Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition

Resolved

A WMF researcher mass-messaged a bunch of users with the wrong link, which is currently at RfD. Would someone with a bot account kindly generate a list from the WhatLinksHere (all NS) of User talk:BGerdemann (WMF) and replace [[Special:MyLanguage/Research: with [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:? Thanks. Aaron Liu (talk) 22:41, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

 Half done @Aaron Liu: VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 02:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

(edit conflict) There is only one bot approved to fix mass message errors, but the operator of that bot has been inactive for the last two months. Since there are 2,390 pages needing correction, I am filing a new BRFA. – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Vanisaac, doing this with AWB will trigger a new message notification for all 2,390 users. – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:25, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Just got one for this exact reason; can confirm. Graham87 (talk) 02:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I filed a BRFA for this at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AaBott myself, but I can cancel that and defer the bot stuff to you if you want since you seem much more experienced at this. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Do you want me to stop? I'm 584 in, with 1810 to go. VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 02:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Vanisaac stop please. Commander Keane (talk) 03:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Will do. VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 03:02, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Aaron Liu, Are you okay with me filing a new BRFA? – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

If you can do it in 8 hours, sure, but I'm feeling like there's a queue thing here and would prefer to retain the old request. Aaron Liu (talk) 10:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I think this can be speedily approved. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Fine by me, then. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Since there is no active bot doing this, I would like to take it on as a generic task for my bot. I have done this before and am available most of the time to address any issues that may arise with mass messages. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant that I'm okay with you filing a new BRFA if you can get it speedily approved. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Got the repeat notification too. Not sure you should worry too much – the repeat will just help to remind people to respond to the survey — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 07:11, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac, would it be possible for you to speedily approve it? I am available and can complete the trial immediately. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

There are only seven incoming links. Primefac (talk) 15:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

There are 1802. Please search for insource:/\[\[Special:MyLanguage\/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition/. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, right, because it's not directly linking. Jeez. I don't see anything at BRFA, what am I speedy approving? Primefac (talk) 15:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

BRFA filed at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BaranBOT 8. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Appears  Done by DreamRimmer, thanks. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Primefac for speedy approval :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 19:10, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Aaron Liu  Done; only 32 pages are left where the bot couldn't edit because of 'nobots' templates. – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:25, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm assuming we shouldn't manually AWB them either? Aaron Liu (talk) 02:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I have fixed the remaining 32 pages. I always respect 'nobots' templates, but this was the best approach, as fixing them manually without a bot account would have triggered new message notifications. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Empty a category

I've just deleted Category:Worst Picture Golden Raspberry Award winners under speedy criterion G4, repost of deleted content. Could someone remove the 48 articles that are in the category? Nyttend (talk) 19:25, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  19:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@Nyttend: WP:CFDW can handle these in the future – just link to the old CFD :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Category:South Korea pop music group navigational boxes

Pretty much every template listed in Category:South Korea pop music group navigational boxes, Category:Girl group navigational boxes and Category:Boy band navigational boxes is also included in its group's eponymous category (example: Template:Aespa is included in Category:Aespa).

Guideline at WP:CAT#T says that "templates are not articles, and thus do not belong in content categories." - Is it possible for an AWB wizard remove these templates from their eponymous categories?RachelTensions (talk) 02:33, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@RachelTensions yeah I'll take a look at it for you. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:49, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@RachelTensions  Done eponymous categories removed from 102 templates, 148 were already fine. If I missed any or made a mistake please let me know! Ultraodan (talk) 08:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Perfect, thank you! RachelTensions (talk) 14:05, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Add/replace stub tags

Please add {{Independent-record-label-stub}} to all articles in this report, and remove the top level Category:Independent record labels and {{record-label-stub}}, but not any national subcategories/templates thereof. Mach61 15:12, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Doing – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mach61:Creation Stories (film) article is about a film, not a record label. I made an edit, so please review the list of articles again and remove any that are not related to the subject of this stub template. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer simply changing the depth from 2 to 1 removes six false positives and only one false negative (Elevation Records, which I manually tagged). Modified report. Mach61 17:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I have edited 51 pages and am pausing for now. Anyone can complete the remaining pages, or I will handle them tomorrow. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

 Working Feel free to go through and finish it up, but I got a few more. Geardona (talk to me?) 21:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

 Working on some. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:43, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mach61  Done, this query shows empty, I have added Independent record label stubs as a negative to remove done pages. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:28, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

WikIProject tagging

Cross-posting a request that I think might be small enough for an AWB run (I'm roughly counting only about 300 pages). See WP:BOTREQ § Tagging Category:Cinema of Belgium for more information. Primefac (talk) 14:34, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Remove wikidata redirect where it doesn't apply

Could someone please remove {{Wikidata redirect}} from these 541 pages. All of these are soft redirects not connected to Wikidata, and soft redirects generally shouldn't be connected to Wikidata so the concerns raised at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 86#Clear Category:Unlinked Wikidata redirects shouldn't apply. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

 Doing... VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 21:13, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Three pages didn't have the template - Sottoscala, Frog march, and Can of whoop ass. List is stored on userspace page. VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 21:44, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Tag Wikipedia:Donated artwork and subpages as historical

Hi, and hope you're doing well. Is it possible to tag all pages under Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Donated artwork/ and Wikipedia:Donated artwork itself with {{Historical}}? I don't see any major updates to Wikipedia:Donated artwork since its inception in 2015; Wikipedia talk:Donated artwork last had a discussion in 2021. Please ping if you have questions. Thank you. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:21, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Given the prefix index only shows 7 (8 including the parent page) pages, I’ll do this by hand, unless there are more pages that I’m not seeing.  Working  Done Geardona (talk to me?) 12:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Chungha songs

Would it be possible for someone to edit the prose of the articles in Category:Chungha songs to use "Chung Ha" instead of "Chungha"? The parent article was moved after it was established that the artist's name is "Chung Ha" (with the space), not "Chungha".

Right now I'm focusing on the articles directly related to the subject, but there probably a bunch of other locations that refer to her as "Chungha" instead of "Chung Ha" as well.

Thank you! RachelTensions (talk) 17:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

50K articles with over-capitalized "Province"

This search shows over 50,000 articles with visible links to XXX Province of Iran, which should be XXX province. Anyone want to work on fixing? Dicklyon (talk) 06:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

That’s quite a few articles, and might be more suited to WP:BOTREQ, if they tell you to go back here or that a bot is not an option, ping me and I’ll take another look. Geardona (talk to me?) 12:22, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Are you volunteering to run AWB as bot, or should I be recruiting another bot operator for this? Some semi-automated work on this to develop a good set of patterns would go a long way toward getting bot approval, I think. Dicklyon (talk) 16:18, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Go to BOTREQ. Primefac (talk) 18:28, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

I know from before that they'll want to see more discussion before considering bot approval, so I started a thread at WT:WikiProject Iran#Fixing widespread over-capitalization of "Province" to make sure there's no project objection. Dicklyon (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Opened request at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Province over-capitalization. Dicklyon (talk) 21:19, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon, I would be happy to help with this task. If you don't find any other bot, please ping me on BOTREQ once the WikiProject discussion closes. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

What if it gets no replies? When can we call it closed? Dicklyon (talk) 02:57, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Pages using Template:WikiProject Cricket

• Pages using |Women's cricket=yes should be changed to |Women's=yes as the former is to be deprecated. (Pages are found in Category:Women's cricket task force articles)
• Pages using |Bangladesh cricket=yes should be changed to |Asia=yes as the former task force has been merged into the latter one. (Pages are found in Category:Asia cricket task force articles)
• Pages using |needs-photo=yes, |needs-image=yes, |photo-needed=yes and |image-requested=yes should be changed to |image-needed=yes as the former parameters are to be deprecated.
• All the pages, templates, categories etc. under Category:International Cricket Council should be added to |ICC=yes.

Thanks in advance! Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 05:36, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Searches [1] [2] [3], about 1500 pages including duplicates (plus 2200 pages in the category, but I have no idea how many of those actually need editing). Qwerfjkltalk 09:52, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

The one's in the category could be done, others I think should be done after a formal discussion. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:02, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

There are more results with the value true. [4] [5] – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
