Basics

  • This page goes over some possible bots, for automating various functions

Bots

Unit Conversion

Metric to Standard and Standard to Metric

  • Easily Automatable (Assuming data is in some recognisable format
  • A Near Necessity for International Use, would take a LONG TIME to do manually on ALL pages
  • All in all saves time
  • Math part of code is easy, finding the spots, and not choosing the wrong ones may be difficult, Deep Learning perhaps?

Metric to SI and Standard to SI

  • Not too neccisary, but SI is like metric 2.0 and is used in some circles

Time to UTC

  • Automatically changes log times etc to UTC
  • Not too neccisary as THIS SITE works fine, would mainly be a minor timesave, and a consistency fix

x^y to proper superscript + a similar system for subscript

  • Would allow for faster typing of chemical formulas and equations

Spellcheck etc=

Spellcheck

  • Would need to be similar to the quality of google/google office 's
  • NOT microsoft word level
  • Should also allow for "adding things to the dictionary" for things like acronyms, and weird scientific/trade terms etc

Autotemplate tool

  • A tool next to the horizontal line tool on the edit/create pages that allows for choosing and applying a template
  • Pehaps have a "Are you sure" promt to prevent accidental deleting of progress via template
  • May be intense to implement but previews when selecting templates WOULD help, but simple names and folders would work as well

Logging

Auto Hour Log

  • Measures how long you stayed on OSE sites (Opt in for privacy enthusiasts)
  • May run into issues of it running in the backround, and thus inaccurate times (perhaps a time out function?) (need to determine how long the timeout function would be + how this works with multiple tabs/various sites such as OCI or other branches of OSE
  • Wouldn't replace manual descriptions, but would make timelogs more accurate
  • Could also implement a time tracker (optional as well) that could be used to plan work plans based on who works when, thus increasing efficiency

Daily Edit/Create Lists + Tally

  • An automatic componet of the log that has a dropdown of everything you uploaded/edited/created that day (There is the user contributions page, so perhaps integrate these?)
