Programming language(s): Python (pywikipedia)
Source code available: Yes
Function overview: Enforcement of WP:NAMB by removing unnecessary hatnotes.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): This task is not believed to be controversial as it merely applies an existing guideline in obvious cases with human oversight.
Notification about BRFA on related talk pages: WikiProject Disambiguation, WT:Hatnote
Edit period(s): Multiple runs as personal time permits until a full pass is complete; periodic re-runs (e.g. fortnightly) thereafter.
Estimated number of pages affected: ~300 (based on 13 edits I would have done to pages starting with A and B and provided letter frequency holds on WP article titles)
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details:
For each page transcluding {{ dablink}} directly or indirectly (thus indicating the use of one of the otheruses templates) and that has parentheses in its title (thus indicating its title is very likely disambiguated, as for example in Tree (set theory)):

Since it sounds like a human will be approving every edit, I don't see why this needs bot approval. But in general I'd like to caution against removing these templates on sight - there may be good reason for them to be there, which the bot operator might not understand. (I know this question has come up in relation to Polish villages, like Przecław, Słupca County (and thousands similar), where to the uninitiated it looks like the otherplaces template is not needed, until you consider that people are likely to arrive at the page by clicking a piped link, and that for many people the disambiguating tag is unlikely to mean very much.)-- Kotniski ( talk) 13:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Why just those pages with parens? Why not every non-primary-topic page listed on a disambiguation page? Josh Parris 13:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC) reply

User:WildBot/dab_template_placer.py - I've just noticed that's the one that's not fully portable. Complain if there are problems, it will be easy enough to fix.
