Mismatch reports for Featured and Good Article lists
- fambot is a bot to create the report at Wikipedia:Featured articles/mismatches.
- gambot is a bot to create the report at Wikipedia:Good articles/mismatches.
What it does[edit]
The section headers and documentation should be self-explanatory.
Technical[edit]
The bot runs from my local computer. It is in GNU awk and uses the WP:BOTWIKIAWK library.

Known trouble points[edit]
- If the bot(s) ever stop working the most likely cause is a change in syntax at Wikipedia:Good articles/all or Wikipedia:Featured articles. The bot parses these pages and expects a certain format. The functions are getlistfaa() and getlistgaa() in fambot.awk and gambot.awk respective.
- If a page name is reported mismatch but otherwise looks exactly the same, check for hidden characters by deleting from the source list (eg. Wikipedia:Featured articles) and manually re-typing - not copy-paste.
