Line 4:
:Oh, I just assumed this was the "proper" way to omit a task. Use the omit template, but include a brief explanation of why the task isn't suited to the language -- I think this gives nearly as much useful information about the language as a "solved" task. Not that I have any say in the matter, but I recommend that the ImplSearchBot gives "omit" priority over "header", such that if both are present, the language is counted as omitted. --[[User:DanBron|DanBron]] 14:06, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah I don't think we really have solid directions on how to use the omit from template yet. The whole ImplSearchBot idea is kind of in flux right now. Maybe once we decide how (or if) we want ImplSearchBot to work we can nail down how the templates should work. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
::: The MultiCategorySearch extension is The Way To Go right now. There are still a bunch of mundane tasks that a bot could automate, though. Like creating Reports: pages for each language, or automatically creating category pages when languages show up. I had the idea Sunday night of having one bot do ''all'' of those things, and have its workload tuned by way of reading its instructions from a protected wiki content page.
::: The Reports: pages are already tunable in behavior by modifying the arguments for the MCS transclusions. Fix it however it needs to be fixed. The RCBF, RCSNUSP et al pages look like they're going to need a reorganization, though; subcategories don't count as being ''in'' a category. That's a limitation of the MW database schema, would incur extra DB processing cost to work around, and opens a can of worms regarding recursive diving into categories. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:24, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
