== Bot to fix The Lord of the Rings redirect ==

I am requesting that a bot be assigned to fix links to [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]]. The correct link they should be using is [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]], where the original link redirects to. [[User:Spidey104|<span style="color:blue;">'''Spidey'''</span>]][[User talk:Spidey104#top|<span style="color:red;">''104''</span>]] 13:22, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:{{ping|Spidey104}} is [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]] going to be retargeted? -- [[User:Magioladitis|Magioladitis]] ([[User talk:Magioladitis|talk]]) 13:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

::{{ping|Magioladitis}} No, it will not. Naming conventions establish that [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]] is the correct title for the article, so there is no reason to expect 'The Lord of the Rings film trilogy' to be retargeted. I have already corrected all of the various other redirects to [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]], but this one has too many articles using that link for me to handle.

:::{{reply to|Spidey104}} Please see [[WP:NOTBROKEN]].  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 18:43, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:{{ec}}{{Reply to|Spidey104}} I'm confused.  Why would we want to de-redirect all the inbound links to [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]]?  Isn't that the purpose of redirects, to transparently point the user to the right name? Could you link to the recent consensus to make this kind of change? Doing a mass change like this needs a very clear consensus to make the change and I'd really prefer to see a RFC endorsing this action prior to us changing ~550 articles and a great many other pages.[[User:Hasteur|Hasteur]] ([[User talk:Hasteur|talk]]) 18:49, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

::{{reply to|David Levy}} "Not broken" does not apply here as this is typically used within the piping of a link and not in the link itself. It looks bad to have this incorrectly. [[User:Spidey104|<span style="color:blue;">'''Spidey'''</span>]][[User talk:Spidey104#top|<span style="color:red;">''104''</span>]] 20:18, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:::{{reply to|Spidey104}} Unless the redirect is unclear, misleading or targeted to an article other than the one intended (which "The Lord of the Rings film trilogy" isn't), there's no need to "fix" links to it.  [[WP:NOTBROKEN]]'s current wording focuses primarily on piped links, but the first sentence ("There is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles.") is key.  There's no need to expend resources on the replacement of functional links that you feel "look bad" (though it's considered acceptable to include such changes in edits that also accomplish other improvements).  The section previously was clearer on this point.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 20:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
::{{reply to|Hasteur}} I'm confused by your comments. [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]] redirects to [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]]. I am asking for all [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]] links to be changed to [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]] links. Isn't it better to transparently point the user to the right name with the actual right name instead of a redirect?

::::You keep referring to the redirect as "incorrect".  The mere fact that it isn't the article's actual title doesn't mean that.  "The Lord of the Rings film trilogy" leads to the intended article and clearly and unambiguously identifies its subject.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 20:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::[[User:David Levy|David]], you're right that I shouldn't call the link "incorrect" but I can definitely call it sloppy. Redirects serve a purpose, but the continued use of this redirect makes Wikipedia look sloppy, unprofessional, and amateurish whenever anyone clicks on the link.

::::::{{reply to|Spidey104}}You're entitled to your opinion, but it means that most of the encyclopedia "look[s] sloppy, unprofessional, and amateurish".  (I just viewed fifty random articles, forty-five of which contained redirects.)  Do you realize how disruptive it would be to deploy bots to "fix" these links across millions of articles?  Do you regard this particular case as special (and if so, why)?  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 00:23, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::::{{reply to|David Levy}}Thank you for pointing out one of many reasons why no one outside of the Wikipedia community takes Wikipedia seriously. No, I don't regard this one as a special case. I have fixed the sloppy use of redirects I have found before, but this one is a larger obstacle than I have encountered before. Why would it be disruptive to have bots make thousands of tedious edits that help clean-up Wikipedia? It's the only reason bots are used. [[User:Spidey104|<span style="color:blue;">'''Spidey'''</span>]][[User talk:Spidey104#top|<span style="color:red;">''104''</span>]] 00:32, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
::::::::{{reply to|Spidey104}} I'm sorry that you don't understand why deploying bots to edit ~4 million articles — purely to "fix" links that aren't broken (and then ''re-edit'' the pages whenever a redirect appears again) — would be disruptive.  I'm baffled as to how our failure to engage in such a task discourages the general public from taking Wikipedia seriously.
::::::::Yes, bots are used to perform tedious edits that help to clean up Wikipedia.  In this instance, no cleanup is needed; the links that you've deemed "sloppy" are fully functional.  Please refrain from editing pages solely to "fix" them.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 01:18, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::{{Ping|Spidey104}} I suspect some cross-purposes here.  When someone clicks on the link, they are taken straight to [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]]- for example in [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy|this]] link.  They will never see the redirect page if everything is functioning correctly.  The obvious exception is when a page move leaves double redirects.  A bot will clean these up, by fixing the double redirects. All&nbsp;the&nbsp;best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'',&nbsp;<small>20:08,&nbsp;11&nbsp;May&nbsp;2014&nbsp;(UTC).</small><br />
:{{Ping|Spidey104}} From your concerns, I was thinking that maybe a fourth film was released, so that the series wasn't a trilogy anymore. But no, the [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] article says: "From 2001 to 2003, [[New Line Cinema]] released ''[[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy|The Lord of the Rings]]'' as a trilogy of live-action films that were filmed in New Zealand and directed by [[Peter Jackson]]." I'm afraid I don't see the point of moving to a ''less specific'' title, and see from [[talk:The Lord of the Rings (film series)#Revert to The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]] that there is some desire to move the title back to ''film trilogy''. Your request might be viewed as an attempt to preempt such a reversal of the move. Considering all that is ''truly'' "sloppy" about Wikipedia, this request is pointless. [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 01:06, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
::{{Reply to|Wbm1058}} I think some of the "How should we title this?" comes from trying to define what role does [[The Hobbit (film series)]] have in affecting the larger series set since there are multiple characters/scenes/items that cross over from one set to the other which makes the larger series set complicated.  I stand by my previous assertion that "fixing" this redirect is against the currently existing consensus as endorsed/ratified by core policy.  If {{U|Spidey104}} wants to persue this further, they should really open the RFC I mentioned above with probably a notice on [[WP:CENT]] and a specific invitation to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Film]] to comment on the proposal.

== Bot Request ==
{{Resolved}}
I am requesting a bot to revert any edits done to the Death Section of the article Premakeerthi De Alwis, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premakeerthi_de_Alwis
The death section has been vandalized to include a reference to a book published by the wife of late Mr. De Alwis. The book violates several Wikipedia policies and has been addressed by several independent Administrators (can be viewed in the Talk page).
Therefore, I am kindly requesting a bot to be placed on this page, so that the vandalism to this page can be minimized.

Thank you.  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ramya20|Ramya20]] ([[User talk:Ramya20|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ramya20|contribs]]) 14:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Remove unnecessary 'Image requested' templates ==

Could a bot check transclusions of {{tl|Image requested}}, on talk pages, and remove them if the corresponding article includes an image? It would probably be best to ignore flag icons and similar. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 09:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
:{{Reply to|Pigsonthewing}} Plain Image requests yes, however if a image request is of a specific item (i.e. [[Talk:AOL]]) I don't think a bot can in good conscience remove the image. [[User:Hasteur|Hasteur]] ([[User talk:Hasteur|talk]]) 14:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

:So just looking at a random request: A photo request was placed on [[Talk:Acantharea]] on 8 March 2013 ([[special:diff/542777231|diff]]), populating [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of palaeontology]]. At the time there is already an image file in the article, [[:File:Haeckel Acanthometra.jpg]], albeit an artists' drawing, not a photograph. Should the bot remove the request? If not what is the algorithm for knowing not to do that? [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 19:33, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
:Another example: [[John Ogonowski]] – Is the memorial panel all that was wanted, or should we hold out for a photo of the person? The ([[special:diff/451110000|diff]]) shows that removing such requests may not be trivial: there are three separate templates requesting an image.

== Requesting a bot to automatically generate featured topic progress templates for categories ==

Can anyone write a bot that could scan all the categories under the jurisdiction of a particular Wikproject, fill in a template like [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Ferugliotheriidae|this]] along with a calculation for what percent along the way the category is to each article having featured status, then paste that template as a new section on the category talk page and in a new subpage for the wikiproject listing all of the newly generated templates,  vaguely like the bot that does the [[WP:DINO/PP|popular pages]] template? I think a bot like that would be really useful for helping wikiprojects evaluate which categories are most in need of work and which could be most easily made into good or featured topics.

== Migrate CleanupListing tool from Toolserver to Wikimedia Labs ==

I would like to volunteer to migrate the [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/ CleanupListing tool] from [[Toolserver]] to [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Labs|Wikimedia Labs]]. I am bringing it up here because I would be creating a bot to update bot userspace pages with cleanup listings. Toolserver is scheduled to be decommissioned around June 30, 2014.
===History===
* [[User:WolterBot|WolterBot]] appears to be the original version of this bot. Last run March 2010. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Michigan/Cleanup listing|Sample listing]]
* {{User|Svick}} has a tool running weekly on Toolserver that generates cleanup listings. Sample listings: [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Michigan Michigan] ([http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Michigan&format=csv CSV], [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListingByCat.php?project=Michigan by cat], [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListingHistory.php?project=Michigan history])
* {{User|Hhhippo}} created [[User:HhhipBot|HhhipBot]] which takes a CSV file from the Svick tool and creates enhanced lists. [[User:HhhipBot/Cleanup listing/Physics|Sample listing]]
===Previous discussions===
* [[Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 37#Replacement for Wolterbot]]
* [[Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 54#Merge requests by subject]]
===Proposed enhancements===
* Add sub-categories of [[:Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax]] per [[User talk:Svick/Archive 4#Add new categories to cleanup listing]] by {{User|Renata3}}.
* Display new and resolved issues like HhhipBot.
* Group issues by type like HhhipBot.
* Create a Wikipedia page for the "by cat" list with {{xtag|section|s}} tags that can be [[Help:Labeled section transclusion|transcluded individually]].
* Use a Wikipedia page to maintain the list of WikiProjects that are participating.

== Spaces after initials in page names ==

In a recent discussion on whether or not to allow more leniency towards omitting spaces between a period and an initial in page names, {{u|In ictu oculi}} remarked this would probably cause problems ''unless a bot can prevent undesirable effects''.

I have a [[User:Vanisaac/data|semicolon delimited data file]], with the first item on each line being an article title, and the rest (~100-900, averaging 250 Japanese characters) being items that should be found within that article. I would like a data dump on which items either do not appear in an article, or appear more than one time, with an indication of the article for which it does not conform, either by grouping by article, or indicating individually for each entry. You can replace the above data file with the results if you wish.

== Stub templates renamed ==
{{Resolved}}
At [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 May 14#Category:England_MP_stubs]] it was agreed to rename the following two templates, whose previous name is ambiguous:

* [[Template:England-MP-stub]] to [[Template:England-pre1707-MP-stub]]
* [[Template:Wales-England-MP-stub]] to [[Template:Wales-pre1707-MP-stub]]

The renaming has taken place, and I now want to delete the redirects from the old ambiguous titles.  However, that cannot be done until all uses of the template have been updated.

Please can some kind bot-owner update all article-space uses of these old names?

== Changing USA to U.S. but only in pages with certain templates ==

As stated in the guideline [[WP:NOTUSA]], the term "U.S." is preferred over "USA", with some exceptions. I primarily edit geographic infoboxes, so it occurred to me that a bot could make many of the edits I have made such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=North_Pass&diff=610877286&oldid=557243573 this] without much risk of error.

My idea is to have a bot that would make the change 'USA → U.S.' ''only if'' USA appears within a geographic infobox template (such as [[Template:Infobox mountain|Infobox mountain]], lake, river, mountain pass, etc.) and only then make the same change in the body of the article if USA appears there as well. Bot action would include a linked reference to the MOS guideline [[WP:NOTUSA]] in the edit summary.

My rationale is if USA appears in the these templates, it is almost certainly a part of location description of a geographic feature in the United States, so the change to "U.S." (rather than to "US") would be appropriate. I have already made a couple hundred of these edits myself and it seems the vast majority of times, USA is appearing in small, under-developed or inactive articles. It is unlikely these articles would also have an exception term such as "Team USA"; and I suppose you could program exceptions, so the bot would ignore certain character strings such "Team USA", as an added measure to reduce false positives.

While a bot working under these rules would only be fixing a small percentage of total number misuses of USA globally within WP, it would take care of most of the articles on geographic features, and do so with a very low error rate I expect.

Is it feasible for someone to create this bot? --[[User:Racerx11|<span style="color:orange;">Racer</span><span style="color:black;">X<sup>11</sup></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Racerx11|Talk to me]]''</small>''[[Special:Contributions/Racerx11|<sup>Stalk me</sup>]]''  00:21, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

On second thought, maybe not. I just remembered the  infobox location map names often include USA in front of the the state name, 'map = USA Washington' for example. In some cases I think this is necessary and with some states it's optional. Either way the resulting text "U.S. Washington" would cause an error as it would be an invalid value for the map parameter. And there's probably more things I haven't considered. --[[User:Racerx11|<span style="color:orange;">Racer</span><span style="color:black;">X<sup>11</sup></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Racerx11|Talk to me]]''</small>''[[Special:Contributions/Racerx11|<sup>Stalk me</sup>]]''  00:35, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Could the bot's action be confined to only certain parameter values within the infobox templates? The 'map_caption = ' and 'location = ' parameters for example are two places where the term is likely to appear, and neither of those parameters require specific syntax in order to be functional. --[[User:Racerx11|<span style="color:orange;">Racer</span><span style="color:black;">X<sup>11</sup></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Racerx11|Talk to me]]''</small>''[[Special:Contributions/Racerx11|<sup>Stalk me</sup>]]''  00:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
:* There is an issue with the "Roads" infobox (one of the places we use ISO 3166-3 due to the project's local standards), which would require the undeletion of a small template before this could be done.  I will try to find the template name and get it undeleted anyway, since it is a Good Thing.
:* "US" is better than "U.S.".   There are various reasons for this, firstly it is a valid [[ISO 3166-2]] code, so it is especially good for templates where it can be manipulated, secondly you don't get the issues with multiple fullstops as at the end of the previous sentence, thirdly style in general (and on Wikipedia in particular) is shifting away from dotted abbreviations, and fourthly whenever we use US with UK, USSR, USAF (''US Army and USAF'')  we don't dot the abbreviation.

:::OK, so could a bot change "USA" to "US" in only certain parameters of geographic infobox templates, assuming we can get around any foreseeable problems, and change "U.S." to "US" while we're at it? --[[User:Racerx11|<span style="color:orange;">Racer</span><span style="color:black;">X<sup>11</sup></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Racerx11|Talk to me]]''</small>''[[Special:Contributions/Racerx11|<sup>Stalk me</sup>]]''  15:18, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Sure:

::location, photo_caption, map_caption, range, first_ascent

* [[Template:Infobox mountain range|Infobox mountain range]]

These are the templates I am familiar with and the ones I am interested in for the bot. If the bot designer really wants to carry it further with deserts, swamps, etc. that would be up to them, and they should  get an idea from the above which parameters to fix and which to avoid, as well as I can decide, for those. --[[User:Racerx11|<span style="color:orange;">Racer</span><span style="color:black;">X<sup>11</sup></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Racerx11|Talk to me]]''</small>''[[Special:Contributions/Racerx11|<sup>Stalk me</sup>]]''  23:43, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposal:  Per [[Category talk:Integers#199E03 vs. 199e03]] (no objection, from 2011, but {{u|PrimeHunter}} still hasn't gotten around to it)
All articles (not redirects) in {{cat|Integers}} which start with a digit are to have sort key set as follows (ignoring commas and spaces):  
;One digit "''d''" or "''d'' (number)"
;; 0''d''
;Two digits "''de''" or "''de'' (number)"
;; ''d'' ''e''
;Three digits ("''def''"), etc
;; ''def''
;; or not set
;Four digits ("''defg''"), etc.
;; ''d''E03 ''defg''
; Five digits ("''defgh''"), etc.
;; ''d''E04 ''defgh''
; ... etc
; If it starts with a digit, and is not of the form '''digit-string''' or '''digit-string''' (number), or if starts with a "0" and and is not ''just'' "0"
;; - ''pagename''

To be run occasionally.  As {{cat|Integers}} presently has only 384 members, it doesn't cost much.  I have no objection to an AWB addon, but it would require a new macro (template) to compute the key.  — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]]  [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

== Asking for Noting bot ==

Pinging {{u|Ceradon}} for status on something that seems to have been dropped.  If Ceradon is no longer active, or does not respond, can anyone else provide information? Please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_requests/Archive_59&oldid=609113384#Repeat_request_DYK_notification_bot Did You Know Noting bot].  {{u|Matty.007}} originally input the request on Feb 23, 2014, and {{u|Ceradon}} said on March 2, 2014 that he was coding this.  Ceradon again replied March 28 that the coding was going well, and he should have the task filed by Monday, March 31.  We are now two months past that date, and no bot in sight. It looks like Ceradon created [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Cerabot II]], [[User:Cerabot/Umbox]] and [[User:Cerabot/Run/Task 2]] for DYK, but nothing has been done with these. I don't see anything on [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval|Bots/Requests for approval]] that bear Ceradon's name, or anything in the bots denied.

*{{U|APerson}}, Just to make sure, recapping what was requested of this bot. There should be a feature to "opt out" of getting this bot, enabled/disabled under individual user Preferences settings, not the nomination template. The criteria for this bot is found on the nomination template, and not the article history. When a DYK nomination template is created for any article, if "created by" is other than "nominated by" or "self nominated", a bot posts on the individual user's talk page to notify them of the nomination.  This means registered users, IP addresses and unregistered users listed under "created by".  Some nominations have multiple creators that include the nominator's name as a creator.  In such a case, all but the nominator listed as "created by" would get the notification.

::::::{{u|Maile66}}: I was wondering if it's fine if the "feature to 'opt out'" which you described is not enabled through the preferences, as you said, and is instead implemented using {{tlf|bots}} as the flag telling the bot that the user has opted out. [[User:APerson|APerson]]&nbsp;([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 21:16, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
:::::::{{U|APerson}}, I guess the part I don't understand is how any bot would know to tell another bot the user opted out. It should be a blanket opt out by user, enabled or disabled at the user's discretion. And the opt out should not be something that could be done on the templates themselves.  Let me explain how the DYK nominating process currently works, and why this notification bot has become necessary.  Let's say APerson has created a new article but doesn't think it's ready for DYK, which means an appearance on the main page.  Meanwhile, because there is no ownership on Wikipedia, Maile66 can come along and see that new article out there, and nominate it at DYK without APerson knowing it happened. The "created by" editors are frustrated that they are not notified.  On the other hand, some editors contribute to so many articles that they don't want all those notifications. But it's the article creator/expander who should make that decision, not the nominator who creates the template. The only way I know that could happen is with Preferences.  Please explain how a bot would know to notify another bot about this. [[User:Maile66|— Maile ]] ([[User talk:Maile66|talk]]) 22:46, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

== Image cpationing. ==

Recently I requested that a script assisted tool for pulling image captions from Article pages was developed.

This was implemented as part of Vada.

I was now owndering if it was feasible to have a bot do essentialy the same task as the VADA script, automatically for recent uploads. 

I've found that in MANY instances descriptions for images can be found in the captions where they are used.

Automating the caption genneration process would assist image patrollers like me, by furthe reducing the worload of doing mundane tasks, allowing more focus on the edge cases, requireing greater investigation.

On that note I would also appreciate it if someone could write a bot to identify Commons candidates.

Why would it be disruptive to have bots make thousands of tedious edits that help clean-up Wikipedia? It's the only reason bots are used. [[User:Spidey104|<span style="color:blue;">'''Spidey'''</span>]][[User talk:Spidey104#top|<span style="color:red;">''104''</span>]] 00:32, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
::::::::{{reply to|Spidey104}} I'm sorry that you don't understand why deploying bots to edit ~4 million articles — purely to "fix" links that aren't broken (and then ''re-edit'' the pages whenever a redirect appears again) — would be disruptive.  I'm baffled as to how our failure to engage in such a task discourages the general public from taking Wikipedia seriously.
::::::::Yes, bots are used to perform tedious edits that help to clean up Wikipedia.  In this instance, no cleanup is needed; the links that you've deemed "sloppy" are fully functional.  Please refrain from editing pages solely to "fix" them.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 01:18, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::{{Ping|Spidey104}} I suspect some cross-purposes here.  When someone clicks on the link, they are taken straight to [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]]- for example in [[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy|this]] link.  They will never see the redirect page if everything is functioning correctly.  The obvious exception is when a page move leaves double redirects.  A bot will clean these up, by fixing the double redirects.

:{{Ping|Spidey104}} From your concerns, I was thinking that maybe a fourth film was released, so that the series wasn't a trilogy anymore. But no, the [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] article says: "From 2001 to 2003, [[New Line Cinema]] released ''[[The Lord of the Rings film trilogy|The Lord of the Rings]]'' as a trilogy of live-action films that were filmed in New Zealand and directed by [[Peter Jackson]]." I'm afraid I don't see the point of moving to a ''less specific'' title, and see from [[talk:The Lord of the Rings (film series)#Revert to The Lord of the Rings film trilogy]] that there is some desire to move the title back to ''film trilogy''. Your request might be viewed as an attempt to preempt such a reversal of the move. Considering all that is ''truly'' "sloppy" about Wikipedia, this request is pointless.

::{{Reply to|Wbm1058}} I think some of the "How should we title this?" comes from trying to define what role does [[The Hobbit (film series)]] have in affecting the larger series set since there are multiple characters/scenes/items that cross over from one set to the other which makes the larger series set complicated.  I stand by my previous assertion that "fixing" this redirect is against the currently existing consensus as endorsed/ratified by core policy.  If {{U|Spidey104}} wants to persue this further, they should really open the RFC I mentioned above with probably a notice on [[WP:CENT]] and a specific invitation to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Film]] to comment on the proposal.

:::::I apologize for the late reply, but as you can see from [[Special:Contributions/Spidey104|my editing history]] I have been away for some time. Also, I am posting this as a final reply to explain parts of my position that have been misinterpreted by other editors, but I am no longer attempting to sway anyone's opinion or get a bot to perform this action. This is merely for information dissemination.
:::::David Levy, I think your bafflement comes from exaggerating my claim. I said thousands (when I should have said hundreds) and you interpreted that as millions. Do I need to grab a calculator? Also, I never said the links weren't functional, and the sloppiness to which I referred to was how ("Redirected from ''incorrect link''") shows up whenever a redirect link is used. It doesn't appear sloppy for the new article linked to but the article now left behind because it shows a degree of laziness on the part of editors who wrote that article. Many [[WP:Readers first|readers]] will justifiably wonder if they can trust the information in that article if the links aren't even properly maintained. A professional website for a company would be considered bad or sloppy if it had the same type of problems.
:::::Rich Farmbrough, see what is directly above.
:::::Wbm1058, if you read the discussion you linked to you will see having "film trilogy" in the title of the article is not supported by Wikipedia policy.

== MediaWiki message synchronization ==

A (sysop) bot that would be able to synchronize the messages in the MediaWiki namespace to the /en-GB and /en-CA subpages of a MediaWiki page, so that these variants of American English  do not miss the customizations of these messages. The bot would need to run regularly, updating the messages in case primary messages have changed. —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 14:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
== Making Category:Wikipedia template categories a container category ==

In theory, [[:Category:Wikipedia template categories]] should be a container category with nothing but subcategories. In practice, it's not. Could a bot go through the main categories and systematically remove every subcategory from [[:Category:Wikipedia template categories]]? This is a massive undertaking I'm aware (approximately 24k subcategories into a few main ones). For example, [[:Category:10-Team bracket templates]] is in [[:Category:Tournament bracket templates]] which is in [[:Category:Sports templates]], etc., etc. If it was cleaned out, I think it would be useful as a holding area for templates that haven't been categorized. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 19:19, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

:::{{replyto|Ricky81682|Mdann52}} Regarding categories in template code: using <code><nowiki>|{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> for the sortkey: this has two common reasons. The first, when used used on categories that are either bare, or wrapped in {{tag|includeonly}}, is a valid purpose: it overrides any {{tlc|DEFAULTSORT:}} that may be present on the transcluding page, so that the transcluding page sorts in "natural" order. The second, when used on categories that are wrapped in {{tag|noinclude}}, is obsolete: it excludes the namespace from the sort order. At one time, templates always sorted under T, because the namespace was taken into account for the "natural" sort order; but somewhat more than five years ago the system was changed so that the namespace is ignored, meaning that constructs like {{tag|noinclude|content=<nowiki>[[Category:Foo|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>}} may be simplified to {{tag|noinclude|content=<nowiki>[[Category:Foo]]</nowiki>}} in the majority of cases. The only times that such simplification may not be advisable is if the template has a {{tlc|DEFAULTSORT:}}, which is rare. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 10:23, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

* http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator/?list&lang=en&mode=tx&q=claim[31:(tree[618123,15642541][][279])]
shows several cantons of France that have an article in 10 or more Wikipedias but not in the English Wikipedia. Here is some research:
*item class: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q184188 canton of France

* There is no canton specific article in English Wikipedia [[:Category:Cantons of France]] that is not matched to an instance of "canton of France" in Wikidata: [http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/autolist2.php?language=en&project=wikipedia&category=&depth=12&wdq=claim%5B31%3A184188%5D&mode=cat_no_wdq&statementlist=&run=Run&label_contains=&label_contains_not=&chunk_size=10000] , the page lists only dab pages, list articles or some other non-canton specific article
*instances in Wikidata that have no item in [[:Category:Cantons of France]] [http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/autolist2.php?language=en&project=wikipedia&category=Cantons%20of%20France&depth=1&wdq=claim%5B31%3A184188%5D&mode=wdq_no_cat&statementlist=&run=Run&label_contains=&label_contains_not=&chunk_size=10000] : 3225

So, it would be nice if a bot could use data from Wikidata or/and French Wikipedia to create stubs or little articles.

== Missing Image Skyline within County Seats of the United States ==

This isn't so much of a BOT request but rather a hidden category request.  I would like to have a hidden category to check entries in subcategories of [[:Category:County seats of the United States|Category:County seats of the United States]] for the image_skyline variable within the [[:Template:Infobox settlement|Infobox settlement template]].  If no image_skyline variable, then put it in [[:Category:County Seats Missing Skyline Photo|Category:County Seats Missing Skyline Photo]].  Most county seats are significant enough settlements that they should have a photo associated with them.  --[[User:Ichabod|Ichabod]] ([[User talk:Ichabod|talk]]) 20:15, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
:a) You obviously haven't been to many county seats in the west if you think they are necessarily significant settlements.
:b) Can't you do this without a bot by simply adding code to the infobox template, eg. <code><nowiki>{{#if:{{{image_skyline|}}}||[[Category:County Seats Missing Skyline Photo]]}}</nowiki></code>?

== Notification of speedies ==

[[User:Mendaliv|Mendaliv]] brought up a great point [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=614130353 over at AN/I]. I imagine if this was done with proper parameters we could ensure that every creator of a tagged article is notified, which would resolve this rather long-standing issue in the community. Of course, this may have been presented and denied before and I'm just unaware... but I figure, in the best interests of the community, the question should at least be formally asked. <small style="color:#999;white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:lightgrey 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">&mdash; [[User:Coffee|<big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee</big>]] // [[user talk:Coffee|<span style="color:#009900;">have a cup</span>]] // [[Special:Contributions/Coffee|<span style="color:#4682b4;">beans</span>]] // </small> 11:47, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
*{{reply to|Coffee}} just out of curiosity, would this take the place of automatic notifications for users with Twinkle, or be an alternative to it?

**As the guy who proposed roughly this over at ANI, the thought was that it would be used primarily where the editor who left the speedy tag didn't give the notice for one reason or another (e.g., not using TW, doesn't believe in notices, etc). My thought was that the logic the bot would use would be:
**#If the bot sees an edit leaving a speedy tag (other than, say, U1 and a few others); and
**#More than (something like) five minutes have passed since that edit in 1 happened; and
**#The article still exists; and
**#There were no edits to the creator's user talk page matching a regex that searched for a link to the article and the phrase "speed(il)?y delet(e)|(ion)"; and
**#Certain other conditions were met (e.g., editor not a banned user, is marked retired, or other circumstances where they really shouldn't get a notice); then
**#The bot would leave the standard speedy deletion notice. —/[[User:Mendaliv|'''M'''<small>endaliv</small>]]/<sup><small>[[User talk:Mendaliv|2¢]]</small></sup>/<sub><small>[[Special:Contributions/Mendaliv|Δ's]]</small></sub>/ 15:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
**{{reply to|G S Palmer}} As Mendaliv said, this is something we'd like to see used in conjunction with already accepted methods of notification. The bot would kind of be the final coverall to ensure that everyone who ''should'' be notified that their article is about to be speedily deleted, (or just was), is. <small style="color:#999;white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:lightgrey 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">&mdash; [[User:Coffee|<big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee</big>]] // [[user talk:Coffee|<span style="color:#009900;">have a cup</span>]] // [[Special:Contributions/Coffee|<span style="color:#4682b4;">beans</span>]] // </small> 17:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
*This would require a (somewhat minor) change in policy and maybe a larger discussion, but in general, I support this.  It might result in overnotifications, such as banned users, but I think we have nobot tags that can take care of most of that.  Regardless, the negative effect of notifying where it isn't needed is virtually zero.

*I am keen that we do something like this, though I would like two differences from Mendaliv's proposal. Some of the most bitey deletions are where the article isn't just tagged for deletion but deleted instantly by the tagging admin or otherwise within the five minutes suggested above. So I would suggest that this be an adminbot that could inform people even if the article has been summarily or very speedily deleted (this would require access to deleted edits, hence the need for an adminbot). The other issue is who signs the notice. If the tag is signed by the bot then the bot operator is going to get an awkward amount of user interaction as people turn up at their talkpage wanting to know why their article was deleted. Better in my view to have the template say either this article was deleted by [[user:Example]] or this article was tagged for deletion  by [[user:example]].

*Absolutely not. "We can't get everyone to agree with us that people should be notified about speedies, so we are going to take it out of their hands and notify the creator whether the nominator chose to or not" is a really bad path to go down. If you can get the community to agree to make the notification mandatory, then writing a bot to do so is appropriate. Until then, it's disruptive. This isn't "resolving" an issue, it's simply trying to present those that disagree with you a ''fait accompli''.&mdash;[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 03:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

* Might it be easier to just have a simple notification (not a talk page note, but a notification) any time one of your watched articles gets tagged for any kind of deletion? This will tend to hit the article creator, but also accounts for anyone else with an expressed interest in the article to know about a speedy, whether they've checked their watchlist or not.

== Finding users who misuse their user page for advertisement ==

Based on [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Klaus Hoffmeier|this discussion]] I am wondering if a bot operator is able to compile a list of users who have ''exclusively'' edited their user page. A large fraction of such users is likely to have misused for advertisement. --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 21:44, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
:Looking for "exclusive" edits won't really do the job. Most userpage adverts I've come across have been added to categories, that I've then removed from that page, ruining your exclusive criteria, pages will also have been edited by users and bots removing FUR images as well.

Some might also edit things related to their user page, but usually one or two articles at most.  It is doable, but not sure how much resources. If you went simple and made a list of editors with <50 contribs, and >70% of their contribs contain their user name (user and talk pages), you are going to be pretty darn close.

:::::::::It would need to be an admin bot so that it can look at deleted edits. Otherwise we add insult to injury by both rejecting and deleting the article that someone contributed and then biting them for being left with only edits to their userpage. You also need to check other wikis in case someone is active elsewhere in Wikimedia and has left a welcome in English on their page here. Better I would suggest would be to used advanced search and search for spammy phrases such as "Market leading" in userspace (I've just done a quick trawl and deleted several, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=%22market+leader%22&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&profile=advanced&nsToken=aef7b71df38e4781c4421854f1fa17ef%2B\ there are hundreds more just on that search]).

== Romanian river stub articles ==
{{Resolved}}
Hi, I would like to make a request for a bot to add a low importance rating to 8,000 or so Talk pages of Romania river stub articles. The articles are those that have a WP:Rivers  and a WP:Romania project banner, and have a class of Stub for both projects, and also have an unknown importance for both projects.

The wikicode on the Talk pages is the same, and looks like this, see [[Adona River]] as an example.
 <code><nowiki>  
{{WikiProject Romania|class=Stub|importance=}}
{{river|class=Stub}}

Changed to;

{{WikiProject Romania|class=stub|importance=low}}
{{WikiProject Rivers|class=stub|importance=low}}

I am a member of WP: Rivers and have approval from the project [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rivers#Romanian_river_stub_articles| here]], I also asked User:Afil  [[User_talk:Afil#Romanian_river_stub_articles |here]] who created these articles, who agreed that they can be marked as Low importance.

== fix CNET links ==
{{Resolved}}
I recently noticed that many Wikipedia articles use the CNET news site for one or more references.
That is great -- in general, I wish more people added more references to Wikipedia articles.

Alas, it appears that the CNET news site has (recently?) moved from the "news.com.com" domain name to the "news.cnet.com" domain name.

(Could someone please tell the nice people at CNET that [[Cool URIs don't change]] ?)

Could someone write a bot that converts these references to the new domain name?

For example I manually changed[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Computer_performance&diff=prev&oldid=614095857]

* http://news.com.com/Power+could+cost+more+than+servers,+Google+warns/2100-1010_3-5988090.html
* http://news.cnet.com/Power+could+cost+more+than+servers,+Google+warns/2100-1010_3-5988090.html

and I think I saw another article use
* http://news.com.com/PC+milestone--notebooks+outsell+desktops/2100-1047_3-5731417.html
* http://news.cnet.com/PC+milestone--notebooks+outsell+desktops/2100-1047_3-5731417.html

It seems to me that such substitution is completely mechanical and repetitive and uncontroversial, exactly the sort of thing bots are good at.

I suspect that well-meaning editors may have deleted some of these apparently dead links.
Is there some way a bot could dig through the history and detect such deletes?

[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] I'll start tagging in two days due to other priorities. I see a lot of red-linked categories in the list you gave me. Can you please clean it up? Thanks, [[User:Magioladitis|Magioladitis]] ([[User talk:Magioladitis|talk]]) 15:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

== US code - dead links (help me learn to make bots?)==

The wiki is full of broken links of this form:
*[http://uscode.house.gov/download/title_17.shtml U.S. Code Title 17]{{dl}} via [[United States House of Representatives]]
*[http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/usc.cgi?ACTION=BROWSE&title=17usc U.S. Code Title 17]{{dl}}, via [[United States Government Printing Office]]

{{USCTitles}}  Anyone interested in bot-fixing the dead/broken links?  I'll figure out the form of replacements if someone expresses interest in fulfilling the request.

Perhaps better: anyone willing to help me learn to make bots by learning to make this bot?  I'm working toward it.  I program.  I have a working labs account.  I guess I can ask around per [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Toolserver_features_needed_in_Tool_Labs#End-user-support this] --<span class="nowrap">&#123;&#123;U&#124;[[User:Elvey|Elvey]]&#125;&#125;</span> <sup>([[User talk:Elvey|t]]•[[Special:Contribs/Elvey|c]])</sup> 17:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

:I don't have any ideas about how to do this with a bot. But it is a concern that the instances you mention don't contain a date for the version of the code that was consulted.
