Computer programs called bots have often been used to perform simple and repetitive tasks, such as correcting common misspellings and stylistic issues, or to start articles such as geography entries in a standard format from statistical data.[297][298][299] One controversial contributor, Sverker Johansson, created articles with his bot Lsjbot, which was reported to create up to 10,000 articles on the Swedish Wikipedia on certain days.[300] Additionally, there are bots designed to automatically notify editors when they make common editing errors (such as unmatched quotes or unmatched parentheses).[301] Edits falsely identified by bots as the work of a banned editor can be restored by other editors. An anti-vandal bot is programmed to detect and revert vandalism quickly.[298] Bots are able to indicate edits from particular accounts or IP address ranges, as occurred at the time of the shooting down of the MH17 jet incident in July 2014 when it was reported that edits were made via IPs controlled by the Russian government.[302] Bots on Wikipedia must be approved before activation.[303]
I don't think they intended to re-enable the API. I suspect it was a side effect of upgrading their MediaWiki infrastructure. That project is dying, the only languages still active are English, Japanese and German and even then a growing percentage of edits are from spam bots. Ideally I don't want to just leave all this material in the dumps, I'd like to incorporate as much as possible into Wikivoyage but it's not an easy task. That was my main interest in doing the back up. I hadn't planned on archiving other wikis but what the heck, I'll do it, at least the ones that were never downloaded. But I'll ask your help with something in return, and this was quite the coincidence, but take a look at these: voy:Wikivoyage:Travellers'_pub#FYI_-_Links_from_Commons and Commons:Village_pump#In_other_projects. I want Commons categories to link back to Wikivoyage articles. The way it's set up, Wikivoyage {and WP) link to the categories on commons through Wikidata but get no backlinks in return. I was looking on phrabricator for a ticket about this and saw you were involved in a number of similar sister link issues. This is my first time on phab so if you could help keep an eye on it I'd appreciate it, I opened a ticket here PS: You never answered my question above about updating XML dumps, thanks.
