Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually started and supervised when running, performs edits automatically.
Programming Language(s): Uses Wikipedia:AWB with autosave function
Function Overview: Adds the "listas" parameter to instances of Template:WPBiography so that talk pages on which it appears are sorted in accordance with Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category.
Edit period(s): continuous, as needed
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: I've developed regular expressions suitable to perform this task for many articles in AWB, and an effective means by which to avoid the articles for which the application of the expressions would not produce correct results. Example AWB edits made in this manner are [1] [2] [3]. Making substantial progress in this task, however, requires use of the AWB autosave function, available only to approved bots, and an edit rate which would not be appropriate for sustained use on an account without a bot flag. The AWB application would be under operator supervision at all times when running.
Approved. Looks fine to me. Richard 0612 21:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC) reply
