Operator: Bunnypranav (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)
Time filed: 15:54, Saturday, December 14, 2024 (UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: AWB
Function overview: Use AWB auto tagging
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): Weekly runs
Estimated number of pages affected: 50-100 each run
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Firstly, I am already approved to use Auto Tagging and GenFixes with the first bot task. That was mainly based upon CW errors, so I have decided to get explicit approval on running tasks primarily based on Auto Tagging. This is also similar to BattyBot's first task.
Specifics:
- Removal of {{orphan}} from Database reports/Orphans with incoming links, of which I run a userpage report at User:Bunnypranav/DeOrphan using same code.
- Change {{No footnotes}} to {{More footnotes needed}} from articles with at least one footnote. Run against articles in the monthly subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources. Will also add {{Reflist}} and heading with GenFixes for articles lacking one.
- Merge supported templates into {{Multiple issues}}. Run against articles that have {{Multiple issues}}.
Appropriate skip options for cosmetic, no changes, only whitespace changes will be applied.
Discussion
- Question: Will the bot know the difference between content and tracking categories, or hidden and visible categories? For example, if an article has the category Category:CS1 maint: url-status as its only category and has the {{Uncategorized}} template, what will it do? (Hint: The article should remain tagged as Uncategorized.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonesey95 (talk • contribs) 05:06, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: As this is just using AWB autotagger and I did not write any code, I am not sure of the exact technicalities. As per my understanding, such tracking cats should be ignored by AWB. I am open for any testing with specific pages if you can provide them. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I looked for sample articles, but I guess I'm confused. Why are you proposing to run a category-related task on Category:Articles lacking sources? I don't see any relevant articles.
- I see only 36 articles that have the Uncategorized template. I don't think that batch needs a bot run. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: Thanks for your observation. The ref cat was added by mistake. Anyways, after a few searching of my own, I have removed that sub task
and added a new one for new pages tagging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunnypranav (talk • contribs) 15:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

- Small update, I have changed the task list again ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Primefac (talk) 13:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Trial complete. 50 edits No errors that I can see. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Bunnypranav: Is this also meant to do the General Fix that changes {{Unreferenced}} to {{More citations needed}} if there's at least one source? Came across this bot while keeping an eye on Category:All articles lacking sources. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 00:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ARandomName123 Yes, that is also being done using the Auto Tagging feature of AWB. See Special:Diff/1266637064, an edit during this trial. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- {{BAG assistance needed}} ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- I am disinclined to approve this task. Of the first ten edits I looked at, five of them were purely cosmetic edits. This is not an acceptable failure rate. Primefac (talk) 12:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Primefac Apologies for the cosmetic edits. Can I get an extended trial? I will change the way I create lists to exclude such failures. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:39, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
