The maintenance department of the Biography WikiProject uses various automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
The current scope of the Biography WikiProject is enormous and covers thousands of articles. These articles must be tagged, their infoboxes replaced or deprecated, and so forth. Given the sheer number of articles, it is quite tedious to do these things by hand; therefore, various automated or semi-automated processes must be set up to perform these maintenance tasks.
Depending on the nature of the task, it can be either completely automated and run by a bot, or semi-automated via AWB, requiring a user's decision to whether or not implement the changes. Indeed, in order to minimize false positives, some of the operations should be performed by hand.
Rules of thumb:
A task is a maintenance operation that can be executed on a precise set of articles. It can be identified by several parameters:
For example, all articles in Category:United States military personnel stubs could be tagged with military-work-group=yes and auto-assessed as stubs. There are many such catgories that can be similarly assessed, e.g. Category:African politician stubs could be tagged with politician-work-group=yes and auto-assessed as Stub, etc.
When a task involves tagging articles from a stub tag and automatically rating them as "Stub-Class", the auto parameter in {{ WPBiography}} must be set:
{{WPBiography
|class=Stub
|auto=yes
...
}}
For example, talk pages in Category:Biography articles needing priority parameter replacement have an active importance= parameter, which needs to be replaced with priority=.
For example, all articles in Category:Living people could be tagged and living=yes added.
