RottenBot

A bot to help edit Rotten Tomatoes data on Wikidata and the English Wikipedia.

Description

Many film articles on Wikipedia contain Rotten Tomatoes data for the film. For some examples, visit Titanic, Black Widow, and Casablanca. RottenBot keeps this info up to date by replacing raw Rotten Tomatoes info in the wikitext with a template (Template:Rotten Tomatoes data) which retrieves the latest Rotten Tomatoes info from Wikidata, while keeping most of the original wikitext intact. In particular, RottenBot stores Rotten Tomatoes info in Wikidata for this template to use.

RottenBot also has a simple flagging system to prevent certain undesirable edits from being made. Flagged edits must be reviewed and cleared by the bot operator in order to be uploaded.

Limitations

The bot does not handle shortened footnote citation styles or link rot if the movie has been removed from Rotten Tomatoes.
