UnCatBot

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic with manual oversight every so often

Programming Language(s): AWB (C#/VisualBasic)

Function Summary: To be an automated AWB tagging bot that will add the uncategorized, orphan, and wikify templates to all pages that do not already have them, in Special:Uncategorizedpages.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever the cache of Special:Uncategorizedpages is updated, then continuously until done.

Edit rate requested: 3 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):No

Function Details: Pretty much summed up in Summary. I don't really intend to modify AWB in any way as I'm still very new to coding and really only have marginal experience with html and php. This is the text from the AWB user manual:

Auto tag — Appends {{wikify}}, {{uncategorised}}, {{stub}} and {{orphan}} tags when appropriate. Removes stub tags from long articles. Adds the date parameter to the by-date sorted templates.

So that is basically what I am requesting. I have already manually gone through the Uncategorized pages once (see my Contribs), and there wasn't an edit in there that I had to click ignore on. It gets extremely tedious staring at the AWB screen for 3 or 4 hours just clicking save.

I've changed the operator to the correct operator name (it was the bot's). Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 22:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed a request on Wikipedia:Bot_requests to add the uncat tag to articles, which is pretty much what this bot is intended to do so I would like to extend the edit periods to allow for making requests by editors or random browsing of all pages based on a database dump. --Nn123645 (talk) 23:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
