Functions page[edit | edit source]
Can you make the geckbot parse the members of all the function categories and generate a Functions page which links to all the functions using headers for category names? I can reorganize the categories with proper nesting once they are all on one page. Perhaps use some kind of tabular layout so we can put a short summary of each function on the page as well.
See User:Haama/Functions1 for an example.

- Should be quite possible. I'll look into it. Been a while since I've used the bot, have to figure out how best to do that.
- DragoonWraith · talk · 00:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Done. See Function Page.

- You forgot to create sections on the page base on the category the function came from =P
- --SnakeChomp 02:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't do that because I haven't figured out how yet. Working on it.
- DragoonWraith · talk · 20:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Done! Took some customizing in the Python code, but that was cool. Seems to have worked perfectly; let me know if you'd like anything about it to work differently.

- Nice work DragoonWraith! The page looks really great now, but I noticed that the "Math Functions" section has been repeated - both section 13.1 and section 15 are identical "Math Functions" sections, and I'm not sure whether or not this was your intention.

- It was "intentional" insofar as I expected that to happen and don't consider it a 'bug' in the code. Preventing that would take a rather larger amount of computer time/processing, which I neither want to code nor want to sit through. I just figured we could fix small things like that manually after the fact.

- I wondered if that was the case, thanks for clarifying.

Function template pages that use arg# arguments[edit | edit source]
Can you change the existing users of the Function template who use the arg0-arg9 and optarg0-optarg9 arguments to use the new "arguments" value with the Template:FunctionArgument template? See PipBoyRadio for an example of using the "arguments" parameter to the Function template. Once all existing templates are changed we can remove the arg0-arg9 and optarg0-optarg9 arguments from the function template to make it a bit easier to deal with.
I didn't check, but there may not be a whole lot of existing function template users, so if its less than 10 or something I suppose it can just be done by hand.

- This one's pretty trivial, sure.
- DragoonWraith · talk · 20:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Bah, took a while to re-learn how PyWikipedia RegEx worked, but I got it. Still looking into the other one.
- DragoonWraith · talk · 22:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Is PyWikipedia's Regex different from Python Regex?
- --Qazaaq 22:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, no. Looking up Python regex and using that worked just fine.
