Deactivate Hebrew and Portuguese CopyPatrols
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

It's broken and has never really been used. As far as I know, there's never been an actual request for it. If someone actually wants to use it, maybe we can fix it instead.

Apparently, IThenticate has provisionally given us some more credits, so we can restart the bot.

This might be a good time to tackle T178643 as well (although I'm not sure if that actually affects the number of searches performed).

The bot currently run with the following wikis: frwiki, cswiki, enwiki, eswiki.
ptwiki and hewiki are not running on regular basis, hence doesnt consume credits. Going over reviewed cases, looks like enwiki/frwiki /cswiki are actively patrolled while eswiki is monitored only by " Community Tech bot " - so we probably would like to either promote it so eswiki users will use this tool, or disable it if they find it not useful.

@Johan Do you think you could post something on the eswiki village pump about this? We can give it a week to see if someone still wants to use it else we can stop patrolling eswiki edits for copyright violations.

Sure. I'll take care of it.

(Possibly in a couple of days, preparing for All Hands travel right now.)

@Niharika The general eswiki respons was "hey, this is cool, we'd like to use it, were not aware it existed".

@Johan Thanks. Let's keep it for another month and re-evaluate if they're still using it.

The dropdown list still shows those two in the app but the cached list will expire in less than a week. I didn't find a handy way to get Slim to clear that cache unfortunately. Shouldn't be a problem though.
