I have all kinds of busy stuff so I didn’t map as much.
(If you don’t know what PTV is, read my previous diary entry.)

Now… (Shown with all available details displayed. Of course, it’ll not show tags you didn’t add, but this should encourage people to fill in details!)
(No, I’m not replying on the wiki topic. It’s not like I have anything to say to that. I am following though.)
Anyways. Will you guys look favourably upon a wiki bot that deletes pages that fits all the criteria below…
…which account for a significant part (at least 20% of deletions include the reason “and the only contributor was ") of past deletions?
If so, I could write a bot in Node.js and host it in Glitch.com, then have the admin provide me with a bot account. But first I need to know if you guys would actually like it.
That’s pretty much it. glhf

First and foremost, big fan of the PTV. I’ve been referring to it frequently as I map, and it makes checking out other people’s transit networks that much more fun. Great work.
As far as the wiki goes, for as much of a flashpoint as it’s been recently around the forums and as we continue to have quite busy admins, it surprises me greatly that no one has brought up using some clean-up bots over there. Relatively speaking I’m still pretty new around here so what I think in the matter doesn’t carry all that much weight, but I think it’s a great idea and hope the admins agree.

Indeed we have a lot of wiki-articles, which are only short stubs and unchanged since years, written for lost countries or which have overwicificated content. Clean up with a bot? Why not proof manuelly from some advanced users? May be one from A - D, the next E - H and so on … There schould be a template like “Please delete for stub or overwikifikation”, which can set in this articles and if there is no reaction of the owner in one month, then delete the stuff.

All stub pages I agree should be deleted, at least if there is no development for more than three months. I rather not give a time frame too short that forces users to try overwikify the page. Even if it is still short, why create such stub pages for in the first place? Is it because users didn’t expect they will never get back to it?
I also wish this bot will really develop and get live soon. Just saying, there is a bot now on the wiki to detect and report floods I believe.

Histor - The bot doesn’t detect overwikification itself - It’ll only delete the ones marked so by the sole contributor since in many situations, the contributor became aware of their overwikification but still has to wait a long time to get them deleted.
Stub pages should be moderated manually. We’re not fully automating the job.

@austinhuang: As I wrote - the bot can delete marked articles (of overwikification). The marking has to be manuell. For stubs can be a limit (lesser as 1000 chars or so) and the bot deleted.

Would it be possible to add a transparency slider, it would help where routes overlap? Thinking Gobras City particularly.
I think the bot to delete where only one editor is a no brainer. But I think it would exhaust targets real quick. Would then need to think of where a template has been added and it hasn’t been objected to within a specified period.

wangi - I can let the bot store dates when the article is added the template by another user. I guess a month would be ample time to respond?

Opacity is now a thing. Use ogf:opacity tag to adjust. 0~1.

Thanks!

Could you also control the opacity of the background map?
Comment from austinhuang on 11 January 2019 at 15:27
I don’t think that’ll serve any purpose. Also I doubt if it’s possible.
Comment from wangi on 11 January 2019 at 23:59
I believe the tile layer also has an opacity parameter. This would really help mute the map such that it’s a background to the relations, instead of being too visible.

I LOVE the PTV updates! Well done :)
