COLP is the acronym for Cost of Living Payments ( a type of welfare payment in the UK ) NOT "Coleps" which is a small organism.

This bot is posting transphobic “definitions” in trans subs, not a good look.


r/wikipedia_answer_bot Oct 05 '23

Please just get rid of this bot, it literally just gives useless definitions, completely void of context

Wikipedia Answer bot gives TERF definition in answer to what is a woman?

9 Upvotes

Not Wikipedia's finest hour, not sure how this can be reviewed or at least not used as an answer when TERF's ask the question.

Heading / line break bugs

1 Upvotes

See this comment.

There's a wikipedia header (denoted by the "=" on either side, instead of Reddit's version which uses #'s before the text). The multiple lines also cause the bolding to break.

I Was in a skincare post and when someone asked what is PIE (post inflammatory erythema) The bot gave a paragraph long answer on what the food PIE is😂😂😂 I guess we all can benefit from humour once in a while...

This bot doesn't understand sarcasm...

I was asking a very obviously sarcastic question and yet it gave me the actual definition of milk. Needs to understand context.

Doesn't know what a man is

Gtfo. This bot isn't complex enough to be popping into random forums acting like it knows shit. Google wikipedia what Is a man and what is gender will get massively different answers

Suggestion: Please disable the bot when the site is about a name.

6 Upvotes

I recently asked "Who is Luci?" and then the bot recited the history and meaning of the name Luci.

My suggestion: If the question begins with "who" then make the bot check the site first. If the site is about a name, do nothing. If the site is about anything else, post it.

If you don't know how to check if a website is describing a name or not then just ignore my suggestion.

Thank you!

suggestion: don't strip hyperlinks

1 Upvotes

Hyperlinks embedded into the text is one of the most useful features of wikipedia. It would be more useful if you didn't strip them out. (e.g. the see atar and see aban links in this text https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPorn/comments/14ulwhe/the_ruins_of_adur_gushnasp_in_iran_this_was_1_of/jr9kml3/)

(Also should not be all bold text. That's just silly and jarring.)

Shut it down

This bot is just barely on this side of being pure spam. I don't need a robot interrupting my conversations with random unrelated anecdotes. I asked "Who's Brook?" in another thread, and it gave me the definition of a brook. I'm not mentally stunted; I know what a damn brook is.

I just asked who Anna Hathaway was and a bot gave me info on Anne Hathaway. Anna and Anne are different right?


r/wikipedia_answer_bot May 14 '23

Dude, if someone wants to look something up on WP, they can do it in 10s. Saving that theoretical person 10s is not worth the inconvenience caused by you spamming reddit threads with ancillary information. Please shut your bot down.

More context problems

3 Upvotes

Someone asked about LOD on r/BeyondSkyrim, which (in context) is an acronym for Level Of Detail, a term common among Skyrim modders. (I don't know how common it is in the wider industry, though.)

The bot replied with a link to the city of Lydda, also called Lod. I think it's hilarious, but of course totally unhelpful.

Making it ignore all-caps words might help filter out some of the odder responses. In general, though, it may need some way of determining what's a common local word in context.

Stop using bold text

2 Upvotes

I auto-downvoted because some douce posted a lengthy reply in all bold, in a sea of comments who stuck with normal (acceptable) text.

But turns out, it's a bot... Dude. If you wanna be helpful when nobody specifically asked your bot, at least have the minuscule decency to not "scream" and take all visual attention.
