Time filed: 02:22, Friday, August 26, 2022 (UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB, query.
Function overview: Tag disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): N/A
Edit period(s): Continous
Estimated number of pages affected: ~53,405 first run
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: This bot would tag the talk pages of disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner, {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}, when it is not already present. This helps with categorization and the operation of external tools like XTools; for example, on my list of pages created, it lists 7 disambiguation pages as "Unknown" because the tag is not present; this task would allow them to display properly.
Discussion
[edit]- EpicPupper, doesn't this duplicate Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 34? Pinging GoingBatty for comment as well. Primefac (talk) 09:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Primefac - It looks the same as BattyBot's task, with one big exception.
- @EricPupper - Template:WikiProject Disambiguation states "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content." I noticed the first page on your query is Boarding, which has no talk page, so a talk page should not be created for this. If you could update your query so it only lists existing talk pages, I could run my BattyBot task more often. GoingBatty (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
