Time filed: 19:19, Wednesday September 5, 2012 ( UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Manual followed by automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: AWB source code
Function overview: Add {{ WikiProject University of Pennsylvania}} to a large number of articles (2218)
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Discussion took place at User talk:Dthomsen8#UPenn. Discussion only took between the two most active members of the five in the WikiProject; however, all members were invited and none responded within 1 week. None of them have been active (more than 5 edits) within the past month. The task is uncontroversial as it only affects internal categorization
Edit period(s): One time run, may possibly take in chunks
Estimated number of pages affected: 2218
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: The bot will add {{
WikiProject University of Pennsylvania|class=|importance=}}
to all of the articles listed at
User:Ryan Vesey/University of Pennsylvania. The bot will not fill the empty parameters. I currently have no intention of placing the template within {{
WikiProjectBannerShell}} if the shell exists on the page; however, if someone has an idea as to how that can be done, I would be more than happy to do it that way. My initial few edits will be done manually to ensure there are no bugs and then I will switch to bot mode.
Adding the WikiProject banner to {{
WikiProjectBannerShell}}
if it exists may not be difficult, and I'd vastly prefer it if the bot did this rather than leaving an outlying WikiProject banner for a human contributor to clean up. You could try the Perl-compatible regular expression
here; it's five years old but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't still work. Cheers, —

It's easy. I bet you try to append the text in the talk page, right? you should load this script to the custom module: User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects to normalise the WikiProject names and AWB's general fixes will add the template in WPBS automatically. You only need a single run for each page. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 22:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC) reply
I like the idea someone will try to add this with AWB. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 22:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC) reply

ArticleText = "{{WikiProject University of Pennsylvania}} \r\n" + ArticleText;. And tell me what happens. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 16:44, 22 September 2012 (UTC) reply
Trial complete. Everything I've looked through is fine unless anyone has any concerns with the two edits I pointed to above.
