Discussion

If this is going to be fully automated, just be sure that:

if the article has even one category missing the sort key then don't add defaultsort
if the article already has one or more defaultsorts (in template or magic word form) don't add it

Other than that, Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. —METS501 (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the second point, do you mean {{DEFAULTSORT}} and {{DEFAULTSORT:}}? Of course, when bot finds an article with DEFAULTSORT string, skips it, this includes magic word and template. And only adds {{DEFAULTSORT:}} when it has found all categories with the same sorting, moreover if there is a category [[Category:William Shakespeare| ]] with spacing sort or [[Category:William Shakespeare]] with null sort, skips.--Emijrp 18:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trial done. --Emijrp 10:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A fifty-edit trial was approved. :\ Is your one-time run over? Should it not be continuous? And in the future, when making a task request, do not exceed the limitations of the trial, especially not to this extent. — madman bum and angel 13:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
