I want to add the articles under the following categories+subcategories to wikiproject: Indian caste system. Is this a good request for a bot?
Miximon ( talk) 19:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, is there a bot that can automatically update the leaderboard for the unreferenced articles backlog drive? Ideally, it would count the number of edit summaries made by each participant with "feb24" (not case-sensistive) to unique articles. Then, it would update the "Points from references" column in the leaderboard with that number. The rest of the leaderboard doesn't need to be updated by the bot, as the points from reviews is simpler to update, and the total points is automatically provided by a template. There's a bit of prior discussion at the talk page. Thanks! ARandomName123 ( talk)Ping me! 23:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Right now, there is a category "Category:Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery" - which is added to all ACM Fellows. I created a bunch of categories "Category:202x Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery" as subcategories of the main category to organize these by year. The recepients are already organised by year in this page.

Hello,

I was looking around for something like this, and did not find it, could a bot run a page against earwigs copyvio detector automatically, and flag it for human review if its score is too high? (I am willing to attempt to code this if there is not a glaring issue with it)
Thanks
Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata contains 19,875 articles tagged with {{

This is also related to the #Bot request for Korean hangul text above.
Any instance of Template:Linktext in Korean personal names should also be removed.
Korean personal names are usually in the "one-syllable surname + two-syllable given name" format (e.g. 홍길동 – surname 홍, given name 길동), so some people added Linktext like this: {{linktext|홍|길동}}
. There are currently 726 pages containing such instances of Linktext (see
this), and these are mostly—but not always—personal names.
In this case, you should not look for any space characters and [0-9]
. You only need to look for \{\{[Ll]inktext\|[가-힣]\|[가-힣][가-힣]\|?\}\}
(that is {{[Ll]inktext|[가-힣]|[가-힣][가-힣]|?}}
without the backslashes), and remove Template:Linktext and |
, but retain the text entered as parameters (i.e. change {{linktext|홍|길동}}
to 홍길동
).
Here are my questions:
{{linktext|집|으로}}

{{ BOTREQ}} (for the bot). Primefac ( talk) 18:31, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
This is a request to replace invisible space characters with regular space characters in {{ short description}} templates within articles. As the MOS says, these characters are typically placed inadvertently via copying and pasting, and they can cause problems of various sorts. The task would be to replace invisible nbsp and thinsp characters found within short descriptions in the articles listed at Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing invalid space characters.
I am pretty sure this would be a cosmetic task that would need explicit BRFA approval. Fixing the existing 3,000 or so instances of the problem will help us understand the root causes of the problem by identifying how new instances are occurring.

Would it be possible to get a bot to expand the match report citations at 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying phase and play-off round (Main Path) to stop the article exceeding template size limits? I've tried sandboxing a couple of different ways to try and reduce the number of templates on the page and I think the best (and possibly easiest) way to do so would be to expand the Cite web templates but there are quite a few so it would take a while to do so manually. As an example, <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/match/2038534/ |title=Sutjeska-Cosmos |website=UEFA.com |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |access-date=13 July 2023}}</ref> would become <ref>[https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/match/2038534/ "Sutjeska-Cosmos"].

Hey all! I know there is previous consensus to remove tracking parameters from URLs in articles (ex: PrimeBOT 17 and its predecessor), and I've noticed a parameter that appears in many URLs from The New York Times (in almost 3,700 articles as of now). There's also this particular link from the Mona Lisa article that shows a few more tracking parameters used by NYT: https://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/15/mona-lisas-identity-solved-for-good/?searchResultPosition=2&mtrref=www.nytimes.com&gwh=9DE4B32CC79812F2537467E9D52707E9&gwt=pay&assetType=REGIWALL.
I'd like to create a bot task to remove these but wanted to start a conversation on-wiki first to ensure there's consensus. I believe I have some draft code started that would work well, matching all NYT subdomains and whatnot. (Using the following regex to find NYT links in source code and

This seems uncontroversial.
It would be pretty cool if some kind bot could go through the pre-current (should never change) archives of the boards listed in the dramaboard archivebox series, extract the earliest and latest timestamps, truncate them to dates, and use those dates to annotate the links somehow. Inactive archives at time of writing are:
User story: I was recently trying to find an archived conversation from a few months ago, and the best tools I had available were a scattershot "tap an archive number, wait for the entire page to load, check top and bottom timestamps" and "search archives for exact string matched date". Improved navigability gained from annotating the archive links with date ranges should save people time.
Implementation ideas: The quickest implementation would just be a plaintext date range edited onto the archive list pages linked above. A further step could be to add a |date-span=
(or similar) to {{
Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}} which, if present, would display the date range of comments posted at the top of the page itself, so the information is available both on the archive page and the index of archives. The most elegant, stupid, and expensive implementation would be to add {{
shortdesc}} to all the archives, set the |1=
to the date range, and convert the indices to use {{
annotated link}}.
Anyway though: Anyway though the first step is getting the date ranges. Maybe this is already in a report somewhere? Folly Mox ( talk) 18:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
