Function details: This bot will update Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts periodically. In addition to the just the total number of installations shown presently, the bot will also show the number of active users for each script.
The number of installations is the number of userspace common.js or skin js pages that contain the script's name (example search query for Lupin/popups.js script). The number of active users is the number among them who've made an edit or log action in the last 30 days.
Discussion
- My only question is whether this should be a weekly or monthly scan; how often does this sort of information change? Primefac (talk) 17:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- I agree weekly is a bit excessive. I had initially planned on doing it once a fortnight. But then, it seemed that the only way to schedule that using cron is through a hack that doesn't work 100% correctly. Maybe, I was just over-thinking stuff and it would be better to just do it on the 1st and 15th day of each month. SD0001 (talk) 11:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Approved for trial (1 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. While I wait for the above reply, might as well show a "full run" as proof-of-concept. Primefac (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
