Function overview:
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Rust/Python
Source code available: Uses mwbot
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Redirects_related_to_those_nominated_at_RfD and Wikipedia talk:Redirects for discussion#Avoided double redirects of nominated redirects
Edit period(s): Continous
Page: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes (but N/A)
Adminbot (Yes/No): No
Function details:
- Look at each RFD on each RFD Page
- Determines whether there are any other redirects, in any namespace, that meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Are marked as an avoided-double redirect of a nominated redirect
- Are redirects to the nominated redirect
- Redirect to the same target as the nominated redirect and differ only in the presence or absence of non-alphanumeric characters, and/or differ only in case
- If the bot finds any redirects that match and which are not currently nominated at RfD, then it should post a message in the discussion (final details about the message are TBD, but the bot request outline the general point). The bot limits the length of it's message, ensuring that the RfD is not over-cluttered.
Discussion
Thanks for working on this GalStar, but it's not clear whether it is checking for redirects that differ only in the presence/absence of diacritics? Thryduulf (talk) 23:41, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Diacritics fall under non-alphanumeric characters. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 16:48, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
Approved for trial (30 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. – DreamRimmer ■ 06:35, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
{{Operator assistance needed}} Anything on the trial? Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:54, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
On hold until RfD accepts my proposal to use a new templating system, one that is more friendly to bots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GalStar (talk • contribs) 05:57, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- On hold. For AnomieBot. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:12, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- @GalStar: Is there a reason why you can't just use regex to find each nomination and use the information from that? For example, TenshiBot's unlisted copyright problems report looks for copyright problems in the subpages which use substed {{article-cv}} (regex: , although the script knows the names of the pages already, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get that from RfD subpages).
