Automatic or Manually Assisted: Lists of target articles and categories generated with the assistance of AWB. Edits to be performed automatically after lists manually checked.
Programming Language(s): AWB
Function Summary: Tagging the talk pages of categories and articles with tags which identify the articles and categories as being within the scope of a particular WikiProject. Tagging will be done only on the basis of an explicit consensus at the WikiProject's talk page for the precise task in hand. The initial scope of the bot is {{ WikiProject Ireland}}, and I will seek further approval before offering its services to any other WikiProjects.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): A series of lengthy initial runs to tag the 20,000 untagged articles within the scope of WikiProject Ireland, to be completed in stages with reviews in between (this may take a week or more). Further runs at infrequent points in future to tag new articles.
Edit rate requested: I am unsure what rate to set, so I will use AWB's delay function to limit the edit rate as advised here. The task involved is not urgent, so a generous delay would be fine.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: To identify whether the talk page of an existing article or category is already tagged with {{ WikiProject Ireland}} or one of its aliases, and if so to add a tag with all parameters blank except those which identify the page as a category. There is one exception to this articles in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Ireland stubs will be tagged as stub class.
The reason task requests are left open for a reasonable amount time is to garner discussion such as that above, and to evaluate consensus. That having been done, I think this task is ready for a trial, as long as you know by which means you are going to perform it (which was somewhat fuzzy above). Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — madman bum and angel 05:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC) reply
Speaking as a contributor, I'd greatly prefer it were WikiProject banners be added to any existing {{ WikiProjectBanners}} or {{ WikiProjectBannerShell}} transclusions. Have you planned for this at all? I'm not sure if Kingboyk's plugin does this. — madman bum and angel 05:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC) reply
Thanks to Reedy Boy for enabling BHGbot. I have now completed the trial run of 50 edits, in two batches of 25 as follows:
I'm not sure of the procedure now, but I presume that the trial run will be reviewed. In the hope that full approval may be forthcoming, I will post on BHGbot's pages details of the first substantive jobs planned for if and when the bot gets full approval (with links here when the job lists are complete). -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC) reply
