There are various bots which, as part of their operation, count the number of articles in a category and do something with the result. Would it be possible for a bot to be created which would accept requests for counting? That is, the bot userspace contains a list of categories, which can be added to by any user. When the bot is run, each category is counted and the results recorded in the same or another page. If someone can create/modify a bot to do this, I can add template code to the page to enable the results to be called by templates. Happy‑ melon 15:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I would like for a bot to be created that would simply send a message to a new user, to remind them to create a Userpage. This is because some of the new pages are made by new users, who have talk and contribution pages but not User pages. If they don't have this then you will not be able to learn more about them!

Hi,
I have an idea for a new bot, this is a bot that searches through pages, looking for any words that link to other wikipedia articles. For example, a Wikipedia tutorial has been created by a user, it mentions IRC, the bot would then search that, find the keyword IRC and link it to the article regarding IRC.... what do you think?

Alas, Wikipedia isn't that semantic. But there is a tool that suggests links, which you may or may not add: User:Nickj/Can We Link It. Gracenotes T § 21:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
This is just an idea. It could be possible to create a bot for automatic wikification of WP pages. The bot would make a search across the names of WP articles to find an exact match and mark the found term with the squared parentheses. To avoid excessive wikilinking it would do the following:
So, what do you think? I think such bot could be very important because wikilinking is main advantage of WP compare to other resources/databases. Biophys 17:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering if a bot could compile all the articles about municipalities of Norway into a list which sorts the articles by size. It would look something like this:
mun | size |
---|---|
Andøy | 4.5 KB |
Asker | 6.5 KB |
...... | and so on |
I would like to have the list in my user space, for instance at User:Punkmorten/Municipalities of Norway by article size.
The articles, 431 in total, can be found in the following categories: Category:Municipalities of Akershus Category:Municipalities of Aust-Agder Category:Municipalities of Buskerud Category:Municipalities of Finnmark Category:Municipalities of Hedmark Category:Municipalities of Hordaland Category:Municipalities of Østfold Category:Municipalities of Møre og Romsdal Category:Municipalities of Nord-Trøndelag Category:Municipalities of Nordland Category:Municipalities of Oppland Category:Municipalities of Rogaland Category:Municipalities of Sogn og Fjordane Category:Municipalities of Sør-Trøndelag Category:Municipalities of Telemark Category:Municipalities of Troms Category:Municipalities of Vest-Agder Category:Municipalities of Vestfold as well as Oslo. Hope this is possible. Thanks, Punkmorten 12:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
A specialised archiving bot would be a great thing. It could scan the page for sections tagged as {{ resolved}} / {{ stale}} for 7 days without follow-ups and then auto-archive those sections. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to write a bot myself. I dorftrottel I talk I 22:50, December 2, 2007

I intend to adjust (possibly collapse into a single one) the Year-specific Compact TOC ({{ C20YearTOC}} and variation), and the "notes" default header will go for "references". Although that header is almost always empty, it would Still be better titled as "references", and so there is a need to replace the level 2 header "Notes" with "References" in all 20th-century year articles.

There are many pieces of text that break autoformatting. For example:
Editors keep adding these invalid formats due to understandable confusion about putting brackets around dates. They are created faster than they can fixed by routine editing. The errors are difficult for a human to detect but easy for a machine. Several people, including me, have script to address these (e.g. see my monobook script) but they are not quick enough to cope. However, a high speed bot is needed to keep up with the constant creation of these errors. Is anyone willing to create a bot for it? Lightmouse ( talk) 11:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I've recently created a template that I am still testing. The point of this template is to list redirects that link to a section of the article. That way, if the section name is changed, the template can be checked in order to see if a redirect went to the section that was renamed. Anyone up for that? Can someone else also check the template cause this is my first time really making one from scratch. The Placebo Effect ( talk) 19:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I have run into a small issue with this bot, and would like to discuss a very easy solution. During the approval, it was mentioned that the bot would replace fair use images outside of article space, using Image:Example.jpg, but I don't think that anyone considered the ramifications of this.
What has happened over the past week, is that over 500 pages now have that "test image" on them, ranging from Featured Article supages, portals, infoboxes (transcluded to multiple mainspace articles) templates, navigation templates, and userboxes.
I do not disagree that fair use images should be removed, but replacing them with example.jpg is causing many pages to have a very unprofessional look, and I would like to request that the bot's regex (as seen here) be modified, and instead, the fair use images be replaced with Image:Pix.gif, which is a single pixel, invisible image, that would not disrupt mainspace.
Before this bot began, Example.jpg had 10-20 links at a time, and was an easy way to monitor testing by newcomers, and to monitor vandalism. Now, if you go take a look at the links, there is an extreme amount of cleanup work that is needed, to remove the test image from so many different pages and templates. Simply changing the regex to use the invisible image would solve this issue, and with some work, the Example.jpg page can get back to normal. I discussed this with Cobi briefly via IRC in the bot channel, and he agreed that would be an easy, and non-disruptive solution. It also may be worth evaluating if template space should be left alone, as the templates that use fair use images (such as military logos, [2] and navigation templates, etc.,) are transcluded into article space, and justifies their use. I look forward to input from others, and thank you for attention to this matter. Ariel ♥ Gold 01:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
New bot idea/request... a bot that archives the Help Desk every day, as it gets FAR TOO LONG everyday, if users have slow computers, it takes too long to load.

If you click on the ninth icon (from the left) in the edit toolbar, you get the following text:
<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>
which is visible in articles as
Insert non-formatted text here
A google search turns up 5,970 Wikipedia pages with "Insert non-formatted text here" in them. Many are in userspace, and many have been reverted, but an large percentage of articles that I just checked had edits at least a couple of days old, unreverted.
It would be great to have a bot that would revert such edits immediately, and put a note on the editor's talk page that test edits should be done in the sandbox.
And yes, I know there are other phrases that come from the toolbar, such as "Insert footnote text here" (in 20 articles, oddly enough; shouldn't actually be visible to Google), but the "no-formatted text" one seems to be a bigee. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
<sup>Superscript text</sup><nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>
, you'll get something like <sup><nowiki>Superscript text</nowiki></sup>
. For this reason, a bot probably couldn't remove testing that well. I have a Java program that screen scrapes through articles, looking for multiple
regular expressions – perhaps I could post lists onwiki of affected articles so that editors can go through the lists and clean them up.

WP: was recently made a redirect of Wikipedia:, causing any template with the syntax {{WP:FOO}} to no longer transclude Template:WP:FOO but instead to transclude Wikipedia:FOO. All templates beginning with WP: need to be moved from Template:WP:FOO to Template:WP FOO and the transclusions on the actual pages need to be fixed by a bot. List available here. Some of the transclusions have been fixed manually; probably wouldn't be the worst idea to still move those templates and update the transclusions as well....

For inline references, I think the reference is supposed to occur after adjacent punctuation marks and without a space in between.

We could use a bot at WP:ACC, that perhaps could query the database for maybe the top 5-10 top hits in antispoof, to aid us in creating new accounts.
For instance, say, a user requests
User:One, and, MW returns that it's similar to
User:ONE, as the first hit. MW does NOT return,
User:0ne, whom may well be an established editor. Neither would
Special:Listusers/One. We could really use a bot, that would use the antispoof patterns, and, return what users are similar, using {{
ACC|s|user|X edits: Last edit made on XX/XX/XXXX}}
. Just 5-10 would suffice. (see:

Just saw that people at Template:ArticleHistory/Deprecation think that it would be useful to have a bot convert instances of some of the templates that people add to an article's talk regarding its history into {{ ArticleHistory}}, in such a way that the bot would just go through and regularize the simpler-input templates that ArticleHistory kind-of-deprecates into the better-practice template that it is. The idea, I suppose, would be to run it once a week or something. I'm just handing along the message, this is clearly a bot-compatible task. Nihiltres{ t. l} 01:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

- just writing a function to standardise the dozen or so possible date formats is giving me a headache! My indended startpoint is a list formed from an
intersection of
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:ArticleHistory and
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GA, etc - pages which contain articlehistory and other templates. Once that list's cleared I'd work more intersections to find pages with more than one content template. Finally, pages with only one content template to be converted are, as you say, only barely worth the effort, but I'd probably be on a roll by then, so if I ever get there I might as well go the whole hog :D

This is a request for a bot to clean up incorrect usage of "ref" tags in conjunction with URLs. For instance, sometimes people add the following reference: <ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.google.com Google<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This results in the following: Some statement. [1]
As you can see, this is not helpful at all. Because of the opening and closing brackets, we have a reference that simply shows [1]. If the user had added the website correctly (<ref name=autogenerated1 />, without the brackets), the reference would show correctly. [1]
Thus, this request is for a bot to find instances where the REF tag displays a URL number and fix it. My guess is that there are several thousand of these. Timneu22 ( talk) 15:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[ ] < > " \s
for the regular [http:// ] style. For the visible link is a bit more complicated, not . , \\ : ; ? ! [ ] < > " \s
with a special case for ( )
where they much appear in pairs. A further complication is the way MediaWiki handle the bold (''') and italics ('') where transformed to their HTML equivalents and then does the link parsing. I propose the follow AWB regex:Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*> *)(http|https|ftp)://([^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]+[^\.,\\:;\?!\[\]<>"\s\(\)'])( *</ref>) Replace: $1[$2://$3]$4
Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*>) *\[(http|https|ftp)://([^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]+[^\.,\\:;\?!\[\]<>"\s\(\)']) *\] *(</ref>) Replace: $1 $2://$3 $4
Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*> *\[(http|https|ftp)://([^/]*?|)([^./]*)\.([^/\d]{2,6})(/[^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]*)) *(\] *</ref>) Replace: $1 <!--autotitle:-->$4.$5$7
Including a "raw" URL can break the reference section by extending the screen too much (especially with two columns). It would be better to make the title of the URL its HTML <title>, rather than simply display the full URL (http:// and all).

WikiProject College football recently decided to eliminate the importance rating from the project tag on the talk page. As part of this, we would like to remove the "|importance=(low|mid|high|top|<empty>)" part from the talk page to help prevent confusion from people that may think this functionality still works, and prevent any articles from being warred over that "it should be high/it should be mid" when it doesn't even matter anymore. We have 9000+ articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Assessment that should be checked. This would be a one-time run.

Template:Aircontent currently includes "See also" material, as well as a navbox: Template:Aviation lists.

To do this, we'd need a bot to replace every instance of {{aircontent}} with {{aircontent}} {{aviation lists}} and "Related content" with "See also". Who's got the bot for the job if we decide to proceed? -- Rlandmann ( talk) 00:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
There have been repeated complaints about the length of the noticeboards, esp. by dial-up users and others with a slow connection, see here for more. My idea was to have an abridged page, something like Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard (abridged) that would transclude WP:AN. A set of <noinclude> tags would then be used on WP:AN, and all a bot would need to be able to do is move the </noinclude> tag according to the number of H2 headers; the opening <noinclude> tag would stay fixed at the top of the page. I would guess the abridged version would contain about 8 H2's. Any thoughts? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 13:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible to get a bot to replace indented and italic text at the top of pages, like:
:''This article is about X, for Y, see [[Z]]''
with the appropriate dablink template (in this case {{ otheruses4}}, but there's a number of different ones):
{{otheruses4|X|Y|Z}}
The templates use a div with a css style class to indent, so make Wikipedia a bit more skinnable. This is really quite low priority, but if this can be given to a bot which is already doing something similar it would be a good thing to do. -- h2g2bob ( talk) 16:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Currently, there is confusing use of three templates for the different Dictionary of Australian Biography and Australian Dictionary of Biography. Up to now, the {{Tl|Australian Dictionary of Biography}} redirected to {{Tl|Dictionary of Australian Biography}}. I have now replaced the redirect with source code plus a warning sign asking to replace "{{Australian Dictionary of Biography|" with "{{Dictionary of Australian Biography|"! Thus, I request that a bot does this, even though less than 50 articles are affected, and one could handle this manually.
The next step though, a move of {{Tl|ADB}} to {{Tl|Australian Dictionary of Biography}}, involves hundreds of articles. See [[Template talk:ADB]] and related talk.-- Matthead DisOuß 08:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I've run across a couple of fair-use images that were being used in the userspace, usually by accident of someone who created an article in the userspace adn then copy/paste moved it, or who don't know our general policy against non-free media outside the mainspace. I'd like a bot that could scan the fair-use/non-free image categories and pick up file-links to non-mainspace pages, and then add a cleanup category/template. I know nothing of programming, but do use AWB and would be willing to learn how to run it under another interface (and bot-username), if a more experienced user could code it. Thanks.

I would request that articles in the following categories be tagged with the appropriate version of {{ WikiProject Melanesia}}. In the event that an article appears in more than grouping, I would request that the appropriate work group tags be added to a single banner, if possible.
Finally, please add this code {{WikiProject Melanesia|class=|importance=}} on pages which do not already have the banner on pages in the categories below.
This is being asked out of ignorance on my part. Do the bots you all operate have the facility to just add a specific term to an existing banner as well, provided it isn't already there? Like the national group tags above? There are going to be a few more multi-national tagging requests in the near future, and it would be useful to know. Thanks again.

This one's reeeeeeaaly simple, but I'd like it added to a bot that runs continuously rather than MelonBot, which is decidedly on-and-off. Wikipedia:TFD/T is supposed to be a shortcut for "Templates for deletion/Today", and so currently points to Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 January 7. I'd very much like this to be bot updated to always point to the current day's TfD archive. The archives are named very systematically (four-digit-year, full-spelt-month, date-unpadded), so this should be an absolute doddle to add to any suitable bot. I've tried using variables in the redirect path, but it doesn't work for some reason. Any chance of this being done?? Happy‑ melon 21:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, following this discussion, I've come here to see if anyone can help. Essentially, I was wondering if there was a way to be notified if any article tagged by a certain WikiProject has a cleanup tag added to it? From this, ideally it would be great to be able to make an automatic to-do list - the problem at the moment is that cleanup tags are being added to articles and no one knows about it until they happen to come across the article. Any help or ideas would be great. Many thanks, Seaserpent85 14:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

There are various bots which, as part of their operation, count the number of articles in a category and do something with the result. Would it be possible for a bot to be created which would accept requests for counting? That is, the bot userspace contains a list of categories, which can be added to by any user. When the bot is run, each category is counted and the results recorded in the same or another page. If someone can create/modify a bot to do this, I can add template code to the page to enable the results to be called by templates. Happy‑ melon 15:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I would like for a bot to be created that would simply send a message to a new user, to remind them to create a Userpage. This is because some of the new pages are made by new users, who have talk and contribution pages but not User pages. If they don't have this then you will not be able to learn more about them!

Hi,
I have an idea for a new bot, this is a bot that searches through pages, looking for any words that link to other wikipedia articles. For example, a Wikipedia tutorial has been created by a user, it mentions IRC, the bot would then search that, find the keyword IRC and link it to the article regarding IRC.... what do you think?

Alas, Wikipedia isn't that semantic. But there is a tool that suggests links, which you may or may not add: User:Nickj/Can We Link It. Gracenotes T § 21:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
This is just an idea. It could be possible to create a bot for automatic wikification of WP pages. The bot would make a search across the names of WP articles to find an exact match and mark the found term with the squared parentheses. To avoid excessive wikilinking it would do the following:
So, what do you think? I think such bot could be very important because wikilinking is main advantage of WP compare to other resources/databases. Biophys 17:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering if a bot could compile all the articles about municipalities of Norway into a list which sorts the articles by size. It would look something like this:

I intend to adjust (possibly collapse into a single one) the Year-specific Compact TOC ({{ C20YearTOC}} and variation), and the "notes" default header will go for "references". Although that header is almost always empty, it would Still be better titled as "references", and so there is a need to replace the level 2 header "Notes" with "References" in all 20th-century year articles.

There are many pieces of text that break autoformatting. For example:
Editors keep adding these invalid formats due to understandable confusion about putting brackets around dates. They are created faster than they can fixed by routine editing. The errors are difficult for a human to detect but easy for a machine. Several people, including me, have script to address these (e.g. see my monobook script) but they are not quick enough to cope. However, a high speed bot is needed to keep up with the constant creation of these errors. Is anyone willing to create a bot for it? Lightmouse ( talk) 11:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I've recently created a template that I am still testing. The point of this template is to list redirects that link to a section of the article.

Can someone else also check the template cause this is my first time really making one from scratch. The Placebo Effect ( talk) 19:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I have run into a small issue with this bot, and would like to discuss a very easy solution. During the approval, it was mentioned that the bot would replace fair use images outside of article space, using Image:Example.jpg, but I don't think that anyone considered the ramifications of this.
What has happened over the past week, is that over 500 pages now have that "test image" on them, ranging from Featured Article supages, portals, infoboxes (transcluded to multiple mainspace articles) templates, navigation templates, and userboxes.
I do not disagree that fair use images should be removed, but replacing them with example.jpg is causing many pages to have a very unprofessional look, and I would like to request that the bot's regex (as seen here) be modified, and instead, the fair use images be replaced with Image:Pix.gif, which is a single pixel, invisible image, that would not disrupt mainspace.
Before this bot began, Example.jpg had 10-20 links at a time, and was an easy way to monitor testing by newcomers, and to monitor vandalism. Now, if you go take a look at the links, there is an extreme amount of cleanup work that is needed, to remove the test image from so many different pages and templates. Simply changing the regex to use the invisible image would solve this issue, and with some work, the Example.jpg page can get back to normal. I discussed this with Cobi briefly via IRC in the bot channel, and he agreed that would be an easy, and non-disruptive solution. It also may be worth evaluating if template space should be left alone, as the templates that use fair use images (such as military logos, [2] and navigation templates, etc.,) are transcluded into article space, and justifies their use. I look forward to input from others, and thank you for attention to this matter. Ariel ♥ Gold 01:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
New bot idea/request... a bot that archives the Help Desk every day, as it gets FAR TOO LONG everyday, if users have slow computers, it takes too long to load.
What do you think, if you decline, can you give me the name of the user that should archive the help desk, so that I can bug them to archive it :).

If you click on the ninth icon (from the left) in the edit toolbar, you get the following text:
<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>
which is visible in articles as
Insert non-formatted text here
A google search turns up 5,970 Wikipedia pages with "Insert non-formatted text here" in them. Many are in userspace, and many have been reverted, but an large percentage of articles that I just checked had edits at least a couple of days old, unreverted.
It would be great to have a bot that would revert such edits immediately, and put a note on the editor's talk page that test edits should be done in the sandbox.
And yes, I know there are other phrases that come from the toolbar, such as "Insert footnote text here" (in 20 articles, oddly enough; shouldn't actually be visible to Google), but the "no-formatted text" one seems to be a bigee. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
<sup>Superscript text</sup><nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>
, you'll get something like <sup><nowiki>Superscript text</nowiki></sup>
. For this reason, a bot probably couldn't remove testing that well. I have a Java program that screen scrapes through articles, looking for multiple
regular expressions – perhaps I could post lists onwiki of affected articles so that editors can go through the lists and clean them up.

T § 02:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)WikiProject Greater Manchester is gearing up for article assessment. Is there a bot that could check the talk pages of all articles in Category:Greater Manchester and its child categories, inserting {{WikiProject Greater Manchester|importance=|class=}} where that template is absent?
I've had a reasonably good look through all of the subcategories, and found only three which have non-Manchester content in them:
In the event of false positives, their categorisation as unclassed will lead in due course to a manual inspection & hence rectification. Thanks in advance. -- Tagishsimon (talk) 01:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

This is an almost exacting request per the above (for Greater Manchester) but for WikiProject UK Geography (I've just learned of this page and how effective the work is!)
Could a bot be developed/tasked with the objective of checking the talk pages of all articles in Category:Geography of the United Kingdom and Category:Environment of the United Kingdom and their child categories, inserting {{WPUKgeo|importance=|class=}} where that template is absent? The main subcategory the project would benefit from would be Category:Settlements in the United Kingdom, if there is some problem (such as time or scale) with targetting the others.
I hope this would be possible! Thanks in advance, -- Jza84 · ( talk) 21:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
WP: was recently made a redirect of Wikipedia:, causing any template with the syntax {{WP:FOO}} to no longer transclude Template:WP:FOO but instead to transclude Wikipedia:FOO. All templates beginning with WP: need to be moved from Template:WP:FOO to Template:WP FOO and the transclusions on the actual pages need to be fixed by a bot. List available here. Some of the transclusions have been fixed manually; probably wouldn't be the worst idea to still move those templates and update the transclusions as well.... Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 08:37, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
For inline references, I think the reference is supposed to occur after adjacent punctuation marks and without a space in between. Frequently, a reference occurs after a punctuation mark but with a space between the two, or alternatively, before the punctuation mark. A bot that could correct this or incorporate this into it's current functions would be nice. -- Seans Potato Business 10:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm just throwing this out there, but would it be possible to create a bot that would fix commas in articles when they are used,like,this?

We could use a bot at WP:ACC, that perhaps could query the database for maybe the top 5-10 top hits in antispoof, to aid us in creating new accounts.
For instance, say, a user requests
User:One, and, MW returns that it's similar to
User:ONE, as the first hit. MW does NOT return,
User:0ne, whom may well be an established editor. Neither would
Special:Listusers/One. We could really use a bot, that would use the antispoof patterns, and, return what users are similar, using {{
ACC|s|user|X edits: Last edit made on XX/XX/XXXX}}
. Just 5-10 would suffice. (see:

I'd like to see a bot that would go through articles under peer review and calculate word counts and SMOG grades (and possibly other statistics as well), excluding things that Wikipedia:Article length does not count as "readable prose". These would then be presented -- along with the revision number from which they were last taken -- on the peer reviews. It could also add comments such as the following:

Just saw that people at Template:ArticleHistory/Deprecation think that it would be useful to have a bot convert instances of some of the templates that people add to an article's talk regarding its history into {{ ArticleHistory}}, in such a way that the bot would just go through and regularize the simpler-input templates that ArticleHistory kind-of-deprecates into the better-practice template that it is. The idea, I suppose, would be to run it once a week or something. I'm just handing along the message, this is clearly a bot-compatible task. Nihiltres{ t. l} 01:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
:D
- just writing a function to standardise the dozen or so possible date formats is giving me a headache! My indended startpoint is a list formed from an
intersection of
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:ArticleHistory and
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GA, etc - pages which contain articlehistory and other templates. Once that list's cleared I'd work more intersections to find pages with more than one content template. Finally, pages with only one content template to be converted are, as you say, only barely worth the effort, but I'd probably be on a roll by then, so if I ever get there I might as well go the whole hog :D

Could someone make a bot to correct the misspelling of "musical" as "musicial". There are at least 17 such misspellings on Wikipedia at present.

Might i suggest the BasicBot BasicBot library, it comes with basic tutorials for a PHP Bot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pi ( talk • contribs) 23:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
The pywikipedia framework seems to be a favorite and it comes with a basic.py which has plenty of comments. However for most task I use AWB which is similar to a bot but doesn't have condition (no if statements). You'll need to learn regular expression either way thought. — Dispenser ( talk) 06:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
This is a request for a bot to clean up incorrect usage of "ref" tags in conjunction with URLs. For instance, sometimes people add the following reference: <ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.google.com Google<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This results in the following: Some statement. [1]
As you can see, this is not helpful at all. Because of the opening and closing brackets, we have a reference that simply shows [1]. If the user had added the website correctly (<ref name=autogenerated1 />, without the brackets), the reference would show correctly. [1]
Thus, this request is for a bot to find instances where the REF tag displays a URL number and fix it. My guess is that there are several thousand of these. Timneu22 ( talk) 15:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[ ] < > " \s
for the regular [http:// ] style. For the visible link is a bit more complicated, not . , \\ : ; ? ! [ ] < > " \s
with a special case for ( )
where they much appear in pairs. A further complication is the way MediaWiki handle the bold (''') and italics ('') where transformed to their HTML equivalents and then does the link parsing. I propose the follow AWB regex:Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*> *)(http|https|ftp)://([^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]+[^\.,\\:;\?!\[\]<>"\s\(\)'])( *</ref>) Replace: $1[$2://$3]$4
Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*>) *\[(http|https|ftp)://([^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]+[^\.,\\:;\?!\[\]<>"\s\(\)']) *\] *(</ref>) Replace: $1 $2://$3 $4
Find (regex, case insensitive): (<ref[^</>]*> *\[(http|https|ftp)://([^/]*?|)([^./]*)\.([^/\d]{2,6})(/[^\[\]<>'"\(\)\s]*)) *(\] *</ref>) Replace: $1 <!--autotitle:-->$4.$5$7
Including a "raw" URL can break the reference section by extending the screen too much (especially with two columns). It would be better to make the title of the URL its HTML <title>, rather than simply display the full URL (http:// and all).

Category:Gaelic games by year.{{WP India|class=Cat|politics=yes}}
to the talk pages of the subcategories of

Got a few requests here, one of which would probably be a brand new bot.
BC, it doesn't appear that a lot of the articles got tagged. Not sure why. I started going through my list again with AWB and have tagged 70 additional articles and I'm still only in the Fs. I have exported a list of articles to go through at User:Nmajdan/Test. Of course, most of these should be tagged but there are obviously some that are not. Can you have your bot go through this list and tag articles with {{WikiProject College football|class=}} and then rerun the bot to assess the articles that already have another rating.

WikiProject College football recently decided to eliminate the importance rating from the project tag on the talk page. As part of this, we would like to remove the "|importance=(low|mid|high|top|<empty>)" part from the talk page to help prevent confusion from people that may think this functionality still works, and prevent any articles from being warred over that "it should be high/it should be mid" when it doesn't even matter anymore. We have 9000+ articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Assessment that should be checked. This would be a one-time run. No hurry in completion, editing 2/minute for several nights for several days would be perfectly fine. Should not start for a week (Jan 10) to allow any project members to object at the last second.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Somerset has 1659 assessed pages with class and importance ratings. Due to my initial stupidity some of these have {{ Somerset}} which was later converted, by someone wiser to {{ WikiProject Somerset}}. Would it be possible for a bot to convert {{ Somerset}} to {{ WikiProject Somerset}} without affecting the class & importance ratings (or the nesting of project banners) on article talk pages? I would like at a later date to create a template for the county using Template:County with the title Template:Somerset in line with other counties in England eg Template:Greater Manchester, Template:Warwickshire, Template:Cheshire, Template:Cumbria, Template:Merseyside, Template:Lancashire, Template:Wiltshire. I can't do that at present because the name is taken & I don't want to just delete the current template as this would affect over 1000 articles & mean a lot of work.

Automatic listing of RFC appears to be broken. See all of the complaints at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comments. My own listing for Chocolate Thai appears to be tagged just as it should be, but several hours later, it hasn't been listed. If the bot is up, but it takes several hours to be listed, then RFC policy should be changed to allow manual tagging.
I've heard that this is all largely done by BetaCommandBot, so I contacted the bot's owner User:Betacommand. I don't see any other bots that do this on the list of active bots. Zenwhat ( talk) 04:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Would it be possible for a bot to get all the subcats in this category (i.e. every category in its category tree), and put them on a page, e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Golf/Categories, with no duplicates? In addition to this, could the {{ WikiProject Golf}} template be placed onto all talk pages in these subcategories where there is no template? It would be fantastic if this could happen. Thanks!

This should be an easy one!
Template:Aircontent currently includes "See also" material, as well as a navbox: Template:Aviation lists. WikiProject Aircraft is considering separating these templates so that the "See also" material in "Aircontent" can be moved further up the page to its more customary location, while leaving the navbox at the bottom of the page.
To do this, we'd need a bot to replace every instance of {{aircontent}} with {{aircontent}} {{aviation lists}} and "Related content" with "See also". Who's got the bot for the job if we decide to proceed? -- Rlandmann ( talk) 00:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
There have been repeated complaints about the length of the noticeboards, esp. by dial-up users and others with a slow connection, see here for more. My idea was to have an abridged page, something like Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard (abridged) that would transclude WP:AN. A set of <noinclude> tags would then be used on WP:AN, and all a bot would need to be able to do is move the </noinclude> tag according to the number of H2 headers; the opening <noinclude> tag would stay fixed at the top of the page. I would guess the abridged version would contain about 8 H2's. Any thoughts? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 13:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible to get a bot to replace indented and italic text at the top of pages, like:
:''This article is about X, for Y, see [[Z]]''
with the appropriate dablink template (in this case {{ otheruses4}}, but there's a number of different ones):
{{otheruses4|X|Y|Z}}
The templates use a div with a css style class to indent, so make Wikipedia a bit more skinnable. This is really quite low priority, but if this can be given to a bot which is already doing something similar it would be a good thing to do. -- h2g2bob ( talk) 16:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Currently, there is confusing use of three templates for the different Dictionary of Australian Biography and Australian Dictionary of Biography. Up to now, the {{Tl|Australian Dictionary of Biography}} redirected to {{Tl|Dictionary of Australian Biography}}. I have now replaced the redirect with source code plus a warning sign asking to replace "{{Australian Dictionary of Biography|" with "{{Dictionary of Australian Biography|"! Thus, I request that a bot does this, even though less than 50 articles are affected, and one could handle this manually.
The next step though, a move of {{Tl|ADB}} to {{Tl|Australian Dictionary of Biography}}, involves hundreds of articles. See [[Template talk:ADB]] and related talk.-- Matthead DisOuß 08:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I've run across a couple of fair-use images that were being used in the userspace, usually by accident of someone who created an article in the userspace adn then copy/paste moved it, or who don't know our general policy against non-free media outside the mainspace. I'd like a bot that could scan the fair-use/non-free image categories and pick up file-links to non-mainspace pages, and then add a cleanup category/template. I know nothing of programming, but do use AWB and would be willing to learn how to run it under another interface (and bot-username), if a more experienced user could code it. Thanks.

I would request that articles in the following categories be tagged with the appropriate version of {{ WikiProject Melanesia}}. In the event that an article appears in more than grouping, I would request that the appropriate work group tags be added to a single banner, if possible.
Finally, please add this code {{WikiProject Melanesia|class=|importance=}} on pages which do not already have the banner on pages in the categories below.
This is being asked out of ignorance on my part. Do the bots you all operate have the facility to just add a specific term to an existing banner as well, provided it isn't already there? Like the national group tags above? There are going to be a few more multi-national tagging requests in the near future, and it would be useful to know. Thanks again.

Can a bot add WP:F&S's 540 articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities/Watchlist? I want the page to look like Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Simpsons/Watchlist, so that we can keep track of articles related to F&S. Thanks. miranda 11:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
This one's reeeeeeaaly simple, but I'd like it added to a bot that runs continuously rather than MelonBot, which is decidedly on-and-off. Wikipedia:TFD/T is supposed to be a shortcut for "Templates for deletion/Today", and so currently points to Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 January 7. I'd very much like this to be bot updated to always point to the current day's TfD archive. The archives are named very systematically (four-digit-year, full-spelt-month, date-unpadded), so this should be an absolute doddle to add to any suitable bot. I've tried using variables in the redirect path, but it doesn't work for some reason. Any chance of this being done?? Happy‑ melon 21:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, following this discussion, I've come here to see if anyone can help. Essentially, I was wondering if there was a way to be notified if any article tagged by a certain WikiProject has a cleanup tag added to it? From this, ideally it would be great to be able to make an automatic to-do list - the problem at the moment is that cleanup tags are being added to articles and no one knows about it until they happen to come across the article. Any help or ideas would be great. Many thanks, Seaserpent85 14:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I created the User:EditorBot account so that someone could use it to create articles on French municipalities. Could someone do this for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Editorofthewiki ( talk • contribs) 00:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

with Insee and the French Wikipedia being a source. I'm sure interiwiki bots will cover that problem, although it would be great in we do it via the editbot. We could also create articles on cantons. Editorofthewiki ( talk) 02:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I am getting assessment up for
WikiProject Green Bay Packers, right now about 98% of the articles just have {{GreenBayPackersProject}}. My request is that someone can assess the
Category:Unassessed-Class Green Bay Packers articles by using the following standards:
Replacing {{GreenBayPackersProject}} with {{GreenBayPackersProject|class=}}
If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks in advance.
