Geograph Update Bot (talk · contribs) (resolution upgrades II)
Operator: Bjh21 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)
Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: To replace low-resolution images from Geograph projects with higher-resolution ones. Many pictures from Geograph on Commons are smaller than the maximum resolution available on Geograph. The bot will only upload a new image if the latest version on Commons is identical to a smaller version on Geograph.
Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic, supervised and unsupervised
Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Occasional manual runs, maybe weekly automatic runs later
Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): 1 edit per minute
Programming language(s): Python (using pywikibot)

This is a replacement for the bot's original permission: Geograph Britain and Ireland has started putting 1024px images on its pages, meaning that people often upload those to Commons rather than the full-resolution versions. This request is to extend the bot's permission to cover upgrading 1024px and other scaled-down images to the full resolution. I've also made some other minor changes: requesting permission for regular unsupervised runs and extending the request to all Geograph projects (though I don't currently intend to go beyond Geograph Britain and Ireland). I'll start a test run in a few minutes. --bjh21 (talk) 22:06, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

- Look fine to me. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
- If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:24, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
