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.
Use AWB's Tagger to change {{Uncategorized}} to {{Improve categories}} from articles with at least one category. Run against articles in Category:Articles lacking sources.

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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
