I would appreciate if someone could run a bot that would create a redirect for Files for discussion/date to Files for deletion/date, where no page or redirect exists. For example, a redirect from Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2012 January 11 to Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 January 11. I'm creating a template that links to a year's worth of archives and the simplest way for it to work is for all the pages/redirects to have the same name.

I am running a competition ( Wikipedia:Take the lead!) in January. I have been looking at Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup and Category:Pages missing lead section. However this is only a minor portion of all articles missing or with too-short leads as I can come across them pretty frequently if I hit Random Page repeatedly.
What I was thinking of was a bot that might pick up the most extreme examples, say, articles of over 5 kb (or 10kb?) prose with leads of 1-2 sentences only. I was thinking this might be a good way to pick up large/important articles with crappy leads. I didn't want to go crazy with tagging 50,000 articles. Writing in a stream-of-consciousness type way and happy for input on this. Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 00:26, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
We really need a bot that updates the lists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Fix common mistakes#Log. Right now they are being done manually, which is a very tedious process. Some of the entries have not been updated since November of 2014 and there are a bunch of errors that we haven't added because we can't keep up with the ones we list now.
Note: This was brought up before at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 63#Bot to updated lists at WikiProject Fix common mistakes, where it was marked as resolved and archived, despite the fact that we are still doing this by hand. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 18:40, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Please could someone do this:
For example, I just created Birds of Tunisia as a redirect to List of birds of Tunisia.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this is possible to correct with a bot, but there are a considerable amount of articles that are affected by this. These atlas links have been used for NRHP citations, as well as other historical marker citations.
The home for the Texas Historical Commission atlas URL remains the same: http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/
However, once you access information, those links have changed. Whatever is linked to THC as sources in articles are now dead links. I just made a recent change to an article. You can see by the diff how it's been changed. — Maile ( talk) 22:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I am here again, I would like to inquire if we could create a dead links bot that searches for and tags dead links in articles. I find dead links from years back every day. I think that the system needs to keep up with the high amount of dead links that are not tagged as such. So that the bot that is currently archiving the dead links doesnt just take for example one dead link that happens to have been tagged but leaves behind 5 others.

Graph (mathematics) has been moved to Graph (discrete mathematics). I think that all mainspace links pointing to the old name (which has been redirected to a disambiguation page) should be retargetted to the new name. Petr Matas 17:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
I was wondering if it would be possible to make a bot that made a list of all fungus species that do not have the year of publication category (e.g. Category:Fungi described in 2015). I would use this list to go through the articles by hand and add the missing cats where appropriate. I'm not quite sure how many articles would be included, but guessing less than 2000.

This article has been moved from TBS (TV channel) as a result of an RM that suggested the redirect should be retargeted to the main TBS page. I would have done it via AWB but there are around 2,000 incoming links. Cheers, Number 5 7 22:06, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
As noted in this blog post, we have some citations to tweets which "use the obsolete HashBang URls (e.g. http://twitter.com/#!/007/status/133679555167784960.) Some Tweets have been deleted." Can a bot fix these two issues? Or perhaps that's a job more suited to AWB? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:23, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

If they are, remove them from the container category, referencing the subcategory and WP:SUBCAT in the edit summary. -- Slivicon ( talk) 14:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Could some bot check all these URLs and tell me, to what URL are they redirecting? And putting them in some table with old and new URL. Yes, that's all what I need. Doing that manually will be very tedious. URLs are here. So, for example, this redirects to this. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 17:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
First: sections of a page can't be added to a watchlist, and this whole subject has seen some pushback over the years; see for instance this Phabricator page, which I learned about yesterday at WP:VPT#Section-specific notifications. Wikipedia is hurt every day, significantly, when people check their watchlists less frequently because they're forced to check hundreds or thousands of edits just so they can monitor the particular sections that represent the task requests they're interested in. This happened to me just yesterday; I don't pull up my watchlist as frequently nowadays because I have to keep WP:ERRORS watchlisted in case anything shows up in the Today's Featured Article section, which represents a small fraction of the edits to that page. There are many editors who struggle with the same problem daily. I'm asking for a bot that runs frequently, takes a diff of WP:ERRORS if there have been any edits, discards everything from the diff above and below specific text markers, and notifies me in some way (a ping would be fine) if the relevant part of the diff has changed. (It would also be nice if it didn't keep pinging me with each edit ... once per 24 hours would be fine ... but that's optional.) If anyone is willing to code this simple bot to run at ERRORS and a few other high-traffic pages, a lot of people will love you for it. (A red herring sometimes gets thrown into these discussions that searching for sections is hard to do ... that's both dubious and irrelevant. All we need is a bot that can search for specific, perhaps hidden, text, and can discard the parts of a diff above and below that text.) - Dank ( push to talk) 15:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
Certain (maybe all) pages listed by {{ Bassar Prefecture}} contain two erroneous links to Bassar instead of Bassar Prefecture. Could you please fix this for all the pages (blue links of the template)? Also, you could remove obsolete parameters "dot_x", "dot_y", "dot_map_caption", "dot_mapsize" and "image_dot_map" when empty: they are obsolete. Here is an example of edit—keep the text "Bassar" in the infobox and change just the link is preferable.

Is there interest in a bot that, at the request of a wikiproject, looks through the articles in its scope and compiles a list of "most requested" articles based on red links? I imagine it similar to how User:AlexNewArtBot creates a list of articles that project members can look through and include on a list. I got the idea from working on WP:Linguistics so I'll use that as my example here, but the bot could be useful for any number of wikiprojects.
I would imagine a bot would periodically (once a day? once a week?) look through the WikiProject category ( Category:WikiProject Linguistics articles) and count the number of times various redlinks appear in those articles. So for example it would see that both Linguistic Society of America and List of presidents of the Linguistic Society of America both have a redlink to George Melville Bolling and put down that the article has 2 incoming redlinks. It would then put that down on a page that project participants can look at and decide whether those requested articles are within the projects scope and add them to the "requested articles" section of the WikiProject.
If there's interest, and something similar doesn't already exist, I would be willing to work on it. Thoughts? Wugapodes ( talk) 21:19, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

|publisher=''[insert here]''
into |work=[insert here]
(without italics), changed so anchor works — Martin (
MSGJ ·
talk) 20:29, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Hello. I have already created this bot, but it first needs to be approved, and I do not quite know where to start, so I may need to give up my ownership of the bot.
Anyway, the purpose of this bot is to scan reference templates in articles for the |publisher=
parameter whose value is in italics so that it would be changed into the |work=
whose value is no longer in italics, and the reason why I am requesting this is because there is a common tendency to use the |publisher=
parameter (with italics) over the |work=
parameter (without italics) incorrectly, so, with this bot, we could guide editors into correctly using parameters.

(talk) 19:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
In order for a bot to be approved, its operator should demonstrate that it: ... performs only tasks for which there is consensus". Your suggestion is for a bot that would perform a task that may be controversial, so I was asking you to link to a discussion that obtained consensus for that task.
“ | As a matter of fact, there is a standard:
WP:FACR. It has only one simple requirement: Citation style must be consistent. So, either the entire article must forgo publisher, or the entire article must use it wrongly, or the best option: the entire article must use it correctly.
And then there is the time when the editor writes |publisher=''Website Name'', whereas User:Codename Lisa has informed that she has put together a small page to help editors write the correct parameters. Here: User:Codename Lisa/Websites and their publishers. It might prove helpful for your bot idea. Fleet Command ( talk) 08:39, 19 March 2016 (UTC) |
” |
There isn't a standard practice so there's nothing to standardize. You don't ever have to include the publisher if it isn't helpful. No one really cares as long as each article is consistent. We wouldn't switch to just italicizing the Publisher field because the fields have different metadata purposes. czar 5:56 pm, 15 March 2016, last Tuesday (2 days ago) (UTC−5)

Hello, some helpful souls directed me to this page. On behalf of the people over on Dutch Wikipedia, I'm trying to find out if an old bot which has gone missing can be recovered. The bot is called BryanBot, and it used to take care of their monthly disambiguation list. It has packed in over a year ago (when the Toolserver stopped operating), which means that WP.NL is now in a bit of a pickle. I'm currently doing manual refreshes for them, now and again, but got tired of it, and would like to find a more permanent solution, ideally trying to get that bot recovered.
Now, I'm out of my realm with bots, so I'll have to rely on your help. Is there anyone who can find out if that bot can still be recovered and/or reactivated. If the answer is a firm negative, we'll have to consider alternatives. Thanks! -- Midas02 ( talk) 21:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Dispenser 17:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Hello. Loads of articles (particularly sports, but also TV seasons etc) contain a longer dash (I'm not sure what it's called, or if it even has a name!). Example University Challenge 2015–16. It looks nicer than a smaller hypen but I'm not sure this sort of dash is even on my keyboard and I'm sure loads of users will type in an article with the smaller hyphen (found next to the 0 on my keyboard, other makes may differ) and will end up on a search page. I was thinking a good bot would be one that searches for articles with the longer dash in the title and automatically created a redirect from a page with the same title except with a shorter hyphen. So for the above article, this page would be created: University Challenge 2015-16 (I've actually just done it myself). I'm not really familiar with bot process and whether this is suitable, but what do people think? Thanks, HornetMike ( talk) 18:54, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
I am making a request for user:Yobot or other available bot to do some tagging for Wikiproject Insects. I am a member of the project and have notified them here.
What to do:
{{WikiProject Insects|class=x|importance=y}}
to{{WikiProject Insects|class=x|importance=y|Hymenoptera=yes|Hymenoptera-importance=y}}
(inheriting importance from parent project) to articles in the following subcategories
{{Hymenoptera=yes|Hymenoptera-importance=VALUE}}
set.Categories:
Although the "all subcategories" is usually against yobot's rules, there shouldn't be any issues with forgetting to exclude categories, as the wasp and bee categories have been curated extensively by WikiProject Insects members and only contain pages for those groups (the non-ant Hymenoptera). I can manually list all the categories if you'd prefer, but there are a lot of them! M. A. Broussard ( talk) 23:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Edgars2007 where in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women was the WikiProject notified that were a bot tagging take place? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 09:55, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Template:cite doi has been deprecated but Category:Cite doi templates still contains over 58k pages at the moment. Could someone provide a table of the orphaned pages from that category (I'm aware that a number are not technically orphaned because, such as, Template:Cite doi/10.1029.2F2008GL034614 they show up in various orphaned template lists) and also probably the ones used the most. If possible, can there be a check if the creator was User:Citation bot? That way, I can list them in chunks at TFD and skip the notification part? -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 09:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Link to Google spreadsheets. There are 24816 templates (listed at 1st sheet), that were created by Citation bot, that don't have any links and transclusions to them. AFAIK, that also counts redirects. So those should be completely orphaned and safe to delete. If somebody wants to review SQL query, it's at 2nd sheet (Code). At 3rd sheet there are the most used templates. Nothing very much, only 1900 - I'm counting transclusions to all namespaces. Hope this helps. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 13:43, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Can I request that a bot mass delete these orphaned templates? The consensus at TFD here was clearly in favor of a mass deletion. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 23:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
@ Ricky81682: Simpler idea -- How about transcluding every single template in that category that's still in use, then deleting everything? I did a lot of work like this (cough userboxes cough) back in the day. -- Cyde Weys 01:45, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

I have noticed a significant number of article talk pages that use both {{ article history}} and one or more of {{ on this day}}, {{ DYK talk}}, {{ ITN talk}}, and other templates that could be combined into {{ article history}}. Given the ever-increasing length of the pile-up of banners at the top of talk pages, I want to suggest that a bot could combine redundant talk page banners ( like this, for example).

I see there's been passing mention of this before, but I've been working on a backlog in which categories such as Category:Wikipedia_files_with_no_copyright_tag_as_of_3_April_2016 regularly appear. The only content is a template which was deleted three years ago following merger of the category. The category is created by User:DumbBOT, whose owner has had sporadic Wiki time for a few years and who has not edited at all since August. Is there something that can be done about this situation? It seems a waste of resources and admin time to create one of these categories and then have a human delete it every day, aside from the fact that it means this backlog can never be emptied. I guess the ideal solution for an unsupervised bot is for it to be taken over by someone else (I understand @ Nyttend: has taken over most of the functions - is this sufficiently advanced that DumbBOT can be blocked?) Or at the very least, can we have a second bot to automatically delete these categories when DumbBOT creates them, to save a human having to do it? Le Deluge ( talk) 15:30, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I would appreciate if someone could run a bot that would create a redirect for Files for discussion/date to Files for deletion/date, where no page or redirect exists. For example, a redirect from Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2012 January 11 to Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 January 11.

I am running a competition ( Wikipedia:Take the lead!) in January. I have been looking at Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup and Category:Pages missing lead section. However this is only a minor portion of all articles missing or with too-short leads as I can come across them pretty frequently if I hit Random Page repeatedly.
What I was thinking of was a bot that might pick up the most extreme examples, say, articles of over 5 kb (or 10kb?) prose with leads of 1-2 sentences only. I was thinking this might be a good way to pick up large/important articles with crappy leads. I didn't want to go crazy with tagging 50,000 articles. Writing in a stream-of-consciousness type way and happy for input on this. Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 00:26, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this is possible to correct with a bot, but there are a considerable amount of articles that are affected by this. These atlas links have been used for NRHP citations, as well as other historical marker citations.
The home for the Texas Historical Commission atlas URL remains the same: http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/
However, once you access information, those links have changed. Whatever is linked to THC as sources in articles are now dead links. I just made a recent change to an article. You can see by the diff how it's been changed. — Maile ( talk) 22:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I am here again, I would like to inquire if we could create a dead links bot that searches for and tags dead links in articles. I find dead links from years back every day. I think that the system needs to keep up with the high amount of dead links that are not tagged as such. So that the bot that is currently archiving the dead links doesnt just take for example one dead link that happens to have been tagged but leaves behind 5 others.

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a bot that made a list of all fungus species that do not have the year of publication category (e.g. Category:Fungi described in 2015).

First: sections of a page can't be added to a watchlist, and this whole subject has seen some pushback over the years; see for instance this Phabricator page, which I learned about yesterday at WP:VPT#Section-specific notifications. Wikipedia is hurt every day, significantly, when people check their watchlists less frequently because they're forced to check hundreds or thousands of edits just so they can monitor the particular sections that represent the task requests they're interested in. This happened to me just yesterday; I don't pull up my watchlist as frequently nowadays because I have to keep WP:ERRORS watchlisted in case anything shows up in the Today's Featured Article section, which represents a small fraction of the edits to that page. There are many editors who struggle with the same problem daily. I'm asking for a bot that runs frequently, takes a diff of WP:ERRORS if there have been any edits, discards everything from the diff above and below specific text markers, and notifies me in some way (a ping would be fine) if the relevant part of the diff has changed. (It would also be nice if it didn't keep pinging me with each edit ... once per 24 hours would be fine ... but that's optional.) If anyone is willing to code this simple bot to run at ERRORS and a few other high-traffic pages, a lot of people will love you for it. (A red herring sometimes gets thrown into these discussions that searching for sections is hard to do ... that's both dubious and irrelevant. All we need is a bot that can search for specific, perhaps hidden, text, and can discard the parts of a diff above and below that text.) - Dank ( push to talk) 15:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
Certain (maybe all) pages listed by {{ Bassar Prefecture}} contain two erroneous links to Bassar instead of Bassar Prefecture. Could you please fix this for all the pages (blue links of the template)? Also, you could remove obsolete parameters "dot_x", "dot_y", "dot_map_caption", "dot_mapsize" and "image_dot_map" when empty: they are obsolete. Here is an example of edit—keep the text "Bassar" in the infobox and change just the link is preferable.

Is there interest in a bot that, at the request of a wikiproject, looks through the articles in its scope and compiles a list of "most requested" articles based on red links? I imagine it similar to how User:AlexNewArtBot creates a list of articles that project members can look through and include on a list. I got the idea from working on WP:Linguistics so I'll use that as my example here, but the bot could be useful for any number of wikiprojects.
I would imagine a bot would periodically (once a day? once a week?) look through the WikiProject category ( Category:WikiProject Linguistics articles) and count the number of times various redlinks appear in those articles. So for example it would see that both Linguistic Society of America and List of presidents of the Linguistic Society of America both have a redlink to George Melville Bolling and put down that the article has 2 incoming redlinks. It would then put that down on a page that project participants can look at and decide whether those requested articles are within the projects scope and add them to the "requested articles" section of the WikiProject.
If there's interest, and something similar doesn't already exist, I would be willing to work on it. Thoughts? Wugapodes ( talk) 21:19, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

MSGJ ·
talk) 20:29, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Hello. I have already created this bot, but it first needs to be approved, and I do not quite know where to start, so I may need to give up my ownership of the bot.
Anyway, the purpose of this bot is to scan reference templates in articles for the |publisher=
parameter whose value is in italics so that it would be changed into the |work=
whose value is no longer in italics, and the reason why I am requesting this is because there is a common tendency to use the |publisher=
parameter (with italics) over the |work=
parameter (without italics) incorrectly, so, with this bot, we could guide editors into correctly using parameters.

(talk) 19:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
In order for a bot to be approved, its operator should demonstrate that it: ... performs only tasks for which there is consensus". Your suggestion is for a bot that would perform a task that may be controversial, so I was asking you to link to a discussion that obtained consensus for that task.
“ | As a matter of fact, there is a standard:
WP:FACR. It has only one simple requirement: Citation style must be consistent. So, either the entire article must forgo publisher, or the entire article must use it wrongly, or the best option: the entire article must use it correctly.
And then there is the time when the editor writes |publisher=''Website Name'', whereas User:Codename Lisa has informed that she has put together a small page to help editors write the correct parameters. Here: User:Codename Lisa/Websites and their publishers. It might prove helpful for your bot idea. Fleet Command ( talk) 08:39, 19 March 2016 (UTC) |
” |
There isn't a standard practice so there's nothing to standardize. You don't ever have to include the publisher if it isn't helpful. No one really cares as long as each article is consistent. We wouldn't switch to just italicizing the Publisher field because the fields have different metadata purposes. czar 5:56 pm, 15 March 2016, last Tuesday (2 days ago) (UTC−5)

Hello, some helpful souls directed me to this page. On behalf of the people over on Dutch Wikipedia, I'm trying to find out if an old bot which has gone missing can be recovered. The bot is called BryanBot, and it used to take care of their monthly disambiguation list. It has packed in over a year ago (when the Toolserver stopped operating), which means that WP.NL is now in a bit of a pickle. I'm currently doing manual refreshes for them, now and again, but got tired of it, and would like to find a more permanent solution, ideally trying to get that bot recovered.
Now, I'm out of my realm with bots, so I'll have to rely on your help. Is there anyone who can find out if that bot can still be recovered and/or reactivated. If the answer is a firm negative, we'll have to consider alternatives. Thanks! -- Midas02 ( talk) 21:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Dispenser 17:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Hello. Loads of articles (particularly sports, but also TV seasons etc) contain a longer dash (I'm not sure what it's called, or if it even has a name!). Example University Challenge 2015–16. It looks nicer than a smaller hypen but I'm not sure this sort of dash is even on my keyboard and I'm sure loads of users will type in an article with the smaller hyphen (found next to the 0 on my keyboard, other makes may differ) and will end up on a search page. I was thinking a good bot would be one that searches for articles with the longer dash in the title and automatically created a redirect from a page with the same title except with a shorter hyphen. So for the above article, this page would be created: University Challenge 2015-16 (I've actually just done it myself). I'm not really familiar with bot process and whether this is suitable, but what do people think? Thanks, HornetMike ( talk) 18:54, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Could some AWB bot (pinging Magioladitis) do a little tagging? The list A is available here, list B - here.
Articles from list A needs to be tagged with {{ WikiProject Women's History}}, articles from list B needs to be tagged with {{ WikiProject Women}}. Although I did the basic check, the lists should be checked once more. Maybe some articles already have any of these banners in talk page:
Bot can skip them.
The consensus to tag articles is here. This is phase 1 (tagging those articles, which are also in German Wikipedia), there will be more phases later. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 19:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
@ Edgars2007: I have seen talk pages that contain more than one of the WikiProject templates above. Are there any guidelines that state if a talk page has one of these templates that it doesn't need another template? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 20:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
I can help with this. I 'll read the request carefully. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 12:49, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Edgars2007 if I just go and add the banners in the two lists it would be a problem? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 21:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Edgars2007 I would prefer if someone else was generating the lists to reduce complains against my bot. If something goes wrong I can always blame you :) -- Magioladitis ( talk) 12:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Yobot it's not blocked atm. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:45, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Edgars2007 I never proceeded with this task because there is no sign in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History that the WikiProject was notified about the tagging. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 11:50, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
@ BU Rob13: So here is the list. List contains all enwiki articles, that are in dewiki "Frau" ("Women") category. Sorry, didn't perform any check for existing banners (there are problems with saving the list onwiki or doing check via PetScan). -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 20:14, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Here is a list of 200 pages already in both WikiProject Women and WikiProject Feminism

Edgars2007 where in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women was the WikiProject notified that were a bot tagging take place? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 09:55, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Template:cite doi has been deprecated but Category:Cite doi templates still contains over 58k pages at the moment. Could someone provide a table of the orphaned pages from that category (I'm aware that a number are not technically orphaned because, such as, Template:Cite doi/10.1029.2F2008GL034614 they show up in various orphaned template lists) and also probably the ones used the most. If possible, can there be a check if the creator was User:Citation bot? That way, I can list them in chunks at TFD and skip the notification part? -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 09:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Link to Google spreadsheets. There are 24816 templates (listed at 1st sheet), that were created by Citation bot, that don't have any links and transclusions to them. AFAIK, that also counts redirects. So those should be completely orphaned and safe to delete. If somebody wants to review SQL query, it's at 2nd sheet (Code). At 3rd sheet there are the most used templates. Nothing very much, only 1900 - I'm counting transclusions to all namespaces. Hope this helps. -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 13:43, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Can I request that a bot mass delete these orphaned templates? The consensus at TFD here was clearly in favor of a mass deletion. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 23:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
@ Ricky81682: Simpler idea -- How about transcluding every single template in that category that's still in use, then deleting everything? I did a lot of work like this (cough userboxes cough) back in the day. -- Cyde Weys 01:45, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Done and category deleted. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 15:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
I have noticed a significant number of article talk pages that use both {{ article history}} and one or more of {{ on this day}}, {{ DYK talk}}, {{ ITN talk}}, and other templates that could be combined into {{ article history}}. Given the ever-increasing length of the pile-up of banners at the top of talk pages, I want to suggest that a bot could combine redundant talk page banners ( like this, for example). Graham ( talk) 21:56, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Done BRFA approved and most probably bot has finished its task already since last task related edit was on April 14. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 15:54, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Following many discussions in the past, the use of "/Comments" subpages of article talk pages was deprecated (see WP:DCS for details). But the process to completely stop using them has never been carried out. I would like to ask if a bot could be employed to do the following tasks:

Per a recent discussion at WikiProject Football, a bot is requested to remove the ' (retired)' string from the '|position = ' field within Template:Infobox football biography. Thanks, C 679 08:29, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
All pages fixed. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 15:50, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
I see there's been passing mention of this before, but I've been working on a backlog in which categories such as Category:Wikipedia_files_with_no_copyright_tag_as_of_3_April_2016 regularly appear. The only content is a template which was deleted three years ago following merger of the category. The category is created by User:DumbBOT, whose owner has had sporadic Wiki time for a few years and who has not edited at all since August. Is there something that can be done about this situation? It seems a waste of resources and admin time to create one of these categories and then have a human delete it every day, aside from the fact that it means this backlog can never be emptied. I guess the ideal solution for an unsupervised bot is for it to be taken over by someone else (I understand @ Nyttend: has taken over most of the functions - is this sufficiently advanced that DumbBOT can be blocked?) Or at the very least, can we have a second bot to automatically delete these categories when DumbBOT creates them, to save a human having to do it? Le Deluge ( talk) 15:30, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
It has been a couple of years since a bot has tagged {{ Chicago WikiProject}} on relevant pages using WP:CHIBOTCATS. Could we get an update.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

How about a bot that looks for many instances of sentences containing terrible grammar? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 04:44, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Redundant I've come across many links on wikipedia in the past that lead to sites that no longer operate or work, are we able to implement a Bot to seek out these links and delete them if they don't work or are obsolete? (I'm kind of a Noob at this, BTW) Minecraftpsyco ( talk) 19:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Not done The adding archive links by default is interesting, but not the original bot request, and it would need consensus gathering. Marking the original request as not done because we already have bots providing archive links for dead links. ~ Rob Talk 01:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
The redundant Template:WikiProject South Korea was redirected to Template:WikiProject Korea, and now some pages have duplicate templates (e.g. Talk:President of South Korea). Can a bot remove Template:WikiProject South Korea when Template:WikiProject Korea or one of its redirects is already placed? (See recent discussion here.) Random86 ( talk) 20:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
I posted a plan on Talk:My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (franchise), but I need a bot to fix links and redirects while I rename MLP EQG-related articles. Here's my plan:
Redirect the following | to |
---|---|
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (film) | |
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls |
Could any of you help me with this? Thanks in advance. JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 11:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
