User talk:Cswikisource-bot

Sometimes used by Czech Wikisource user Milda (in semi-manual mode) for interwiki changes.

Are you a bot?

I'm confused, are you a bot or are you not? By w:WP:DUCK you should be one, yet your edits are not marked as such, but are unpatrolled instead. If you could set the bot flag it would help others to focus on those changes that really do need patrolling. Cheers. Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 21:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is, as you can read on top of this page. :-) It is my bot sometimes used for interwiki changes, it means run only for specified page(s) with -confirm parameter instead of manually editing. It do nothing else outside my home cs.wikisource. If you think its occasional edits need bot flag or should be marked as autopatrolled any way, set it, it is your decision, I don't care about it. Thanks. --Milda (talk) 08:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean "set it". Surely it's your process, so it's up to you to ensure flags are set appropriately? Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 09:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Linking of subpages of works, why?

I am wondering why we are linking subpages like Journey into the Interior of the Earth/Chapter XII‎. Surely the works are cross-linked at the top level and that should be sufficient? To me getting linking of subpages becomes superfluous where the chapters link 1 to 1. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Without interwiki linking of subpages you couldn't use parallel lang2lang comparison (?match=XX function) like this. Interwikis on subpages are common, see Homer's Iliad, Bocacccio's Decameron, Dante's Divine Comedy, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Hugo's Les Misérables etc. As you can see, other Wikisources use them too and English Wikisource have linked subpages also before my contributions. Superfluous for you doesn't mean superfluous for all users and readers. --Milda (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

See also Talk:Journey into the Interior of the Earth#Info about interwiki, this book is the case when chapter number N in some language matches chapter N+2, not N in another language. --Milda (talk) 22:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
