User:COPTR Bot

The COPTR Bot is a robot account used for importing and checking COPTR content. The source code used is here on GitHub.

Phase 1 - Upload

At first, COPTR Bot has been used to populate the Wiki based on an Excel spreadsheet that contained the manually normalised and de-duplicated content of the original source registries.

Phase 2 - Project

The next goal is to use the structured COPTR data to project summary tables, similar to the POWRR project Tool Grid.

Phase ? - Sentinel

The next phase should be to periodically scan pages and flag or fix known issues. These may include:

• Converting old-style H1-level pages down to H2.
• Updating changes to category names.
• Checking if the Description is just the same text as the Purpose and flagging the entries to be fixed (using a category as the flag).

And other ideas:

• Checking the page structure is as expected, and the infobox fields are filled.
• Checking links are valid.
• Extracting links to ensure they are in web archives.
• Adding inline references to web archive holdings.
