Talk:Caretaker.pl

I added the caretaker so we can add tidying and categorisation rules which are applied to all articles on a daily basis. This script is declared on startup of Bender and its main function, caretaker() is called at 6am each morning. It loops slowly through all articles over a period of a a couple of hours so there's no noticable reduction of resource during the process.

Current and propsed rules

• Categorise items into eg. Category:Articles created by xxx

include the cur_is_new,cur_user_text columns in the SELECT FROM cur query in the main loop,

if cur_is_new=0, then SELECT old_user_text FROM old WHERE old_title='$title' ORDER BY old_timestamp LIMIT 1;

• Categorise items into Category:Articles linking to external news
• Change http://[www.]organicdesign.co.nz to {{SERVER}}
• Change lib, libs to library, libraries
• Renumber headings so they start at = (done)
• domain-names: articles (done)
• date: articles
