LinguaLibre:Bot

Welcome to the Lingua Libre Bot service!

Lingua Libre Bot (aka LiLiBot or LLBot) is passionate about audio recordings, languages and Wikimedia projects. Every day, it adds Lingua Libre's latest audio recordings to the relevant pages on various Wikimedia projects.

Due to the big amount of recordings added every day, it is necessary for LiLiBot to obtain the Bot status on each wiki it works on, in order to contribute to it safely. As of today, the bot is allowed and able to contribute to four Wikimedia projects.

YOU can help LiLiBot pursue its mission! Follow the guidelines on this page to request LiLiBot on your wiki!

Bot request for ku.wiktionary

• Example pages (3): ku:wikt:beran, ku:wikt:başûr, ku:wikt:keskesor- You can see best audio integration there.
• Target section: The audio file should be added at the end of the === Bilêvkirin === section, which means "Pronunciation". If there is no === Bilêvkirin === section on the page, please create one after the language section, that is == {{ziman|<lang code>}} ==. If there is no language section, the audio file should not be added.
• Local audio template(s) example(s): {{deng|ku|LL-Q36368 (kur)-Mihemed Qers-keskesor.wav|Deng|dever=Qers}}
• Local audio template(s) explained:
  • {Deng} is the template name which means "audio", and takes the following parameters...
  • ku is the lang code from ISO 639-1 of the audio, ISO 639-3 and ISO 639-2 are also in use.
  • LL-Q36368 (kur)-Mihemed Qers-keskesor.wav is the filename
  • Deng means audio, should always be present.
  • |dever= means place of origin, could be local variant or accent, country or city name. In the example "Qers" is the Kurdish name for the city en:Kars.
• Request by: Balyozxane (talk) 04:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Here are two examples [1], [2]. If there are multiple part of speech sections we still collect them all at the top of the page like this [3]. |dever= parameter should fetch the Kurdish names for places from Wikidata if possible. Lingua libre uses "kur" code for Kurdish, but we use "ku" and sometimes "kmr" on ku.wikt. Even when the language code is "kmr" in language section, the lang code in {{deng|<lang code>}} should be "ku". I think that's all I can remember. Any questions? --Balyozxane (talk) 00:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

You can also take a look at this page [4] for guidance.--Balyozxane (talk) 00:47, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Balyozxane , your last link is a diff, is it normal ? Also, can you reformat a bit your request so it follow the template above. You can also allow me to edit your text and I will happily do it. cc: user:Poslovitch. Yug (talk) 18:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Yug The last link was for example only to show there are other varients but the first two are the desired outcome from the LiLiBot. Feel free to correct my use of the template as free as you can. Balyozxane (talk) 04:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

@Balyozxane Thanks! I'll get to work ASAP. I'll notify you once I'm ready to test the bot ;) --Poslovitch (talk) 13:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you!Balyozxane (talk) 08:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Connexion via Oauth and Bots for Unilex lists editing

@Olaf & Poslovitch Hello folks. I'am having some connection issues with WikiAPI (JS) code to connect to LinguaLibre. Is there some special thing to do to connect my bot to edit Lili ? As human using chrome, being connected to Commons alone doesn't connect you to LinguaLibre. We have to come here, click login, which sends a Oauth query (I guess), check my login status on Commons, then makes something so I'am loggued into both Commons and Lingualibre. I suspect some additional Oauth query is needed inside my bot. Yug (talk) 21:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Normally the login procedure here is very complicated: mw:OAuth/For_Developers, and I've never managed to implement it, however if you use a bot account, you can create a password in Special:BotPasswords, and then log in directly on Lingua Libre wiki without Commons. Alternatively you can use one of the JS frameworks to log in. Finally, if you are logged in manually in the browser, the authorization proof should be in cookies, so the JS scripts in the browser should work fine. Olaf (talk) 21:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Special:BotPasswords/Dragons_Bot. Progress underway. Thank you.

I see :

Allowed IP ranges:
0.0.0.0/0
::/0

Any explanation for this ? Dragons Bot (talk) 21:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Starting to work. Situation unlocked. Thank Olaf. Yug (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Lists: approach and limits

Dragons Bot script is ready to run. A test back is visible on Special:Contributions/Dragons_Bot.

I propose the following ranges of words for lists creations :

var ranges = [
	[ '00001', '00200' ],  // 1) 'List:Ibo/Most_used_words,_UNILEX_1:_words_00001_to_00200'
	[ '00201', '01000' ],  // 2) 'List:Ibo/Most_used_words,_UNILEX_2:_words_00201_to_01000'
	[ '01001', '02000' ],  // …
	[ '02001', '05000' ],  // 4) <←——— 1st threshold
	[ '05001', '10000' ],  // …
	[ '10001', '15000' ],  // 
	[ '15001', '20000' ],  // 
	[ '20001', '25000' ],  // 
	[ '25001', '30000' ],  // 9) <←——— 2nd threshold
	[ '30001', '35000' ],  // 
	[ '35001', '40000' ],  // 
	[ '40001', '45000' ],  // 
	[ '45001', '50000' ]   // 
];

I willfully create a smooth ramp approach to onboard new comers. I tested, 200 is a nice balance while we start. It is gently ambitious and about 10 mins works. It typically the kind of list-size I was looking for demoing in IRL events, with new users. Then can do just 20 if they wish. But the length alone, 200, encourage to flow it forward and to try out the Lingualibre productive flow which appears after 20~30 words but requires 50 words to "see the power" of LinguaLibre.

As for the depth, I first though of a deal :

// `corpus-limit`: 
//  - default: x = 5000; 
//  - active: x = 30000
//  - rule: if recordings > 2000 according to https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:Stats, then `active`.

With that rule, our 17 most active languages get 30,000 words via 9 files. All others get 5,000 words via 4 files.

But after some though I'am wondering if this 5,000 first limit is too small. It allows good on-boarding, but then nothing. Waiting still a bit. Yug (talk) 22:22, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

@Pamputt , I derivated from the IETF's column on the right a new `iso639-3` column on the left. These `iso639-3` will provide the Iso in List:{Iso}/{Title}{range}. But I often didn't what was the `iso639-3` versions so I kept the IETF tag (ceux avec les -). Could you review languages.js and share with me possible corrective indications ? Or is it ok if I use those ? (I don't think so, the record wizard will have difficulties finding them) Yug (talk) 22:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

About two letters code, you can find the "equivalent" ISO 639-3 code using this Wikipedia page. For example, "ae-Latn" corresponds to "ave" on LinguaLibre. Pamputt (talk) 06:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I need to be sure I'am converting correctly from composite IETF into current conventions (iso639-3 right?). Thanks for the lead on `ave`, I will check those. I gathered below the list of items I'am confused by.

	{ 'iso639-3':'ave', file:'ae-Latn' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'be-tarask' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'blt-Latn' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'ca-valencia' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'ctd-Latn' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'el-Latn-u-sd-it75' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'gsw-u-sd-chag' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'gsw-u-sd-chbe' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'gsw-u-sd-chfr' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'kab-Arab' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'kab-Tfng' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-puter' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-rumgr' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-surmiran' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-sursilv' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-sutsilv' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'rm-vallader' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'sr-Latn' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'vec-u-sd-itpd' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'vec-u-sd-itts' },
	{ 'iso639-3':'', file:'vec-u-sd-itvr' },

Do we have a naming convention for cases like gsw, rm and vec which has several sub elements each ? Should I do List:{gsw}/u-sd-chag/{title} ? I will return here later to complete all those I can. Yug (talk)
