- The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. To request review of this BRFA, please start a new section at WT:BRFA. The result of the discussion was Approved.
Operator: Rjwilmsi
Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: AWB
Function overview: Tag redirect pages with WP:TMR tags
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WP:TMR
Edit period(s): probably single run on release of new database dump
Estimated number of pages affected: Thousands. Exact number not yet clear.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details: Use a new general fix function in AWB being developed by me to tag redirect pages with one or more of the tags specified on WP:TMR. If possible I would like to keep the scope of authorisation open-ended to allow future expansion of the task without the need to bother the BAG for a small change. As it stands the current tagging criteria will be:
- where the redirect page title and the redirect target differ only by punctuation, tag with {{R from modification}} (e.g. diff) if not already tagged with that template.
- where the redirect page title equals the redirect target with diacritics replaced with the equivalent Latin character, tag with {{R from title without diacritics}} (no example as yet) if not already tagged with that template.
- Other similar tagging per WP:TMR. Clearly only some of the tags can be decided by a bot.
Scope: mainspace en-wiki only. Redirect pages only.
Note on number of pages: I'm not currently clear on what database dump includes the title and text of redirects, so don't yet know volumes.
Discussion
[edit]If I could request that redirects to disambiguation pages that aren't already tagged get tagged with {{R from unknown disambiguation}} that will give WP:Disambiguation something to work with - a generated list that can then be sorted into the various redirect classes for disambiguation pages.
