Functionality and scope

This bot is a work-in-progress. Currently not all functionality is implemented.

Input

The bot fetches JSON data from the following pages to generate blocks of wikitext:


Output

When run, the bot automatically updates:

Planned functionality includes automatic updating and generation of:

  • Song statistics - note counts, colors, etc.
  • Asset tables for songs

Usage

When run, the bot searches the wiki for specific markers within HTML comments (described below), and finds the appropriate function to use. It then replaces the text between the BEGIN and END markers with generated content. If the content is different from what it was originally, the bot makes an edit and saves the new version of the page.

Currently the bot is ran manually by User:TadeLn. If you need the bot to be ran, you can ask User:TadeLn to do so, by sending a message on Discord, or sending an e-mail via the wiki.

The sections that the bot should edit are indicated manually with markers:

  • <!-- ## RIZBOT BEGIN command_name [arg1 [arg2...]] ## -->, and
  • <!-- ## RIZBOT END command_name ## -->,

where command_name is the type of the section that the bot should generate (for example, rizline_song_info_box, or rizline_song_stats). All command names are described below. Additional space-separated arguments may be added after the section_type in the BEGIN marker.

Warning: It is important to remember that anything that is between the BEGIN and END markers will be overwritten. Manual changes to the content in-between the markers will be lost when the bot will be launched again.

To generate a song info box using Rizbot, use the following syntax:

<!-- ## RIZBOT BEGIN rizline_song_info_box RizlineLevelID ## -->

  • RizlineLevelID - Internal ID of the level for which to generate the info box.

Rizline Song List (rizline_song_list)
