*****:Yes these edits are valuable work in the aim of assessing all articles under the new project-independent quality ratings. Firstly they draw attention to the fact that the article has not yet been assessed. (In fact it kind of worked on [[1872 in Bolivia]] because three days later an editor came along and added a rating and WikiProjects, although they added a duplicate banner shell ...) It populates [[:Category:Unassessed articles]] which helps editors to find articles which need assessing. And it invites/encourages the assessment with the blank {{para|class}} parameter. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 07:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Revision as of 07:48, 29 June 2023

Operator: Qwerfjkl (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 15:45, Tuesday, May 30, 2023 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: On PAWS

Function overview: Add {{Wikiproject banner shell}} to talk pages without WikiProjects

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): User talk:Qwerfjkl#Bot work, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Articles without Wikiprojects

Edit period(s): One time run (unless more are necessary in the future)

Estimated number of pages affected: Around 150,000

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

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

Function details: The bot will act on all talk pages that either don't exist, or don't have WikiProjects (excluding pages that already have {{WPBS}}). Using ORES (>90% probability results only), it will determine whether the article is a biography, the quality of the article, and what WikiProjects should be applied, and it will then add them. Some testing of this can be seen at User talk:Qwerfjkl#Bot work. I have attempleted to follow MOS:TALKORDER, though I suspect there will be a GIGO issue on at least a few pages.

Discussion

  • I have reviewed the test work and find it overly conservative. (This is probably the right thing to do.) I look forward to human editors saving hundreds of hours by having the bot tag the obvious cases. I have notified WikiProject Biography, since they should expect to see a sudden spike in tagged articles. WikiProject tagging bots have been used successfully and uncontroversially in the past (see, e.g., Category:Automatically assessed biography articles, which contains about 300K articles, and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Dreamy Jazz Bot 4), and it's particularly important to have WikiProject Biography tagged on bios, because the banner can be used to add an extra BLP warning.

    • @WhatamIdoing, good to see I'm an experienced bot op. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also support this request. Are there any more details on how it will "determine ... the quality of the article"? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
