Automated or manual?[edit]

Are these articles automatically added here once they are added to Category:Animation and don't have and infobox or it is manually added here? I'm sorry to tag you, I just saw you might care. @BrownHairedGirl, @Trialpears. Danidamiobi (talk) 08:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should be populated through (manually) adding |needs-infobox=yes= to {{WikiProject Animation}}. I think I still have approval for a bot to remove them automatically if there is an infobox, but the reverse is a bad idea since you may not actually want an infobox on all pages. --Trialpears (talk) 09:00, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Danidamiobi: @Trialpears has it right. The Category:Animation articles needing infoboxes is populated by the |needs-infobox=yes parameter on {{WikiProject Animation}} BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:03, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @BrownHairedGirl and @Trialpears. I was actually asking because I want to replicate the same log of articles needing infoboxes for the Africa cinema portal I am working on as a Wikipedian in Residence for a cinema focused institution.

I am quite puzzled on how to implement a log like this (Animation articles needing infoboxes). I understand Lua and create templates pretty well so if I could get a guide or doc, even if it's to get articles needing infoboxes for a given category, I would be super glad.

@Danidamiobi: if you want to get helpful replies, you need to be much more precise in your language.

A log is a record of events or actions. It seems to me that you may intend to refer to a tracking category. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
