Function overview: Remove pages from Category:Long monitored short pages, Category:Monitored short pages length 901 to 1000, Category:Monitored short pages length 801 to 900, and Category:Monitored short pages length 701 to 800
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): PHP
Source code available:
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Template talk:Short pages monitor#Need to define and possibly rethink this template
Edit period(s): Hourly, after initial run to clear the categories
Estimated number of pages affected: 2600 on initial run, then as needed when short pages become longer
Namespace(s): Mainspace/Articles
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No
Function details: Remove the text added by {{ subst:long comment}} from pages listed in Category:Long monitored short pages; these pages no longer need this text to keep the page off the top of the Special:ShortPages listings. No reason to make this process exclusion compliant.
There is a list of short pages that people monitor regularly. Often one can find vandalism - removing text and replacing with "skahfsakfl" or such - that makes the list, or other junk that makes it past the recent changes patrol. So, when I (and others) go through the list and something is "ok" like a short dab page, we add a long comment so that it doesn't get listed at short pages, so we don't do the same work over and over again. Just making another tool to remove vandalism more efficient for those who use it. Carlossuarez46 17:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
check that the article content is acceptable; a formerly very short article that has grown to more than 900 characters can indicate a mass introduction of text that may not belong.in which the vandalism or bad edit should be reverted rather than removing the long comment. No, my bot doesn't check for this sort of bad edit; it just removes the long comment. I've also seen where editors add the long comment to pages longer than 160 bytes, because they think it's a short page, when it really isn't by the current definition.
Short Pages Monitor pages are no more likely to need cleanup than any other pageand thus there's no rationale for making someone manually clear these categories. – wbm1058 ( talk) 01:26, 1 December 2018 (UTC) reply
