Document Bot Creation Example

[stuppie]

Make an example of a bot that reads data from a CSV and makes edits.

It should do all of the following:

Cooperate with others

• Not overwrite existing labels, descriptions, aliases (unless they are blank, or a default value)
• Not overwrite existing claims that others have added
• It should overwrite existing claims when you want a claim to be updated

Properly maintain items

• Automatically merge items that are redirected
• Automatically submit for deletion deprecated items

Model data

• Add references to all claims, probably making use of PMIDtool, or the edition item creator

Run autonomously

• Be able to run in Fast-run mode, so it can run on a schedule
• Log all errors to a file

Documented

• It should be well documented
• Hosted on PAWS, and linked to here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Creating_a_bot
• https://github.com/SuLab/GeneWikiCentral/issues/23

Made an example here: http://paws-public.wmflabs.org/paws-public/46883698/example%20ema%20bot.ipynb It does not hit all of these bullet points, but demonstrates a good portion of WDI functionality.

Could add another example using the PubmedItem tool also
