14:20 🔗 SketchCow Huge amount of editing I see
14:22 🔗 ATrescue_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
14:25 🔗 jut It's mostly just the bot
14:27 🔗 ATrescue has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:36 🔗 SketchCow Well, that's people editing, being reflected by the bot.
14:36 🔗 SketchCow What does the bot do?
14:39 🔗 JAA The bot takes a list of URLs and generates a table of the relevant ArchiveBot jobs.
14:39 🔗 SketchCow Neat
14:40 🔗 SketchCow I'm not seeing anything absorbing all our time, which is good
14:47 🔗 Sanqui the bot is a good thing although is there a manual for it anywhere
14:52 🔗 marked1 kiska: do you want testing jobs be run on your tracker?
14:56 🔗 JAA Sanqui: Nope. You need to create two pages, ArchiveBot/* and ArchiveBot/*/list. In the simplest case, the former would be something like https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveBot/TEMPLATE&action=edit&oldid=34877 and the latter would simply contain lines of URLs. There's also support for sections as you can see for example on many of the election-related pages.
15:02 🔗 Sanqui ty! i'll have to try it sometime
15:13 🔗 JAA It's not perfect, mainly due to deficiencies in the viewer, which it gets the data from. For example, URLs including an @ will always stay as "not saved yet" because the viewer ignores such files.
15:35 🔗 Stiletto has quit IRC ()
15:49 🔗 Stiletto has joined #archiveteam-bs
16:06 🔗 jut Can we whitelist the bot so that the spam doesn't happen?
16:06 🔗 JAA It's already marked as a bot, but purplebot doesn't filter for that.
16:07 🔗 JAA I actually like seeing the bot edits to check what's still missing etc.
16:09 🔗 marked1 another option is purplebot could msg a project's channel when listed in the wiki page that was edited
16:11 🔗 PurpleSym marked1: I’m not sure parsing wiki markup is a good idea. If purplebot gets too spammy I can exclude/redirect bot edits.
16:11 🔗 PurpleSym But current concensus seems to be: Show bot edits?
16:12 🔗 killsushi has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
16:21 🔗 JAA All proper IRC clients should allow filtering anyway. So you could filter out "* edited by HadeanEon *" from purplebot, for example.
16:22 🔗 deevious has quit IRC (Quit: deevious)
16:22 🔗 JAA (As in, people who don't want to see those edits could do that.)
16:23 🔗 JAA And yes, I agree that parsing is not a good idea. It's also nice to see all wiki edits in one place.
16:23 🔗 PurpleSym A separate channel for all edits would be an option too, but I think that idea was rejected a while ago by SketchCow.
16:30 🔗 marked1 my view is when a certain threshold of automated messages is crossed, it can interfere with human-to-human communication. S:N ratio like. I am assuming majority of humans present don't look up how to filter.
16:32 🔗 JAA Does it actually interfere though?
16:38 🔗 Fusl there are exactly three /ignore list entries on my client: a highlight spammer on the mozilla network, ducttape from freenode#opennic and purplebot, not because i don't want to see the messages but they trigger a hotlist event which i configured for some specific archiveteam channels. i'm actually all in for moving the bot to its own channel
16:39 🔗 CatButts has left Here is my journey's end, here is my butt.
16:40 🔗 schbirid +1
16:43 🔗 PurpleSym #archiveteam-wiki ?
16:45 🔗 Fusl #archiveteam-bot so that we can also have nodeping notifications on there?
16:46 🔗 Fusl not actually -bot though, people might confuse that with #archivebot
16:46 🔗 JAA Yeah, was going to say that. Guaranteed confusion.
16:46 🔗 JAA -wiki sounds good.
16:46 🔗 Fusl yeah
16:47 🔗 PurpleSym nodeping?
16:47 🔗 Fusl nodeping http://xor.meo.ws/5eef9b32/3b68/4eb8/8943/df1e75c56c9a.png
16:48 🔗 PurpleSym Maybe #archiveteam-notify, #archiveteam-status ?
16:49 🔗 Fusl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
16:51 🔗 kneelocke has joined #archiveteam-bs
16:51 🔗 kneelocke @search
16:52 🔗 kneelocke has left
16:53 🔗 VoynichCr #archiveteam-rc (recent changes)
16:55 🔗 astrid i think the wikibot traffic is small enough to not be a bother
16:55 🔗 astrid also we should all be watching what happens on the wiki
16:58 🔗 Fusl i don't care in the end. i have the bot muted and the update stream itself broken out onto one of my two archiveteam monitoring screens
17:05 🔗 schbirid it's super annoying
17:05 🔗 schbirid and i turned blind to it quickly
17:16 🔗 SketchCow Edits here are fine.
17:16 🔗 SketchCow But yeah, maybe knock out the bot edits
17:25 🔗 Kaz Would like to add that if we're removing bot edits, please match on something that can't be abused
17:26 🔗 Kaz i.e we don't want someone to be able to start wiping pages and us not be aware of it due to them putting 'edited by HadeanEon (+183, BOT - Updating page:' in their edit notes
17:28 🔗 Oddly has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
17:32 🔗 astrid oo, good point
17:46 🔗 Zerote has joined #archiveteam-bs
17:50 🔗 t3 I like PurpleSym's #archiveteam-wiki name.
18:00 🔗 Sanqui that's way too obscure
18:01 🔗 Fusl #archiveteam.org? :D
18:04 🔗 Sanqui sorry i mean, the abuse potential is too obscure
18:06 🔗 JAA The filter should just use the bot flag on the wiki.
18:07 🔗 Kaz if that's a thing, sounds good
18:08 🔗 JAA It most certainly is. Note that https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges doesn't show the bot edits, you need to explicitly "Show bots".
18:08 🔗 Kaz as long as we have some sort of centralised control over it (and you can't just set the bot flag on your own account)
18:08 🔗 JAA You can't, a wiki admin (i.e. Jason) has to set it.
18:09 🔗 Kaz perfect

18:32 🔗 purplebot has joined #archiveteam-bs
18:33 🔗 PurpleSym I will hide bot edits for now.
18:35 🔗 jut Can you forward the bot edits to #archiveteam-wiki ?
18:36 🔗 Odd0002_ has joined #archiveteam-bs
18:37 🔗 PurpleSym I’ll see what I can do, not tonight though.
18:37 🔗 t3 Sounds good.
18:39 🔗 t3 I propose that the vulgar word from the URLTeam description on the main wiki page https://www.archiveteam.org/ be removed.
18:39 🔗 t3 Let me know if anyone has any thoughts.
18:39 🔗 Kaz I disagree
18:40 🔗 Kaz not to mention that's not actually the only use of the word (fuck, if anyone's wondering) on that page
18:41 🔗 jut there is also shit
18:41 🔗 Odd0002 has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
18:41 🔗 Odd0002_ is now known as Odd0002
18:41 🔗 jut Audit 2014: It's time to verify our shit
18:42 🔗 Kaz also.. y'know.. https://www.archiveteam.org/images/e/e6/Archiveteam.jpg
18:43 🔗 ealgase I haven't seen much on archiveteam about cyberlockers, which are probably somewhat important to archive
18:43 🔗 ealgase (a lot of content on them is pirated, but there's also quite a lot of stuff like homebrew software, fan games, mods, etc)
18:44 🔗 Kaz the problem is once you classify it as anything other than 'quite a lot of stuff' you realise how hard it'd be to actually grab useful stuff vs the amount of other assorted crap that's on there
18:46 🔗 ealgase that's true, maybe only grab certain filetypes? (skip any videos)

19:24 🔗 astrid t3: i lean to keeping the text "url shorteners were a fucking awful idea" because, face it, they kinda are
19:27 🔗 ATrescue astrid: I'm fine with the swear word, but I occasionally use URL shorteners with custom URL as shortcut to access websites faster when not in browsing history. But yes, URL shorteners can break alot.
19:27 🔗 astrid they're fine for ephemeral use, the problem is when they wind up being the url of record for something
19:28 🔗 astrid which happens ALL THE TIME
19:29 🔗 marked1 I'm not seeing the difference between that vs "url shorteners were an awful[or terrible] idea". just seems like a distraction without additional meaning. The other 2 places with curse words are not removable without changing meaning, but one will scroll off with time. URLteam is a perma-project
19:30 🔗 astrid it's for emphasis
19:30 🔗 astrid what's the issue
19:31 🔗 astrid do you have an articulable objection or is it a thing that makes you feel uncomfortable
19:33 🔗 astrid (not trying to invalidate feelings; i'd like an honest assessment of what's objectionable about it. as a rather foulmouthed person there is probably something i'm missing.)
19:34 🔗 marked1 it makes me feel uncomfortable, but combined with unclear benefit. and I get that different people have different tolerances especially across cultures.
19:35 🔗 astrid mm
19:35 🔗 marked1 the other places, one is a quote, so wouldn't want to change the quote and it reads well.
19:41 🔗 marked1 it's not something important to me to discuss, but if you wanted to understand the other side. some people grew up where curse words were only used for arguments and fights. so it's a trigger for adrenaline.
19:42 🔗 astrid ahh

21:20 🔗 ealgase Is there any way to submit a page to Wayback via an API? The closest I can get is cURLing https://web.archive.org/save/URL but that's not a great solution
21:35 🔗 Kaz isn't it? for a one-off page save that's a pretty good solution
