This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots. However be aware of various tools available to all users which can be used to accomplish the work without the need for a bot:
  1. Gadget Cat-a-lot can be used for most category adding, removing and moving
  2. VisualFileChange tool can be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category, creating a mass-deletion-request, let you insert tags to the file-description-pages (even copy from exif/meta-data). You can also perform find and replace operations with or without JavaScript regular expressions (regexp). A common use case is: "I've changed my username". It's a web-tool and can be launched directly.
  3. AutoWikiBrowser can be used for large number of supervised and automatic edits
  4. Commons:Batch uploading page can be used to request mass image uploads

Source Archival needed[edit]

Referring to COM:VP#The Stand News, approximately 3700 files in Images from Stand News risk losing source due to recent police actions in Hong Kong. As the affected files are quite large, I propose that a bot task should be created to properly archive the sources given in these affected files.廣九直通車 (talk) 11:07, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And as a side note, I think the proposed bot task is technically the same as source archiving bots operating on Wikipedia. The key point is that we're racing with time: the Facebook page of Stand News may be shut down at no time.廣九直通車 (talk) 11:07, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • They say Facebook will close down on 29 December 11 pm (Hong Kong time)...
@廣九直通車: It looks like the opportunity to do this was missed. Should we close this task? – BMacZero (🗩) 01:11, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@BMacZero: , sure, please feel free to do so. For some reason there are little users attended to the notice...廣九直通車 (talk) 12:37, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Checkmark This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. – BMacZero (🗩) 15:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove {{Wikidata Infobox}} from all transclusions. e.g. Special:Diff/625134286 --Minorax«¦talk¦» 15:10, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Minorax: Are these 354 pages the total number of pages covered by your request?Jonteemil (talk) 17:42, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonteemil: Yes. Some are popping up at Category:Pages_with_script_errors as {{Wikidata Infobox}} is a very intricate template and transcluding 2 on each page will cause an error. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 01:39, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, ✓ Done.Jonteemil (talk) 04:13, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
