Wikipedia Version 1.0 Editorial Team aims to work toward a set of articles suitable for release in print, CD, DVD, or some combination. To that end, Wikipedia articles are assessed by categorizing their talk pages by quality and importance. A bot visits those categories every three days and collects the articles present there into lists; see the index.
This page describes the output of the bot, as well as how to set up the categories for a given subject (for example, chemistry, military history, music, etc.), for the bot to visit them and collect the information into lists.
The following are generated automatically by the bot every 3 days or so:
First, verify that you have a WikiProject as described at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals.
If your WikiProject is interested in using the bot to generate the above information, you need to do the following:
{{
WPBannerMeta}}
. For more complex work, have a look at the templates used by the
Military History project, {{
WPMILHIST}}, and the
Beatles WikiProject, {{
WikiProject Beatles}}. For a sample code of how to detect comments subpages, see
Biography WikiProject's template, {{
WikiProject Biography}}.Once the bot is working, to build the list of articles in a project you simply add information to the article talk pages. On each article talk page you add the project template. Optionally, you include the quality assessment. Check the log periodically to check that no one is vandalizing your work. Hopefully you now have a useful collection of data for your project!
