Hi @Olaf thank you very much for this list, I find it very useful!

I have a few questions (that also applies to this list in other languages):

  1. How often exactly does Olafbot check if some words of the list have been recorded?
  2. If I change the name of this list (to translate it in French for example), do you need to change the bot's code?
  3. I believe you once said that the bot's code is in Java, do you have a repository containing the code? Is your bot running on a personal server or on ToolForge?

Thank you very much, all the best! — WikiLucas (🖋️) 15:27, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @WikiLucas00
Ad 1. Every three hours all around the clock
Ad 2. Yes. But you may just create a redirection to this list from the French translation.
Ad 3. The bot is running from Polish Wikimedia's Tool Server. The code does a lot of mundane tasks in Polish Wiktionary, the lists for Lili are just a side job based on the same data which has been used to generate these lists: wikt:pl:Kategoria:Rankingi_brakujących_słów_według_wystąpień_w_innych_wikisłownikach since 2011. I'm sorry, I know it's against the Wikimedia custom, but I haven't published the source code. I started this bot 12 years ago, when my programming skills were much lower, and the code is very clumsy and old-fashioned. Now as a senior developer I can't afford to publish it because it could hinder my future job perspective if somebody found this code looking up my name on the Internet. :-) In fact, I should refactor the whole thing, but it's 53000 lines of a hopeless Java code, so I'm probably forced to maintain it forever. Perhaps I could extract and publish the fragment used for LiLi lists alone, but as it shares the source data with the lists for Polish Wiktionary, it doesn't make much sense.
