discussion page.
