The mainpage for cocktail cabinets has been wikified.

None of these wiki pages have a "Go back to Examples" or "Go back to Cocktail Cabinets". Should there be templates for those? If so, can the bot go back and put that in?
I have changed my nickname to "Cakemeister". Please do not PM the Buddabing account because I do not check it anymore.

Since I tied the username/password system to the forum, there isn't a great way to have a wiki-only account for the wiki. So, I suggest if you want to run a bot, register an account on the forum, but prefix it with "bot-" and put whatever you want after the "-" Use this account on the wiki, and I will flag it as a bot for future updates. Be sure when you register you use a valid email as that is required for the account validation.

I do that.

I have register a new username (bot-spacefractal). I got the email, but no valid link.

Can you move allready bot submitted entrys into the new username, so they can been flagged as a bot?

Im also only saw the excel file, but did not download that. I guess it Buddabing, that made all examples pages with using txt files, and I bot submit them after it.

Sorry Im didden't wait, before to late (but it saved a lots of copy&paste trivel). All bot entry was added with "Wikilinked by Space Fractal

Done. All my BOT entryes is now marked  as patrolled edits(so they can been hided), after I saw it could been marked with using the curid from the recent page.

In the future it better to use the new username, so it auto marked as a bot.

Is the MAMEY award a BYOAC thing or an outside thing?

Buddabing, you have a good point, I wanna change my answer.

MAMEY's are an outside thing, Zakk runs that show. 

I kind of agree about the 1-5 ratings getting us into a Hall-Of-Fame kind of arguement again, that's what led me to the category flags.  That way, nobody gets told their cab sucks, or that it is the Greatest Cab Ever, either.  If nobody's handing out awards (either MAMEY's or CrapMAMEY's) then nobody needs to get their panties all in a bunch.  But searches could still pull cabs with a lot of "Unusual" flags, or "Ground-Breaking" flags, or just "Cool" flags. 

I dunno, whadda you think, Saint?

[EDIT]
SirWoogie, did you change the status?

It was just a test, because I should logged in in the wiki, and not in forum (wich sirwoogie asked me to doing that).

To make sure Im was logged in as wiki, I made a entry. I have sent a pm after that, but have not heard back now....

It works! Thanks. I Have not now bot submitted Desktop_controls, that all have been wikilinked.

And of course I used the simple skin to save traffic and graphics for the bot-spacefractal. It look a bit funny in the small preview window, but it good, so I can see what the bot is doing (it replace the text using javacript, since Blitz+ support running javascript in the html gadget via activeX).

Buddabing:
Did you got the examples file from sirwoogie? I did not download that. We (along with MYX of course) should now make a very good standard design, that would works on all examples. You could split the database file into each file with the project name. I would so bot submit them all, when this design is finsihed. it about 6-700 projects, when deadlinks is not counted.

The design could look like one, used in the jukebox section.

sirwoogie:
[EDIT]
How to delete pages (would still to need to delete unused pages), now they had a {{delete}} tag.

I found 3 example page with bartop, wich
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Bartop/Countertop
was the right url.

http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Bartop_/_Countertop
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Bartop Examples Countertop (if remembed correct)

was both wrong.

That was not need to botsubmit barttop section, since buddaning allready did that, but the mainpage got a wrong url.

godnight!

Done. The desktop page project links are now wikilinks.

I did not get the example database from sirwoogie. Saint deleted it before I could snag the file. He said it was "corrupted".

Now we should shine the examples pages (of course I would do that automatic with the both on all projects) with back links and all. The pictures should after mine mind in the bottom of the above data, since they can have "any" size, if they are arviable.

Some pictures is even in the arcadecontrols.com domain, wich is just easier to link to, instead of uploading.

But it would been easier to design the page after the data, sirwoogie have. It so the first mainpage, translated directly to the wiki.

Hmm, whould bot-spacefractal have any bot status (even I have 3 posts in forum, one was a mistake)?

Saint, I also remembed I could open the file, but diddent save it.

Thanks too. It contain lots of info, that can been conveted to the wiki.

Now wipeout a example template:
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Template:Example

Buddabing, I think you should convert the file into text files (using the realname, not by links). I would wipeout a new bot, that use your files. Im of course use the bot username.

Some can been spawned to, example the OS, that can been on one line.

The destription is even that I looked for. It all here.

But for the start, only valid links would been converted, and later those with deadlinks.

I may also add a simple comment field, wich sould only contalt comment to the project, or so on. It shoud been based on the vendor template review.

I can convert the spreadsheet into a text file which uses the template you supplied and contains text for each project.

How would you take the text for each project and copy it into each individual wiki page? Via the bot?

Using the bot of course, since there are LOTS of projects.

First they should converted into the text file in each project (hince you should doing that first).

The next is the text file should look like a wiki page (so my bot is only require to read and upload the page).

The text files is based on the project name.

The only bad thing, is the picture. These may manually need to been uploaded, but it would have thier place in a table. So it dosent much up, even it have a picture or not. It not required to due with all projects, but it would been fine. What do we here?

The design format, this is not needed. It only a pure text format like this:

Upright Arcade Cabinet
Unclassified
Unclassified
Unclassified
None
Unclassified
arcade_mydream.htm

== Additional Details ==
Destription.

It seen you missing a % in 100 (Width="100" -> Width="100%"). This mean you used 100pixtures instead id 100% This is why you have the trouble with the bullets.

And it seen you have removed the sample pictures? Why? If there are no pictures, it just not shown anyone.

It for me totally easy to use copy & replace in text field.

Okay, the code is modified and an output is attached (rename .txt to .zip).
I am doing the following global text replacements in the project descriptions.

<li> becomes * and a space
</li> is removed
<ol> and </ol> are removed
<p>, <P>, and <br> replaced with newlines
<i> and </i> are replaced with ''' (three single quotes)
<center> and </center> are removed
\"" (two double quotes) is replaced with " (one double quote)
\' is replaced with '

The anchor and image HTML tags are not changed. There are relatively few of them.

EDIT: removed attachment

May I suggest before you start that you put these in an appropriate category? That way the search will work on these better.

hm, diddent do that. Sorry.

But How do I add categories?

The bot is now finsished (about 670 projects), but it have only updated exists examples with valid links (and was allready exists on the page). The bot was used the simple skin, wich use a lots fewer traffic than the standard skin.

Can I update the page again with changing category directly on the url?

If Yes, Im would doing that (running the bot again, only to update category)!

[EDIT]
It seen I need resubmit all pages again? Im been glad I used the bot username!

There was also few bugs, if a pictures was used in the distriptions.

Im simply update them again, but wait to tommorow.

arrhhh. your right.

 Im out in about a hour, there was few bugs with some pictures, that was in the destriptions, and few problems with some back links.

These need to being fixed, before Im doing that again.

I was not known there was category, wich of course should been used for the search engine.

It ok Im doing that again? But examples now works, and it look very fine with most of them.

Glad I got the bot status with the new username, so these dosent overhelm the recent page!

It seen there comming few projects in this week. I guess we should add them to the wiki, and use this as the examples page.

by now I update all valid projects with valid links, later I would do the same with deadlinks.

I must running the bot again. The category is now added, wich should been added in other pages as well.

It lots easier to search after other projects as well.

By im been sorry to run the bot again, but some bugs in my application is now fixes, so please do NOT remove the pictures from the examples and new folders.

If they can been find, they would been used (these pictures diddent show correct). it on the domain, so they should not been defunct.

I hope it ok, Sir sirwoogie?

Wonder if there might be something up with the script.  There are two entries for "Chris's MAME Cabinet"... they both have my link, but the information is not mine.  Does the bot get confused if two entries have the same name?

Yep, there was 2, that share the same name (but the other has a other name in the homepage). It not good, since it of course updated the page twice (wich came with the last entry of course).

I cant check every name on all projects,

The second one got a wrong name. I reupdate them again with correct name.

http://webpages.charter.net/celamantia/mamecab/ should been yours?

An error on the database.....

It manually fixed.
