"But I have three precious things which I prize and hold fast. The first is gentleness; the second is economy; and the third is shrinking from taking precedence of others. With that gentleness I can be bold; with that economy I can be liberal; shrinking from taking precedence of others, I can become a vessel of the highest honour." – The Tao-te Ching by Lao-tzu. Chapter 67.
Translated by James Legge.^[1]

Tip of the moment...

Automating tasks on Wikipedia

Uploading hundreds of files or changing thousands of pages can be tedious. Limited automation is allowed on Wikipedia as long as it follows certain policies. The easiest way is to use AutoWikiBrowser.

Or, you always can grab your favorite scripting language and write a bot, but there is no need to reinvent the wheel: most modern programming languages have a MediaWiki library already written, there is a full list or programming languages and libraries here. Once you have written the code, you can request approval to trial run your bot. Once approved, your bot will be flagged, so it can be hidden from the list of recent changes. Alternatively you can request someone else take care of the whole matter for you.

I'm the "only" Technopat. If you are here because my username resembles that of any of the other Techno... names used here at Wikipedia, click "show" → (If not, please read on...)

In particular, you may be looking for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Technoquat... Who has actually attacked my user page and I got some help in dealing with it.

With my CheckUser hat on, I can say that Technopat is Unrelated to Technoquat, other than having a really unfortunate username - Alison ^❤ 22:43, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
