From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! == Yet another bot suggestion == Would it be feasible to automatically look at a wad's Soundtrack section, and then edit accordingly the ''and uses the music track " "'' part of the corresponding map's skeleton? There's certainly a fair few cases to take into account (e.g. if it starts with "MIDI version of <blah>" proper grammar would require a formulation like "and uses as music track a MIDI version of <blah>") and I'm sure there's gonna be several caveats discovered due to the lack of complete consistency in these sections. Also things like REKKR or BTSX may cause confusions due to having several identical map lumps. But since generally soundtrack information focuses on a wad's main page and forgets about the map pages, that could, if possible, cut down on tedious busy work to copy-paste information from one page to another. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] ([[User talk:Gez|talk]]) 05:42, 9 January 2022 (CST),. : Have pondered that a few times over the years, but "the lack of complete consistency" is exactly why I see this as unfeasible. Not just the variety of formatting styles but also the links (internal and to Wikipedia, both game titles and music artists/songs) that would need to be processed, make it an insurmountable task for me. And time-wise that doesn't even take my ballooning to-do list into account, both in covering the recent flood of new WADs and custom things lists for existing ones, as well as the DSDA demos tables still to be updated for many dozens of megawads (and then cleaning [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing#Broken links to doomedsda.us|remnant linking to old DSDA]]). I'm longing for the summer doldrums already. ;-) --[[User:Xymph|Xymph]] ([[User talk:Xymph|talk]]) 05:54, 9 January 2022 (CST) ::Fair enough. Alternative suggestion: have the map skeleton be something like <code><nowiki>and uses the [[Adding custom music|music]] track "[[Category:Map pages without soundtrack information]]".</nowiki></code> so that would give a handy way to check manually which map articles need to be updated. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] ([[User talk:Gez|talk]]) 06:59, 9 January 2022 (CST) ::: Good idea, added to templates for future skeletons. Updating existing articles will take some additional scripting and a very long bot run. Please create the category. --[[User:Xymph|Xymph]] ([[User talk:Xymph|talk]]) 08:01, 9 January 2022 (CST) ::: A few enhancements to [[User:XymphBot#pregreplGen.php|pregreplGen.php]] sufficed with several hours of running time. Now your category has 4500+ entries. Enjoy. ;-) --[[User:Xymph|Xymph]] ([[User talk:Xymph|talk]]) 16:31, 11 January 2022 (CST) Summary: All contributions to DoomWiki.org are considered to be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 International (see Doom Wiki:Copyrights for details).
