Time filed: 12:58, Monday, April 17, 2023 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: supervised

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: wmf-staff-accounts.py

Function overview: Marking former WMF staff accounts and removing them from the staff category.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Roughly weekly, unless otherwise requested

Estimated number of pages affected: 37 3 (currently)

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No

Function details:

This task makes the changes listed below on locked WMF staff account (local) user pages iff the lock reason makes it clear that the account was locked due to the member of staff no longer working for the Foundation.

Adding | former = true to the {{user info}} template where present
Removing {{former staff}} (as | former = true does this automatically)
Removing Category:Wikimedia Foundation staff where it has been added manually

This task only runs on specified user pages, but is not exclusion compliant by design.

Unlikely to get to 10 edits any time soon, but the 3 from this trial run: Special:Diff/1150326465, Special:Diff/1150326494, Special:Diff/1150326535 — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 14:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't Estimated number of pages affected: 37 (varies) mean there are 37 pages at the moment meeting the criteria for editing? If not, wondering where the specific number comes from. – SD0001 (talk) 16:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've amended that — there were 37 pages in Category:Wikimedia Foundation staff. This only acts on (certain) locked accounts. I can't imagine it'll be a very active task here, as most members of staff use global user pages. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 16:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Low-volume, and already running on another project. – SD0001 (talk) 12:38, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
