MOS:DIGITS advises that Digits should be grouped and separated either by commas or by narrow gaps (never a period/full point).
Unfortunately, thousands of editors disagree.
Here are 987 articles beginning with A containing ".000" where not obviously part of a fraction. Some are false positives such as non-English quotes (Hans gewinnt 10.000 €
) and non-obvious fractions (BigCo made $10.000 million
); most are errors. This is not a request for the Herculean task of checking and fixing approximately 25,000 articles, but does anyone have any bright ideas? I've already done a JWB run which fixed a few hundred Euro sums (€12.345,67 → €12,345.67) but I now see a wider issue.

I'm not sure if this is possible, and hopefully not too WP:BOLD. I've got access to AWB, but this task is a bit beyond me at the moment.
This is in two parts:
1. Is it possible to go through all the articles in all the sub-categories of /info/en/?search=Category:Women_scientists (looks like over 600 sub-categories) to list which ones aren't tagged with either {{WikiProject Women scientists}} or {{WPWS}} on the corresponding talk page?
2. Ideally, to then be able to add the {{WikiProject Women scientists}} tag in an appropriate place (i.e. not simply at the top or bottom) on the talk pages. Doesn't matter about setting any of the parameters of the tag.

Hey there, could I please impose upon one of you great volunteers to write me a regex for the following? I want AWB to look at these...:
And turn it into:
or, since I'm not exactly sure what the correct usage of {{ Translation}} is, (and I'm waiting for clarification) this as well, where the content is inside the Translation template.
Just to help with context, in Indian film articles, we often get translations for film titles prefaced incorrectly with "English", when we don't need to be told that obvious English is English. The preference is to indicate that it is a translation, (vs. an official English title) and the content should be formatted in sentence case, not as a title, per MOS:CT. And obviously, I would be monitoring any weird scenarios where a wikilink might not work if it were changed to sentence case.

guards against = signs within the text, but | or other odd characters can break things. Changing uppercase to lowercase can break wikilinks and proper nouns. With some effort we could probably maintain case within wikilinks; proper nouns are harder. Hope that helps,

Originally posted this in the AWB requests for permission, but it's been a few days and I'm not even too sure I'd be able to do it myself if I'm granted permission. I've found a bug in Template:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America such that some articles tagged as part of WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America/Anishinaabe are done so in a way that prevents importance ratings from appearing in the banner on their Talk pages. The issue is that they are tagged with {{NorthAmNative/Anishinaabe|...}} when they should be more appropriately tagged {{NorthAmNative|...|anishinaabe=yes}}. Would someone be able to use AWB to fix the approx 604 articles in /info/en/?search=Category:WikiProject_Anishinaabe_articles that are tagged incorrectly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Hyett ( talk • contribs) 13:16, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

You can see on pages that link to Bloch's theorem, there are many articles that refer to Bloch's theorem with a reference of "Bloch wave". This is due to the unfortunate long-standing title of the article being "Bloch wave". The term "Bloch wave" lacks all semblance of notability, a survey of the literature returns zero references to the term. Terms that are used in textbooks include "Bloch's theorem" for the overall topic, and "Bloch function", "Bloch wavefunction", "Bloch form", and "Bloch state" to refer to the state. The term "Bloch electron", referring specifically to an electron, is also widely used. Talk page discussions Talk:Bloch's theorem#Definition of "Bloch wave" and Talk:Bloch's theorem#Requested move 28 August 2020 contain the background information on the change between the two titles, of which there were no objections, there you will find references to the literature making these points. I have edited a few of the backlinks to fix these references, but the task is repetitive. Is this something AWB can help with? Thanks! Footlessmouse ( talk) 19:02, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering whether there was a plugin or other method that could easily do the following. On my wiki, I have a series of articles, all of which contain an infobox template with an "opened = X" parameter. "X" is always either a date of the form "September 3, YYYY" or simply "YYYY", or it's blank. I would like to append a category link to the end of each article, of the form "[[Category:Places opened in YYYY]]", taking the value from the "opened = " parameter, unless that parameter is blank, in which case it should skip the article. I suppose a solution could either parse the date and extract the "YYYY" year from it, or simply take the last four numerical characters of the line (I wouldn't know which of these is easier to accomplish using AWB). Thank you to anyone who can help, Reschultzed||| Talk||| Contributions 06:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
{{

]] should work for basic operation. It would get more complex if you want to deal with two-digit and four-digit years, different date formats, etc. but that would be the basic idea.

In order for bots, Twinkle and RedWarn to be able to tell whether or not a person has already been warned with a level-n template, the templates need a comment within them, stating which template they are.

Do to an apparent security problem, the part of the <score> element that allows the score to be played through MIDI is currently disabled, and it seems is likely to be so for quite a while. See Help talk:Score#Error message. The display feature is still working; however, if the score is set to allow MIDI, it will display an error message instead of showing the score, so that attribute needs to be commented out, like this, in order for the score to be visible. There are a little over 1000 pages that use this element: they are listed at Special:PagesWithProp/score. Would it be possible using AWB to go through those pages and replace "vorbis" with "%vorbis%" and "vorbis=1" with "%vorbis=1%"? And then if this gets fixed perhaps it could be run in reverse? Or would this be better as a bot request? Thanks. blameless 18:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
{{
score|vorbis=1|foo=bar}}
which discards any vorbis parameter (because Comments in the markup start with a percentage sign % and end at the end of the line) and copies the rest of the verbiage into a <score> tag. Then vorbis can be re-enabled when possible just by having the template treat it like any other parameter. I've tried that idea here but can't get it to work. There may be a timing issue that the score tag is evaluated (and found to be absent) before the template magic happens. Certes ( talk) 22:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Sansoni (publisher) is an old and important Italian publisher, whose page was recently created.
There are hundreds of pages with Cite book templates for works published by Sansoni.
It would be useful to link them to the publisher page.
So my proposal is that a bot should look for instances of {{ Cite book }} where there is one of these parameters:
|publisher=G. C. Sansoni |publisher=G.C. Sansoni |publisher=Sansoni
And replace it respectively with:
|publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]] |publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]] |publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|Sansoni]]
The replace should only be done on the first instance in each page, of course, to avoid excessive wikilinks.

Most transclusions of {{

It's a cosmetic change, so of course please don't start a big run of deleting this parameter from pages, but could the task list for genfixes (or whatever it is that makes code look pretty) be expanded so that AWB will remove this parameter from an article whenever someone's running AWB on a page?

In subcategories of

WikiProject Poultry was taken under the wing of WikiProject Birds and is now Poultry task force. In the process, Chicdat redirected {{ WikiProject Poultry}} to {{ WikiProject Birds}}. This resulted in two main problems. First, many PTF articles now have two WP Bird templates on their talk page. Second, all the parameters such as image requests from the original WP Poultry template are now ignored/lost.
I realize that repopulating Category:Wikipedia requested images of poultry ( 1 ) as opposed to Category:Wikipedia requested images of birds ( 4,771 ) may need some template work that it a little beyond me, but maybe someone can take a look at that as well. Also the quality cats such as Category: C-Class Poultry articles have also been depopulated.
Basically though, i would like a bot to check all talk pages that use {{
WikiProject Poultry}} to check for an instance of {{
WikiProject Birds}}. If so they need to enable |Poultry task force=yes
in the latter. If the poultry template had either |needs-image=yes
or |needs-photo=yes
then these need to be imported into the birds template.

I have access but don't know how to use the regex features. I'd like for someone to convert all U.S. county presidential election results from wikitable markup (such as at Rockland County, New York) into template form using {{ PresHead}}, {{ PresRow}}, and {{ PresFoot}} (such as at Cook County, Illinois). Consensus exists for this change so it is not a "controversial" change that is prohibited by AWB rules. There is currently a Reward Board entry for this task, and anyone who does it will be given an appropriate barnstar.

MOS:DIGITS advises that Digits should be grouped and separated either by commas or by narrow gaps (never a period/full point).
Unfortunately, thousands of editors disagree.
Here are 987 articles beginning with A containing ".000" where not obviously part of a fraction. Some are false positives such as non-English quotes (Hans gewinnt 10.000 €
) and non-obvious fractions (BigCo made $10.000 million
); most are errors. This is not a request for the Herculean task of checking and fixing approximately 25,000 articles, but does anyone have any bright ideas? I've already done a JWB run which fixed a few hundred Euro sums (€12.345,67 → €12,345.67) but I now see a wider issue.

This is in two parts:
1. Is it possible to go through all the articles in all the sub-categories of /info/en/?search=Category:Women_scientists (looks like over 600 sub-categories) to list which ones aren't tagged with either {{WikiProject Women scientists}} or {{WPWS}} on the corresponding talk page?
2. Ideally, to then be able to add the {{WikiProject Women scientists}} tag in an appropriate place (i.e. not simply at the top or bottom) on the talk pages. Doesn't matter about setting any of the parameters of the tag.

Hey there, could I please impose upon one of you great volunteers to write me a regex for the following? I want AWB to look at these...:
And turn it into:
or, since I'm not exactly sure what the correct usage of {{ Translation}} is, (and I'm waiting for clarification) this as well, where the content is inside the Translation template.
Just to help with context, in Indian film articles, we often get translations for film titles prefaced incorrectly with "English", when we don't need to be told that obvious English is English. The preference is to indicate that it is a translation, (vs. an official English title) and the content should be formatted in sentence case, not as a title, per MOS:CT. And obviously, I would be monitoring any weird scenarios where a wikilink might not work if it were changed to sentence case.
Thanks so much for your help! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:10, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

You can see on pages that link to Bloch's theorem, there are many articles that refer to Bloch's theorem with a reference of "Bloch wave". This is due to the unfortunate long-standing title of the article being "Bloch wave". The term "Bloch wave" lacks all semblance of notability, a survey of the literature returns zero references to the term. Terms that are used in textbooks include "Bloch's theorem" for the overall topic, and "Bloch function", "Bloch wavefunction", "Bloch form", and "Bloch state" to refer to the state. The term "Bloch electron", referring specifically to an electron, is also widely used. Talk page discussions Talk:Bloch's theorem#Definition of "Bloch wave" and Talk:Bloch's theorem#Requested move 28 August 2020 contain the background information on the change between the two titles, of which there were no objections, there you will find references to the literature making these points.

Hi, I was wondering whether there was a plugin or other method that could easily do the following. On my wiki, I have a series of articles, all of which contain an infobox template with an "opened = X" parameter. "X" is always either a date of the form "September 3, YYYY" or simply "YYYY", or it's blank. I would like to append a category link to the end of each article, of the form "[[Category:Places opened in YYYY]]", taking the value from the "opened = " parameter, unless that parameter is blank, in which case it should skip the article. I suppose a solution could either parse the date and extract the "YYYY" year from it, or simply take the last four numerical characters of the line (I wouldn't know which of these is easier to accomplish using AWB). Thank you to anyone who can help, Reschultzed||| Talk||| Contributions 06:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
{{

]] should work for basic operation. It would get more complex if you want to deal with two-digit and four-digit years, different date formats, etc. but that would be the basic idea.

Do to an apparent security problem, the part of the <score> element that allows the score to be played through MIDI is currently disabled, and it seems is likely to be so for quite a while. See Help talk:Score#Error message. The display feature is still working; however, if the score is set to allow MIDI, it will display an error message instead of showing the score, so that attribute needs to be commented out, like this, in order for the score to be visible. There are a little over 1000 pages that use this element: they are listed at Special:PagesWithProp/score. Would it be possible using AWB to go through those pages and replace "vorbis" with "%vorbis%" and "vorbis=1" with "%vorbis=1%"? And then if this gets fixed perhaps it could be run in reverse? Or would this be better as a bot request? Thanks. blameless 18:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
{{
score|vorbis=1|foo=bar}}
which discards any vorbis parameter (because Comments in the markup start with a percentage sign % and end at the end of the line) and copies the rest of the verbiage into a <score> tag. Then vorbis can be re-enabled when possible just by having the template treat it like any other parameter. I've tried that idea here but can't get it to work. There may be a timing issue that the score tag is evaluated (and found to be absent) before the template magic happens. Certes ( talk) 22:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Sansoni (publisher) is an old and important Italian publisher, whose page was recently created.
There are hundreds of pages with Cite book templates for works published by Sansoni.
It would be useful to link them to the publisher page.
So my proposal is that a bot should look for instances of {{ Cite book }} where there is one of these parameters:
|publisher=G. C. Sansoni |publisher=G.C. Sansoni |publisher=Sansoni
And replace it respectively with:
|publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]] |publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]] |publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|Sansoni]]
The replace should only be done on the first instance in each page, of course, to avoid excessive wikilinks.

Congo requires special treatment as it's been moved twice; there may be other oddities. Edited for clarity: Certes ( talk) 16:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
I don't know if it has been already requested by somebody else before, but I would ask you if it's possible to add the {{ uncategorized}} to all pages that need that. I've explained that in this discussion. As you can see it, there's an possibility to have an bare database to all articles needing an tagging with the template. I haven't modification rights with AWB in English WP.
Thanks for your answer. -- Anas1712 ( talk) 15:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Following the discussion here we have a list of articles to populate with a category that should be undelete. It was suggested AWB would be helpful here? (Note: the category has not been undeleted yet, so maybe a passing admin here could do so to get us started?). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:51, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject Poultry was taken under the wing of WikiProject Birds and is now Poultry task force. In the process, Chicdat redirected {{ WikiProject Poultry}} to {{ WikiProject Birds}}. This resulted in two main problems. First, many PTF articles now have two WP Bird templates on their talk page. Second, all the parameters such as image requests from the original WP Poultry template are now ignored/lost.
I realize that repopulating Category:Wikipedia requested images of poultry ( 1 ) as opposed to Category:Wikipedia requested images of birds ( 4,771 ) may need some template work that it a little beyond me, but maybe someone can take a look at that as well. Also the quality cats such as Category: C-Class Poultry articles have also been depopulated.
Basically though, i would like a bot to check all talk pages that use {{
WikiProject Poultry}} to check for an instance of {{
WikiProject Birds}}. If so they need to enable |Poultry task force=yes
in the latter. If the poultry template had either |needs-image=yes
or |needs-photo=yes
then these need to be imported into the birds template.
Is this something feasible? -- awkwafaba ( 📥) 15:50, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
Merging WikiProject banners after consensus at TfDwhich makes me feel a bit uneasy doing it without a TfD or BAG confirmation. -- Trialpears ( talk) 17:33, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
I hope AWB is capable of this, I would like to see software related pages have consistent operating system lists, as right now its pretty all over the place. While browsing, I found infobox sorts such as
Celeste
Linux macOS Microsoft Windows Nintendo Switch PlayStation 4 Xbox One Stadia
Hollow Knight
Microsoft Windows macOS Linux Nintendo Switch PlayStation 4 Xbox One
Shovel Knight
Amazon Fire TV Microsoft Windows Nintendo 3DS Nintendo Switch OS X Linux PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 PlayStation Vita Wii U Xbox One
I can identify a few tasks to be done
I hope this is possible, let me know if you have any issues!
Scaledish!
Talkish?
Statish.

Some redirects use {{ R from alternative language}} with only one parameter, e.g. {{ R from alternative language|ja}}, which should be replaced by {{ R from alternative language|ja|en}}. dud hhr Contribs 17:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
I have access but don't know how to use the regex features. I'd like for someone to convert all U.S. county presidential election results from wikitable markup (such as at Rockland County, New York) into template form using {{ PresHead}}, {{ PresRow}}, and {{ PresFoot}} (such as at Cook County, Illinois). Consensus exists for this change so it is not a "controversial" change that is prohibited by AWB rules. There is currently a Reward Board entry for this task, and anyone who does it will be given an appropriate barnstar.
Thanks!

Please tag all of the following articles included in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of names of European cities in different languages:
@ Novem Linguae: Per a previous attempt at WP:BOTREQ, I have taken the issue here and note that I have already posted this list in the AfD, in a collapsible titled "List of sub-lists". How should I clarify this? – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 22:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
