Automatic or Manual: Automatic unsupervised
Programming language(s): PHP
Source code available: Not currently
Function overview: Tags and removes tags from articles based on whether they should have the {{ dablinks}} template.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links#Dablinks update and proposal
Edit period(s): Twice daily
Estimated number of pages affected: 238 pages on first run; after that, somewhere around 5/day
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N):
Function details:The {{ dablinks}} template was introduced to tag articles with an "excessive" number of disambig links, which at the time was defined as linking to 25+ disambigs. When the template was introduced, there were 300 such articles; now there are six. I've proposed to lower the "excessive" threshold to 15 dablinks, and to do the tagging/de-tagging with a bot so I no longer have to do it manually. This would affect 238 articles on the first run. The bot, which queries and submits via the API, would make no edit when an edit conflict occurs or if max lag is greater than 5 seconds; it would just wait until the next scheduled run and try again.
A few questions:

So... are we ready for a trial? -- JaGa talk 16:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (30 tags and 30 de-tags). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Please use a descriptive edit summary, especially mentioning the threshold when removing the {tl|dablinks}}, because I suspect most editor don't know of the 25+ (now 15+) recommendation. If I were you, I would remove tags only when the dab links are at <10 if you use 15+ to add {{
dablinks}}, to prevent removing too many manually added ones. —
