Time filed: 23:28, Friday, November 24, 2023 ( UTC)
Function overview: Fix/remove unknown WikiProject parameters
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Subcategories of Category:WikiProject templates with unknown parameters
Edit period(s): Monthly
Estimated number of pages affected: 100,000
Namespace(s): Talk, Category talk, Draft talk, File talk, etc.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Fix WikiProject template parameters (e.g. impotance
→ importance
, importancelow
→ importance=low
) and remove unsupported WikiProject template parameters to remove pages from subcategories of
Category:WikiProject templates with unknown parameters. Before removing any parameters, I will manually check the WikiProject template documentation and source code to confirm the parameter is not supported, and manually report any technical issues I discover (e.g.,
this conversation). This bot will not be able to fix every issue, but removing the low-hanging fruit should make it easier for editors to find those pages that need to be fixed manually. This bot task would also utilize
User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects and
AWB's general fixes.

Just to confirm, you aren't simply removing invalid parameters, you're attempting to fix the most common/obvious errors so that manual cleanup is easier. Yes? Primefac ( talk) 12:47, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
