Automatic or Manual: Automatic unsupervised
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: Standard AWB
Function overview: Tagging uncategorized articles
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): This has been done semi-automatic for some time, but I did leave notes at 1, 2, 3 & 4
Edit period(s): As needed
Estimated number of pages affected: Unknown
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details:
It's just an automated version of
this task. The bot will scan for Untagged Uncategorized Articles, and add {{Uncategorized|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}}
to them.
This seems fairly uncontroversial to me, but probably best to wait a bit for any comments. Two questions I do have, though - the instructions you link to have you get the list of articles from a toolserver page. If this is automated & unsupervised, will you still be loading this list manually or have you automated that somehow? Also, will the bot address any of the points raised in the "Hints and tips" section? Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 02:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC) reply

- this should let me find/fix some common errors, like unbalanced brackets or red-link categories. I'll be reviewing these manually, and they'll be pulled out of the bot's list. The second scan will check for foo-stub}}
, and pages found in that scan will get the {{
uncategorized stub}}. The rest will be processed normally.

. (I guess some editors link cats like that while in userspace and forget to unlink them when moving to article space.) Fixed that, and will add it to the initial scan.

replySince this potentially affect loads of pages, could you mark the template with |bot=AvicBot
? Otherwise edits look fine. —

Approved. 1 hour delay is enough, but it's up to you how long you want to wait. If you can implement a 5-10 minute delay since the last-edit, that would be even better. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:20, 23 August 2011 (UTC) reply
