 * 11:37: Amulet of Kings: /o
 * High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia has joined the chat.
 * 11:37: Sakaratte: Hey Ashley, been a long while.
 * 11:37: Sakaratte: Hi all else
 * 11:37: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: hi
 * 11:37: Rozty: the things is, we don't have any topics aside from one from cat master
 * 11:37: High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia: o/
 * 11:37: Rozty: so idk if we will be able to discuss anything today
 * 11:39: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: guess this is a rather useless moot then
 * 11:39: Sakaratte: Pretty much, unless Cat shows.
 * 11:39: Rozty: yeah, still we should see if someone else wants to talk about something wiki related
 * 11:39: Amulet of Kings: The one time I remember to come...
 * 11:39: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: anyone got something they want to discuss?
 * 11:39: Sakaratte: We could always discuss how to usurp the wiki in the worst case
 * 11:39: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: how about we vote on permabanning all the admins?
 * 11:39: Rozty: check out the new CT thread that i haven't had time to participate in yet pls
 * 11:39: Rozty: is one thing i want to talk about
 * 11:40: Amulet of Kings: Sure, I miss my mod badge
 * 11:40: Rozty: (kappa)
 * 11:40: Sakaratte: For me it's just a reminder I'm about to handle some of the technical stuff if atv is tied up.
 * 11:40: Sakaratte: I said it last moot, but I was Brazil shortly after
 * 11:41: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: can you link it?
 * 11:42: Rozty: Thread:1058243
 * 11:42: Rozty: this one
 * 11:42: Rozty: it's in the weekly updates as well
 * 11:42: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: ah yes, that one. there's not much i have to say on that that hasn't been said already
 * Dwemer35 has joined the chat.
 * 11:44: Rozty: hello
 * 11:44: Dwemer35: Hi
 * 11:45: Rozty: more people are joining but it seems that we don't have anything to talk about?
 * 11:45: Dwemer35: I totally forgot about the Moot
 * 11:45: Rozty: yeah me too :/
 * 11:45: Rozty: hecking emoji
 * 11:45: Rozty: usually i remember but it completely skipped my mind today
 * Sakaratte has left the chat.
 * Stygies VIII has joined the chat.
 * 11:47: Stygies VIII: hi
 * 11:47: Rozty: hey
 * 11:47: Rozty: so ok
 * Sakaratte has joined the chat.
 * 11:47: Dwemer35: Hello
 * 11:47: Stygies VIII: so what do we talk about
 * 11:47: Rozty: i was looking through previous moot summaries and turns out that one topic we had was from the previous month
 * 11:47: Rozty: i just never removed it from the page
 * 11:48: The Beautiful Princess Ashley: so i guess we have nothing
 * 11:48: Rozty: yes
 * 11:48: Rozty: basically
 * 11:49: High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia: rip
 * 11:49: Rozty: i was thinking that we could look through previous moot decisions that still need to be implemented, since this is something that we did once before when there were no topics
 * 11:49: Rozty: we only do this once a month after all so might as well make the most of it
 * 11:50: Amulet of Kings: It's better than nothing
 * Sakaratte has left the chat.
 * 11:52: Rozty: yeah, so we can start from the most recent one and just look through some of the monhts
 * 11:52: Rozty: months*
 * 11:52: Rozty: and right from the start, september also has no consensus reached because of lack of topics
 * 11:52: Rozty: nice
 * 11:52: Rozty: The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Moot/August 2019
 * 11:52: Rozty: this is the august one
 * 11:55: Amulet of Kings: This is what happens when you don't release a main game in 8 years
 * 11:55: Rozty: from the looks of it almost all is bot related tasks so oof
 * 11:55: Rozty: (kappa)
 * Sakaratte has joined the chat.
 * 11:55: Stygies VIII: oof
 * 11:55: Rozty: true, there's only so much we can work on when there's nothing new on the table
 * 11:56: Stygies VIII: well I have a hot PyWikiBot so I can help
 * 11:56: Stygies VIII: I guess I might apply for bot rights?
 * 11:56: Stygies VIII: I even have 3 flaming hot PWBs
 * Sakaratte has left the chat.
 * 11:56: Stygies VIII: 1 for pl.cyberpunk, 1 for Wiki Manager tasks and 1 for nothing right now
 * 11:58: Rozty: yeah honestly having just one more person with a bot would help a lot
 * 11:58: Rozty: i've tried using it before but for some reason it won't edit anything for me
 * 11:58: Rozty: have to look into it again now
 * 11:58: Rozty: ok turns out that the last time we looked back on previous moots was june, which is fairly recent, so for now we have to see again the moot decisions of july and august
 * 11:58: Rozty: the thing is most of then are bot related problems though, and there's not much we can do about it.
 * 12:01: Dwemer35: Sorry for derailing a bit, but how exactlly do you run a bot program?
 * 12:01: Dwemer35: Just curious
 * 12:01: Rozty: we use the AutoWIkiBrowser
 * 12:01: Rozty: hold on i'll grab a link and explain in more detail
 * 12:01: Rozty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser
 * 12:01: Rozty: this is a fairly simple program in which you can input short commands in order to change pages. it's usually things like replacing text with other text, so it's used for stuff like changing infoboxes
 * 12:01: Rozty: it can look through all wiki pages, and you can also specify what categories you want to check for specific pages so it's very useful
 * 12:01: Rozty: i obviously haven't been using it since i can't so if you want to learn about it more in depth then ask atvelonis and he will be able to help you
 * 12:06: Dwemer35: Thanks
 * Sakaratte has joined the chat.
 * Sakaratte has left the chat.
 * 12:07: Amulet of Kings: See you next month, I need some rest, I've been working all day
 * 12:07: Rozty: for a recent example, you can use it to find all instances of the word "Dovahzul" that appears in the wiki, and have it replaced with the phrase "Dragon Language"
 * 12:07: Stygies VIII: sorry brbed
 * 12:07: Rozty: that way you don't have to manually go through everything yourself
 * 12:07: Rozty: cya amulet
 * 12:08: Stygies VIII: alright, I will apply and the administration will accept or not
 * 12:08: Rozty: nice
 * Amulet of Kings has left the chat.
 * 12:09: Rozty: tbh i don't know if there's anything else we can talk about, there's nothing really new and the things we discussed in june's moot that was similar to this seem to be about the same
 * 12:11: Stygies VIII: well, no
 * 12:11: Stygies VIII: we don't have anything
 * 12:11: Rozty: then i guess that i don't have to keep you here any longer (kappa)
 * 12:11: Rozty: go, you are free
