Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): 3-4 times a week.
Estimated number of pages affected: around 2 to 3000.
Namespace(s): artcile talk, category talk, file talk, template talk.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No.
Function details: Since last few months, I have been using my other account (Usernamekiran (AWB)) for inserting {{WikiProject Organized crime}} on the talkpages that fall under the scope of wikiproject. So far I have inserted banner on thousands pages, and there has been no mistake, nobody has objected yet. I can sort the targets properly (Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories). The bot will not do any other changes other than adding this banner. And basic things like adding banner shell if banners exceed 3, old ProD.
Discussion
[edit]Is your only estimate that this will be 6 to 12000 edits per week? — xaosflux Talk 02:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Xaosflux: No. At max, there are around 4 thousand pages remaining that needs to be tagged with the organised crime banner. I think, using the bot, I will rag around 3 thousand pages. The ones that need human judgement, will be done semi automatically from non-bot a/c. I meant, I will run the bot 3-4 times a week. Given if i get done 1000 pages done in one day/session, then the entire task will be done in like 4 days. If not, Iwill be using bot like 3-4 times a week. I think this task will take 2 weeks to finish. I apologise for the confusion. —usernamekiran(talk) 08:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I re-checked. I can't be sure about exact number of pages to be tagged with banner, but they appear to be more than 7000. In previous calculations, I had not included the terrorist organisations. —usernamekiran(talk) 13:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Usernamekiran: In the past, WikiProject tagging runs have had the potential to be controversial when not carefully discussed with WikiProjects beforehand. Please create a discussion at the WikiProject linking to this BRFA and to your proposed list of categories to be tagged. ~ Rob13Talk 07:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @BU Rob13: Hi. The wikiproject in discussion is inactive. I am trying to bring it back to at least semi active status. The tagging was discussed on a few different venues, including Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Organized crime, talkpage of Northamerica1000, my talkpage, and very briefly (just a passing mention though) on your talkpage as well. As I mentioned previously, I already tagged 2-3 thousand pages using AWB through my other account (Usernamekiran (AWB)); nobody has taken any objection, and there were no mistakes either. The proposed list of categories is always in work. One can see it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories, Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories/Sandbox 1, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories/Sandbox 2. If there are any doubts or questions, please ask me. Regards, —usernamekiran(talk) 18:11, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Even if the result is silence, please link to this BRFA from the WikiProject talk page. Doing at least that is considered a best practice before any form of automated tagging. ~ Rob13Talk 18:13, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @BU Rob13: okie-dokie (done: special:diff/827454234). Also, to keep the track of activity/lists created for bot (using AWB), I recently created this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories/documentation. Also, do you think it would be appropriate to post {{please see}} to the 7-8 users who are interested in this wikiproject? —usernamekiran(talk) 20:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- AnomieBOT is already approved for this task. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 19:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pppery: Hi. BU Rob's bot is also approved for this task. If this is approved, I can work on it myself, I will not have to bother/nag other bot-op again n again. Also, once I am finished with organised crime, I can start working on WP:SPY. —usernamekiran(talk) 19:41, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Usernamekiran: I see this kind of stalled out, is there still work that would be done on this task? If so, can you update the summary above to reflect the current estimates ("6 to 12000" edits a week is too vague). — xaosflux Talk 17:29, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Xaosflux: Currently, there are around 5000 pages tagged with the banner. I am not sure how much more there are. But a big chunk consisting of terrorism groups is remaining. I am guessing around 4000ish pages in total. 3,500 can be tagged with the bot; a few (supposedly 500) would require human judgement, these can be tagged with the non-bot account. These are the estimated numbers of the pages, unfortunately I cant say much about my timing though. Once done with that wikiproject banner, I will start with wikiproject Espionage, which really needs it (special:diff/842199888, and special:diff/842065860. —usernamekiran(talk) 18:16, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- @Usernamekiran: Have you fixed the code to handle that edge-case in future? ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 21:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, i havent had much access to a computer recently. I had solution, but just in mind. I am sort of stuck there. So I contacted Primefac regarding that a couple of days ago. But I wouldnt be able to say anything for sure till I get hold of my computer again. I hope I will be able to find the a solution then. —usernamekiran(talk) 19:51, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
