Operator: Jarry1250
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Unsupervised automatic
Programming Language(s): PHP
Function Summary: Checking "___ missing (living people)" to make sure that they are also marked as Living people.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N/A
Function Details: I imagine the process to be such:
Category:Living people is mandatory for all articles about living people, regardless of whether they have Category:Year of birth missing (living people) (etc.) or not. However, some articles in the latter are not in the former, when they should be. A nice, easy task for a bot to do I would think.
Okay, so this is my new area for improvement. I realise that my last application was a bit too tricky for a bot to handle, so I've drawn up a completely new proposal. Older discussion is hidden below if anyone wants it. - Jarry1250 ( t, c) 19:57, 10 January 2009 (UTC) reply
Have you considered using the m:Toolserver? A simple query told me that 1055 out of 37385 pages in Category:Year of birth missing (living people) are not in Category:Living people. I listed those at tools:~erwin85/dbq/enwiki livingbot.txt. -- Erwin(85) 21:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC) reply
Sounds like a great idea. Simple, but important. Debresser ( talk) 00:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC) reply
Approved. Looks good, although you might want to consider copying the sortkey from the
Category:Year of birth missing (living people) (if any) unless DEFAULTSORT is present on the page.
