5221:) global bots can only run on this wiki for the purpose of fixing double-redirects. I believe that is outdated, because it links to a discussion from 2008 and Meta policies have changed global bots in 2021 to allow running any task that is approved. I think this requires a change on this wiki as well, as otherwise it can be rather confusing. I propose allowing global bots to run here for any approved task, especially since en.wikipedia will be notified when anyone submits a global bot request. After all, this wiki can still instruct any bot not to run here, if required. If not, I recommend adding this wiki to the opt-out set so that global bots are completely disabled (rather than enabled for just one purpose). 2139:. That seems reasonable to me. It doesn't prohibit any manual creation (and, BM, can we just stop with this argument that you alone make that "semi-automated editing tools" extends to include things like Microsoft Word or a boilerplate stored in notepad?), but if you go really fast and hard despite urges to slow down -- and especially if you make mistakes -- you may be asked to go through the bot authorization process. The problem is we seem to have a handful of "this 100% applies to everyone making more than a couple articles" folks on the front line, so it would help to have some additional clarity as to when going fast turns into bot-like editing of the sort that needs preauthorization. Unfortunately, 5133:
projects, especially if they use proprietary code or need to use non-free components. For some projects, there are also security-related reasons to not open source code for the same reasons we have private edit filters. Finally, if there are specific bots that are truly critical and not open source, we should identify those bots and solicit for replacement bots that would be open source, or ask the WMF to write, maintain, and operate replacement bots for those functions. The current policy is well-written.

inactive all the time. Honestly maybe a proposal to require Toolforge for non-AWB bots might also be worth considering. The combination of open sourced code plus Toolforge would be the ideal situation for rescuing abandoned bots. Finally, we also had a situation recently where an operator passed away and their bot was immediately blocked and globally locked. Avoiding blocking working bots ASAP, giving time for us to properly fork and replace them, might be worth adding to BOTPOL as well. –
2045:, and just saying you oppose something doesn't get us any closer to that. I think your idea to split the section is a good one but we needn't wait to see whether it consensus to fix this title. Do I understand correctly that your objection to "Automated, semi-automated or bot-like page creation" is that it's too long? In which case, how about "Bot or bot-like page creation", which aligns with other sections on this page and is no longer than most of them. – 206: 1912:, they'd certainly conclude they were in the wrong place when asked to "create an account for your bot", specify "the computer language that this bot will be written in. E.g. Python, Java, C, VB, AutoWikiBrowser", provide "a link to the source code", and so on. The cruellest thing we do on this project is punish people for doing things that we never told them were forbidden. You have to set out the process before you can expect people follow it. – 21: 2210:, and either missing or deliberately overlooking the fact that it's in the bot policy and therefore can only be read within the context of bot or bot-like editing. As for why it was reverted, I'm stumped too. First it was because it changed the meaning, then it was because it didn't change the meaning, then it was because it was too long, now it's because we should split it instead. I think. It's hard to keep up. – 174: 1304:, yes, but that is still within the limits of the bot policy. It is possible to create large numbers of articles without automation; I see editors doing it every day at NPP. For example, writing a stub on a species or location from scratch could take as little as ten minutes. So if you sit down and crank them out all day, you could break 50 and still have time for a long lunch. – 4793:, I don't think you need to worry about this. MEATBOT applies to all edits that are "high-speed or large-scale edits that a) are contrary to consensus or b) cause errors an attentive human would not make". Even if MASSCREATE ends up on another page, or even if MASSCREATE didn't exist at all, MEATBOT would still apply to the same edits that it does now. 4098: 3501: 5197:
more important. I agree that ideally all code would be open source (keeping any necessary private configuration closed) and with a relatively uniform development and runtime environment, but practically speaking, I don't think English Knowledge can afford to limit its potential pool of developers to that degree.

Looks ok to me. I expect open source codes for bots as well. It helped with the takeover of the AdminStats task (although we ended up hunting for a copy of the codes in Toolforge itself). However, can the grandfather clause be extended into new task requests of current bots as the new tasks may still

The goal with MEATBOT is to give the community a chance to intervene. Yes, please, be bold and post some articles. But don't dump hundreds on us; trickle them in at a rate that we can actually manage – and by "manage", we mean "determine whether you're making a mess and we need to stop you". Also,

I'm also don't think that a hard limit is the way to go here. It's practically guaranteed to encourage gaming, i.e. posting pregenerated articles exactly every 28 minutes. It also doesn't address what I think Headbomb is trying to get at, which is that it's the disruptive outcome that is the problem,

Your #2 is not a !vote, it's a comment in reply to someone else's !vote. You're the one who limited it to !votes mentioning those specific numbers. AnomieBOT has several tasks that only edit once per day, and in the past had one that only edited once per month, if that can illustrate for you that bot

BTW, if you want to talk about strawman arguments, I suggest looking at the one implying that if the MASSCREATE approval process kicks in at 50 per day, then someone might actually create 50 articles per day, 365 days per year, and that the community would be helpless to stop them (assuming we wanted

the compromise suggested by BilledMammal. Could you please explain why? This is not an RfC – nobody is being asked to !vote support/oppose. I can see that you said "Please let's not make a long and confusing heading", which I tried to do, and Primefac asked (after I had made the edit) what the reason
1907:
I think you'd probably want to start by make it more obvious where and how they're supposed to get that approval. Above you infer that people falsely claim to be creating articles by hand to evade this policy. Maybe that happens sometimes. But I think there's a larger group of editors to who are say,
5196:
I think the circumstances have to be taken into account. If the bot is going to be a one-time simple task, it's probably less critical to have a succession plan in place. If it's a bot that's going to underpin key workflow processes, then having a plan for ensuring that the task can be handed off is
5102:
This is a good point; as anybody who has ever tried to port anything knows, just having the source code is only half the battle. Moving things to a new operating environment can be a pain too; requiring that everything runs in Toolforge (or Cloud VPS) would be a good thing IMHO. I'm not sure where

Posting one article every 28 minutes would actually be great. We would actually prefer to have someone post one new article every 28.8 minutes round the clock than 49 articles at 12:01 a.m. and then disappear. Why? Because if the first few turn out to be really bad, we can block you before you've
3527:
You quoted part of the OP's vote in favor of his own proposal, from a sentence that said ""Large-scale" is up for discussion, but I would say anything more than 25 or 50." Every single !vote that mentioned those numbers afterwards specified that this was to be interpreted per day or in a short time
2593:
The controlling policy on that is the new mass-creation page rather than botpol anyway, the point is to note the mass creation policy exists rather than to restate it in every particular. I'm wary of putting too much in here that may easily become obsolete once people have the opportunity to discuss
5115:
I think you're underestimating how successive additional requirements hinder attracting new volunteers. It's no big deal to experienced developers, but there is already a lot to navigate as a new developer. Of course, if the goal is to reduce the number of abandoned bots, discouraging new bots will

to facilitate collaboration and forking. Should an author wish to keep the source code private, they must request an exemption from BAG during the bot approval process. BAG members may decline requests solely on the basis of source code not being open source." And some kind of grandfathering clause
3491:
I think you're misinterpreting the 2009 RFC. As I read it, the "anything more than 25 or 50" suggestion was not strictly time limited, but was limited to a "task". Extremely fast creation is one problem, but "slow and steady" can also add up to a problem. Some of the replies focused on speed, while
3325:
BilledMammal, this change would result in the policy more precisely representing what the 2009 RFC (the one that eventually resulted in its creation) actually said. I grant that this would make it more difficult for editors to make up their own claims about what it says (e.g., that it was intended
4912:
Some carve outs: I'm sure people can come up with edge cases where publishing code isn't desired; if those turn into actual BRFAs, I'm happy to defer the decision to BAG on whether the exception is justified or not. As a practical matter, I think it would be fine if people make changes, test their
3179:: A human (made of meat, unlike a robot) editor that makes a large amount of repetitive edits from their own account, often with semi-automated tools, much like a bot would. For the purpose of dispute resolution, it is irrelevant if edits are made by actual bots or by meatbots. See also WP:MEATBOT. 2485:
I think that's a good idea. Even if the content doesn't change, this discussion illustrates of the difficulty of relying on a local consensus of technically-focused editors to manage a policy on article creation. I don't think you need to do an RfC, though. A consensus of editors on this page that
1960:
I'm not sure that there's anything to enforce. When was the last time you saw someone creating more than 25 articles per day? It's unusual for anyone to even create 25 articles per week, and I don't think anyone has created 20–50 articles per day for any sustained, uninterrupted period of time.
5132:
I'm strongly opposed to the proposed change. The current policy encourages open source without being overly restrictive or discouraging of people submitting requests. As an open source developer, I think that's a good thing. But requiring all bots to be open source could discourage some potential
4996:
We already have agreements like that with some IP proxy detection vendors (I'm being cagey here about the vendor names only because I'm not sure of the status of these relationships). Because they are only (to the best of my knowledge) used as back-ends to some interactive tools, they don't fall
4908:
The rationale being 1) allowing people to suggest improvements for bots or point out possible bugs as a technical review step, and 2) when bots/maintainers inevitably disappear, mandate that there is a path for someone else to take over the bot without starting from scratch. I think the Wikimedia
3747:
There have been many discussions at different wp:notability pages where a common sentiment was avoiding mass creation, but it then gets said "but that is covered elsewhere", so it's important that it really is effectively "covered elsewhere". So another reason is that it's really needed to enable

It would be hardly surprising if Lugnuts usually complied with MASSCREATE in at least some minimal fashion, since about 90% of his article creations were after the RFC that led to the MASSCREATE rule. MASSCREATE was not about Lugnuts; it was primarily about an editor who was creating more than a
2967:
Lugnut's problem was IDHT, not that MASSCREATION was unclear. And 50 a day is too high a limit. 50 in a short term is better. 25 in a short term is also OK by me. We can leave that part undefined per "you know it when you see it" because as soon as you set a precise number, someone will go "but I

The problem is enforcement. While it's clear that editors who wish to create significant numbers of nearly-identical articles are required to get approval from the community, it is difficult to determine an action when they fail to do so, and the articles they created are usually accepted as fait
5248:
Any change to the policy would need consensus for that change, here on the English Knowledge. That discussion could be held here, but would need to be an actual RFC or other widely-advertised and widely-participated in discussion. Personally, I'd want to see more reason to change the policy than

where they aren't already against consensus or are otherwise disruptive.Also, IMO you'd probably do better to support this, because if this goes through then "The bot policy can't regulate human behavior" and "it makes no sense for human edits to be approved through BRFA" will no longer be valid
1545:
I think you have misinterpreted what I am saying. I see it as redundant because I see it as a tautology. The current text acknowledges that the policy applies to manual mass creation - regardless of my personal views on whether such a thing is possible - through the final paragraph which, as the

I agree that it's redundant. I'm suggesting we add it anyway for clarity, because many people come here via a section link and do not realise that this section is part of the bot policy – that's all. I'm not sure I follow how that would make it harder to enforce the policy against people who are
5147:
Part of my concern is that if it's necessary to grandfather existing bots, it strongly implies that there would be a chilling effect on future proposals, for both existing and new bots. I’d prefer to start with a review of existing bots to assess their criticality and succession plans, and then
3800:
If anything, I'd go in the other direction. Instead of trying to define mass creation, identify the problems it causes, and shift the guideline to address those. So you'd say that we don't want people to create articles so fast that they overwhelm the ability of other editors to patrol them, or
5236:
Applying for local bot approval here should still be required for bots here, our community and project are huge and expect our bot operators to be engaged here. As far should we kick out all global bots that are doing the task they are already approved for, that doesn't seem to be necessary. —
5081:
I mainly pushed back against this in the above BRFA because I felt it violated current norms. But I am not opposed to it in general if we make a change to BOTPOL. There are major maintainability advantages to having bot code open sourced. Volunteers that write critical code lose interest or go

The policy is currently that automated/semi-automated creation has to get authorization, plus a line that MEATBOT applies. MEATBOT, in turn, is almost entirely about making mistakes while editing quickly. The only clue in MEATBOT that it could extend beyond holding people accountable for their

If you want to make MASSCREATE stricter, then you could make such a proposal, but a sound basis for that future discussion would first be understanding what the long-standing rule actually says (25–50 per day, not per month/year/lifetime), what it was supposed to do (avoid overwhelming review
1733:
The reason I've suggested above is that because many people come here via a section link, they don't realise that this section is part of the bot policy and so end up reading it out of context. Most other sections already have the word "bot" in their title or shortcut, which ameliorates that.
2574:
Thanks for getting it started. Not opposed to this in principle, but in this draft while the moved policy seems like it retains the same meaning, the summary text left behind says something different. Mainly, you've created a new page that applies to "automated and semiautomated content page

I'm also curious about this, but I do see that allowing for exceptions is a reasonable thing to do. Imagine if somebody came to us and said, "The company I work for has an abuse-detection system that's 10x better than what you're using now. We're willing to let you use it at no cost, but

Approval of a bot for mass creation does not override the need for community consensus for the creation itself, nor does community consensus for a creation override the need for approval of the bot itself. Bot operators must ensure that all creations are strictly within the terms of their
3100:
No, you're behaving like a human who used a boilerplate. Ditto if I take the time to write 20 totally different articles but publish them all at the same time. Even if, against the odds, you found consensus for calling the use of a boilerplate to manually create articles without errors a
3666:
The purpose of MEATBOT is not to prevent people from editing. It's to prevent people from editing so quickly, in such enormous volume, that the rest of us are at risk of having a huge mess to clean up later. One edit per day does not have that risk. Hundreds of edits per hour does.
3382:
I use Lugnuts as a convenient benchmark to determine whether a proposal is non-viable; because the community considers his creations to be mass creations, any proposal that would redefine MASSCREATE in such a way that his creations would not be covered is very likely to be rejected.
2785:
He is primarily concerned about very short, very similar fill-in-the-blank articles, especially if it cites the same source as all the others, and most especially if that source is a database. For example, "_____ is a British cricket player" or "_____ is a fungus in the genus

4909:
movement has moved in this direction, with requiring open source licenses for bots run on Toolforge (the vast majority of our bots) and there's an abundance of places to post your code. Or in other words, open source should be the norm, private should be an exception.
3182:
Boilerplate editing is bot-like editing. Which, again, for the purpose of dispute resolution, is irrelevant, because if what you're doing is disruptive, you must stop and discuss and get consensus for what you're donig. I don't know why that's so hard to understand.
1683:
Sure, I'm good with that. I'd avoid 'meatbot' – it's not the most dignified piece of wikislang. Although actually, since it's getting a bit of a mouthful, do we really need the word "mass"? Nobody's using bots, silicon or flesh, to create one or two articles, right?
1387:
I think you are wrong, yes, but it's kind of beside the point. If you consider all forms of mass creation to be semi-automated, then what is the problem with amending the title of the section to read "Mass automated and semi-automated creation"? What's left out?
3289:
was created specifically because we trouble with an editor trying to claim that the bot policy didn't apply to their bot-like editing because they were completely manually filling in a boilerplate with no automation at all. The intent was to cut the knot with a
3631:". The problem with high-speed editing, no matter what method is being used for it, is that someone can make a huge mess before anyone has a chance to notice. Slow and steady, no matter what method is being used for it, does not have that same risk. 3556:
Considering there were only three such !votes, two of which were opposes, I don't find that a very convincing argument. Meanwhile, a not insignificant number of the comments talk about mass creation needing review without reference to the rate of that
3865:
I agree (and I think few would disagree ) that there must be guidance on non-bot mass creation of articles. Whether we acknowledge that this section in the bot policy also applies to non-bot activity, or have a separate guideline or policy for that.
4200:
Mass page creation may require approval by the community, in addition to a BRFA if the method of that creation falls under this Bot policy. BAG may require that community approval for any mass content creation exists before considering bot approval.
3804:
That also fully detaches it from the bot policy, which I'm more and more convinced it should be. Using bots without approval is already forbidden, for anything. Why do we need to restate that it is extra forbidden for creating lots of articles?
3837:
if you want to dump hundreds in one go, then please determine whether there's consensus first. In theory, if you're going to dump hundreds of articles in one go, and we both want those topics and approve of your content, we'll approve those.

This change would result in the policy endorsing mass creation, not requiring it to get community approval. You’ve also misunderstood my interpretation of this; only similar articles created using mass creation techniques count towards the

Sorry if the bold came across as harsh, I was following the format of an earlier comment. I appreciate you following up on the discussion to discuss it out in the open which will reduce the odds this is rediscussed in random future BRFAs.
4672:
I think you're trying to sneak in a wording change that tries to make your existing arguments easier to support. As I asked above, let's do this simple RFC first, then you can try to convince the community at large to accept your changes.
5021:
Like, I'll agree it's unequivocally better to have things open sourced. Hence why it should be encouraged. But volunteer coders are an extremely limited resource, so the fewer barriers to entry/participation we have, the better, IMO.
3071:
If you're creating boilerplate articles, you're behaving like a bot. MASSCREATE doesn't prohibit boilerplate articles, but it does says that if you want to do that on a large scale, i.e. more than 25-50, you need consensus to do so.
4993:
unfortunately I cannot make the code available". Having that exception carve-out gives us the ability to accept or refuse that offer as we see fit at the time. Not having that carve-out forces our hand. I think that's reasonable.
4382:
I don't suggest doing this at the same time. (Also, I think it would have to be something like the first and third sentences from the first paragraph, which is a level of complexity that should probably be discussed separately.)
1404:
It's redundant, and will make it harder to enforce the policy as editors have previously claimed that their mass creations are manual, even when there is clear evidence to the contrary such as them admitting to using scripts.
5148:
consider improvements based on the assessment. Policy changes might be one approach, but I believe that providing encouragements that won't discourage future projects, and can be applied to all bots, would be more effective.

Even if you place your signature (everything before the timestamp is "the RFC question") after the bold-face question, that's 138 words. I'd rate that as being possible, but still being longer than the average RFC question.

you draw the line, however. Some people would insist that everything run in a Docker container. That would drive me nuts. Some people would insist that we only use phab, gitlab, and so on. That would also drive me nuts.

MEATBOT applies to "high-speed or large-scale edits that a) are contrary to consensus or b) cause errors an attentive human would not make". It has nothing to do with the edits being "boilerplate" or repetitive in any way.

What I do think is that this is a change from the status quo - I think the language I proposed to Thryduulf would maintain the status quo, while the language I proposed to you would change it in the opposite direction.

BTW, to the best of my knowledge, there have never been any actual mass creation attempts that were not automated or semi-automated. The idea that someone could manually write 50+ articles per day is not realistic.
