This page has archives. Sections older than 30 days may be automatically archived by when more than 3 sections are present.

This page is for AWB'ers who can't find anything to put it to use on, or who would like to help others with this powerful tool.

Below are tasks for which a page-autoloader with various capabilities would be especially useful. That is, the people posting these tasks need the help of AWB'ers! If you have AWB, please lend a hand.

Please note that Wikipedia:Bot requests sometimes has one-time tasks which can be done easily using AWB.

Two task requests

Hi, there are two tasks that I would be grateful if anyone could undertake:

In this list (131 items), replace (regex) "in the \[\[(g|G)rand (s|S)lam $tennis$\|Grand Slam T" with "in the [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam t"
In these two lists (362 items), replace (non-regex) "|Mixed]]" with "|Mixed doubles]]" (not every article will need this change).

Thanks. --Letcord (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 22:12, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just made some very rapid edits that I apologize for; I accidentally held down the save button in JWB and made them too fast.

Still doing (but slower)... 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 22:22, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obsolete discussion about request 2. Letcord (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we need Mixed doubles? These are supposed to be short titles and there's no such thing as Mixed singles. I think Singles, Doubles, and Mixed is all we really need. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I started doing these since I thought they made sense. Looking at Mixed doubles, it seems like this is the common term? I'll pause the changes for now pending discussion. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 22:38, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "mixed doubles" is the proper term, "mixed" alone is informal. These articles all had either "mixed draw" (which is also informal) or "mixed doubles" until about a week ago, when consensus was found to remove "draw". "Doubles" was also removed from "mixed doubles" (without discussion) from those articles that had it, but I realize now that that was done in error. Wolbo reverted a change to "mixed" alone with the edit summary "Mixed doubles is the name of the event, mixed is never just in isolation". Do you agree @Fyunck(click), so this task can be completed? Letcord (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest I'm not sure I do agree. I see no reason to use anything but Mixed. I like it much better as we have at 1992 WTA Tour It keeps it a single word like the other two disciplines, at least at the tennis year articles. It's not a big deal but it might be good to hear what tennis editors would like on the chart. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:25, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The tennis project is currently bogged down with the great "Win–Loss" vs "Win–loss" debate and similarly significant capitalization issues. "Mixed doubles" is the status quo ante for these articles [1] and was changed without discussion and then objected to by another editor. Do you feel strongly enough about this one to stand in the way of the reversion, or can you let it slide? Letcord (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as there is lukewarm opposition and mixed opinions by multiple editors, I would recommend a RfC before proceeding. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 00:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As shown in my link, it is not the status quo. There were some of "Mixed" and some "Mixed draw", and some "Mixed Doubles." Changing them all to "Mixed doubles" with no discussion seems wrong to me. And remember, Tennis Project as a whole is not bogged down in that debate... that would be tennis vs outside editors. That's fine and dandy and it happens sometimes, but "Mixed" would be more of an internal debate among tennis editors about what works best in the charts we created from scratch. That might not need and RFC but would require at least a little discussion before changing all of the charts to one particular style. Fyunck(click) (talk) 00:37, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"status quo ante" is what I wrote, not "status quo". Please read the definition I linked if you don't understand the difference. My link showed the article you linked before the recent change, which had "Mixed doubles". I am requesting here for an editor to assist getting back to "Mixed doubles". If you obstruct, the only difference is that I'll have to spend an hour reverting the edits manually, which I will do if necessary. You are the sole person standing in the way of this process-abiding change - per WP:BRD myself/Dicklyon boldly changed to "Mixed", Wolbo then reverted, this task would just complete the reversion, and then changing to "Mixed" can be discussed later. Can you please let this task be completed unopposed? Is that possible? Letcord (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, this involves Dicklyon's proposed changes. I filed a bot request with related (but not identical) changes, which I withdrew. The comments on that page might be helpful. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 01:13, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's unrelated. Dicklyon (talk) 00:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For task 2, I've now manually reverted to the status quo ante "Mixed doubles" to complete the R of the WP:BRD process. Thanks to EpicPupper for the help with task 1, and thanks to Fyunck(click) for the obstructionism. Letcord (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Always there to help keep wikipedia safe for our readers. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:17, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updating format of WTA IDs

If someone could please (regex) replace "(\{(WTA|wta) ?(profile)? *\| *\d+)\/[^\|\}]+(\||\})" with "$1$4" for the articles in Category:WTA template with ID different from Wikidata, that would be appreciated. Only the numeric part of the WTA IDs has been needed for some time now, and this will bring these few articles with the old ID format in line with their items on Wikidata and the rest of the player articles on Wikipedia, thus clearing this maintenance category. Thanks, --Letcord (talk) 11:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doing ― Qwerfjkl talk 12:02, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Letcord. ― Qwerfjkl talk 12:31, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwerfjkl, thanks! I've cleared the last few, which required manual checking. Letcord (talk) 02:47, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwerfjkl, if you could please re-run this job that would be great, as the category has been re-populated after all IDs were transferred to Wikidata, exposing the last articles still using the old ID format. Letcord (talk) 22:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Module name correction

Moved from Wikipedia:Bot requests § Module name correction

– ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Location map/data/Sool, Somaliland was renamed to Module:Location map/data/Sool. 24 items have to correct.[2] We have to change Infobox settlement parameter "| pushpin_map = Sool, Somaliland" to "| pushpin_map = Sool." Some parameters are complex. For examples, in Las Anod, "| pushpin_map = Sool, Somaliland#Somaliland#Horn of Africa#Africa" to "| pushpin_map = Sool#Somaliland#Horn of Africa#Africa." Some pages require extended confirmed rights.--Freetrashbox (talk) 02:11, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done all the ones in infoboxes. Haysimo and Qoriley are more complex but can be replaced manually. Cheers! 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 17:36, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have confirmed the change. Thank you for your prompt response.--Freetrashbox (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add category header templates to categories

Please add following templates to mentioned categories:

Template:Roman Catholic churches completed in year category header to all subcategories of Category:Roman Catholic churches by year of completion
Template:Roman Catholic churches completed in decade category header to all subcategories of Category:Roman Catholic churches by decade of completion

These templates are working fine and tested on Category:Roman Catholic churches completed in the 1710s and Category:Roman Catholic churches completed in 1710. All parent cats already exist (templates consist of category content in, for example, this version) and i will create non-existing ones (if any). Jeeputer (talk) 10:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Templates should replace category content. which means the wikitext of pages should only consist of the category header template. Thank you. --Jeeputer (talk) 10:21, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... Bsoyka (talk) 13:29, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done, sorry for the slight delay. All pages updated. Bsoyka (talk) 20:33, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsoyka: Thank you. that was fast enough. :) Jeeputer (talk) 08:19, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Habsburg Monarchy --> Habsburg monarchy move cleanup case fixes

There are about 267 articles in which overcapitalization of "Habsburg Monarchy" is visible in the displayed article, which should eventually be changed to "Habsburg monarchy" per the RM consensus there. Some are plain unpiped links, easy to replace with an explicit pattern, and some are not part of links, and need to be distinguished from occurrences in filenames (e.g. File:Flag of the Habsburg Monarchy.svg, File:Habsburg Monarchy 1789.svg, and others) and reference titles (Fall of the Habsburg Monarchy, Reassessing the Habsburg Monarchy, maybe more). They need to be watched carefully for more filenames and ref titles, so not bot-suitable (unless someone is a wiz at regular expressions for such things). A list of candidates can be generated by files linking to Habsburg Monarchy or Habsburg monarchy -- and there may be others that use the term without linking. There a few weird cases like Relief of Cetingrad which has "Habsburg Monarchy Army" that should be changed to be not a pretend proper name, perhaps as "Habsburg army". I'm about to go away for a while so won't be able to keep working on this move cleanup. Dicklyon (talk) 20:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps see WP:ANI#Dicklyon and pointless edits once again and the lack of consensus for these changes or the need for them. Fram (talk) 07:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This proposal is for just the edits that were not objected to; not the changes to piped links that are less visible that you objected to. Dicklyon (talk) 15:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replace obsolete ITF IDs

All 1300 articles in Category:ITF template using numeric ID use obsolete ITF IDs with Template:ITF profile. For example, Justine Henin has {{ITF profile|20010490}} which links to https://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=20010490, a dead link (HTTP 500 error) that used to redirect to the new profile but does no longer. Fortunately, every article using this old ID format has the new format attached to their Wikidata item, which can be pulled just by using the template without parameters: {{ITF profile}}. I've checked through Wikidata queries that all the new IDs are there and correspond to the old ones currently used in the articles, so all that needs to be done is to replace "\{\{ *[Ii][Tt][Ff]( (fe)?male)?( profile)? *\|[^\}]+\}\}" with "{{ITF profile}}" for all articles in that category. Most players' articles already pull these IDs from Wikidata (Category:ITF template using Wikidata property P8618), so this is nothing new. Thanks, Letcord (talk) 05:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
