Task/s: As promised in the page Wikidata:Property proposal/Legaseriea.it ID, now it's the time to import some Lega Serie A soccer player ID (archived) (P5339).
Code: 2018-06-wikidata-soccer-serie-a
Function details: From this list of player IDs: players.csv, the bot will try to match the name of each soccer player to the related Wikidata entity, importing his ID in the Lega Serie A soccer player ID (archived) (P5339) if it was not already set. --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 09:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- I am ready to approve the request in a couple of days, provided that no objections will be raised. Lymantria (talk) 05:28, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Lymantria: Sorry me for this semi-OT question: have I to always use my bot account for whatever "repetitive task" (with the consequence of a new boring task permission for each task)? :( or can I simply operate my semi-automated scripts from my normal user account, e.g. simply respecting a rate limit? (I'm asking this because I see too many people running stuff like QS2 even on big datasets without any sort of task consensus) --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- Or even better, in order to still separate human contributions and automated contributions, can I simply operate my semi-automated scripts from my bot account... but without setting the bot flag when saving these pages? --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- The bot flag cannot be switched on and of easily. And bot accounts should not be used for contributions that do not fall within the scope of the bot's designated tasks (see Wikidata:Bots). A request for permission of a more generic bot task could of course do the trick for a couple of smaller tasks. Lymantria (talk) 05:35, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

- Thank you @Lymantria:. What I mean is that even If a bot account usually alsays set the 'bot' flag when saving [1], that 'bot' flag can also be unused. --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
- Cannot be done apart from switching it on and off. Lymantria (talk) 20:02, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @GZWDer: :) please read my question (
22:22, 2 July 2018). I know that you can help us in my question, since you wrote this: Special:Diff/550121249. --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 21:00, 3 July 2018 (UTC)- Anyway I will follow the Lymantria suggestion, doing a more generic request here: Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Valerio Bozzolan bot 7 --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 22:29, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
