User:FitBot
|
This user account is a bot operated by EncycloPetey (talk • contribs).
It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
|
This bot is used to populate the inflected forms of Latin verbs, participles, and adjectives, and to populate the conjugated forms of Galician verbs. Its name comes from the Latin (deprecated template usage) fit, a form of (deprecated template usage) faciō.

Methods
- Uses SemperBlotto's modification of the "pagefromfile.py" python script (part of "pywikipediabot" package) to load inflected forms from a text file that has been prepared offline (semi-automatically).
- Pages that already exist are not changed by this process, if they already have a Latin section. Otherwise, a Latin section is added at the end and the autoformat bot is asked to cleanup.
- The bot always runs under the direct control of User:EncycloPetey.
Verbs and other forms
- Imperatives, infinitives, and future participles are not currently added as part of this process.
- Code is at User:FitBot/forms
- The text file consists of a section for each word to be loaded in a format typified by the following.
{{-start-}}
<<< audivi >>> (page name)
==Latin==
===Verb===
{{la-verb-form|audīvī}}
# {{conjugation of|[[audio#Latin|audiō]]||1|s|perf|act|ind|lang=la}}
{{-stop-}}
