Functions page

Can you make the geckbot parse the members of all the function categories and generate a Functions page which links to all the functions using headers for category names? I can reorganize the categories with proper nesting once they are all on one page. Perhaps use some kind of tabular layout so we can put a short summary of each function on the page as well.

See User:Haama/Functions1 for an example.

Should be quite possible. I'll look into it. Been a while since I've used the bot, have to figure out how best to do that.

Done. See Function Page.

You forgot to create sections on the page base on the category the function came from =P
--SnakeChomp 02:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
I didn't do that because I haven't figured out how yet. Working on it.
DragoonWraith · talk · 20:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Done! Took some customizing in the Python code, but that was cool. Seems to have worked perfectly; let me know if you'd like anything about it to work differently.
DragoonWraith · talk · 21:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Nice work DragoonWraith! The page looks really great now, but I noticed that the "Math Functions" section has been repeated - both section 13.1 and section 15 are identical "Math Functions" sections, and I'm not sure whether or not this was your intention.
-- Cipscis 21:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
It was "intentional" insofar as I expected that to happen and don't consider it a 'bug' in the code. Preventing that would take a rather larger amount of computer time/processing, which I neither want to code nor want to sit through. I just figured we could fix small things like that manually after the fact.
DragoonWraith · talk · 22:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I wondered if that was the case, thanks for clarifying.

Function template pages that use arg# arguments

Can you change the existing users of the Function template who use the arg0-arg9 and optarg0-optarg9 arguments to use the new "arguments" value with the Template:FunctionArgument template? See PipBoyRadio for an example of using the "arguments" parameter to the Function template. Once all existing templates are changed we can remove the arg0-arg9 and optarg0-optarg9 arguments from the function template to make it a bit easier to deal with.

I didn't check, but there may not be a whole lot of existing function template users, so if its less than 10 or something I suppose it can just be done by hand.

This one's pretty trivial, sure.

Bah, took a while to re-learn how PyWikipedia RegEx worked, but I got it. Still looking into the other one.
DragoonWraith · talk · 22:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Is PyWikipedia's Regex different from Python Regex?
--Qazaaq 22:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, no. Looking up Python regex and using that worked just fine.
