OrlodrimBot

Description

OrlodrimBot is a bot that runs on the French Wikipedia.

This repository contains:

• mwclient + cbl, the framework used the bot (mwclient is the MediaWiki library and cbl is a library of generic functions).
• orlodrimbot, for task-specific code.

Both the framework and the bot are distributed under the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for details.

As a start, the initial version contains the sandbox cleaner. Other tools will be added over time.

Setup

The only dependency of the framework is libcurl (libcurl4-openssl-dev package in Ubuntu/Debian). The bot itself also depends on sqlite (libsqlite3-dev) and re2.

The code is written in C++20. To build the framework library and the bot tools, run:

make

Then, run the tool with --loginfile=<path of the login file>. For instance:
