Add elections footer template AL articles

The template Template:Elections in Alabama footer has been condensed to easily appear on pages it is applied to. It should be applied to all pages with the Template:Elections in Alabama sidebar (usually linked as Template:Elections in Alabama). Template will appear in a small form at the bottom that will not hinder visibility and improve navigation as it contains more information than the sidebar. Would also allow the sidebar to be condensed to not include unneeded links Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 21:30, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

This question has been archived before so please let me know if it is not possible or something Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 00:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer, it does not seem like they were all done. Examples are 1970 Alabama Supreme Court election, Municipal elections in Auburn, Alabama, and 2010 Alabama elections. Just some examples I found looking around, is there some issue with locating the pages that have the sidebar template? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 23:15, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

I have re-run it. There were over 350 sidebar transclusions, and I edited around 270 pages. I believe the remaining ones already had the footer, but feel free to double-check and let me know if any still need to be tagged. – DreamRimmer ■ 13:38, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 16:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Tag LUGSTUBS2 talk pages

The WP:LUGSTUBS2 mess is winding up. Every article in the original list (1,106 articles) needs to have an {{old prod}} added to it. The template should say: {{old prod |nom=BilledMammal |nomdate=8 July 2023 |nomreason=[[WP:LUGSTUBS2]]}}

Regardless of whether the article is still in the mainspace or has been moved to draftspace, the talk page should be tagged. The possibly tricky part is:

• Aamer Ishaq now redirects to List of Pakistan National Shipping Corporation cricketers. The old prod tag needs to go in Talk:Aamer Ishaq, and not on Talk:List of Pakistan National Shipping Corporation cricketers.

I'd estimate that as much as two-thirds of the original list could be redirects now.

There's no special rush to get this done; any time in the next month or so is probably fine. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:11, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

I will take care of it in the next few hours once I am on my computer. – DreamRimmer ■ 04:41, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

 Done Edits. Skipped non-existent and already tagged pages. – DreamRimmer ■ 14:11, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Change every List of extrasolar planets to Lists of planets

List of extrasolar planets has tons of links in many see also lists, but the issue is that this list does not exist; we do not have a single list with all the exoplanets, so this name is misleading.

Therefore, i suggest changing every single link from List of extrasolar planets to Lists of planets. 21 Andromedae (talk) 15:08, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

It might not be appropriate to make this change if the link is in prose for example, so I'm not sure about doing this change. GalStar (talk) 19:51, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

This was originally brought up at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 June 23#List of extrasolar planets where I mentioned that an AWB fix might be possible, however I also stated that there would need to be a consensus that the change is desirable first. @21.Andromedae: if you (or someone else) has sought this consensus please could you link to it. Thryduulf (talk) 23:54, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I requested it at WT:AST. 21 Andromedae (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Tag LLM generated stuff

Search for wikitext "utm_source=chatgpt.com", then prepend the article with {{llm|date=July 2025}}. Bonus points for detecting {{multiple issues}} and its redirects and skipping those articles or inserting the LLM banner in the correct place per MOS:ORDER. Thanks! Polygnotus (talk) 10:18, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I have a feeling that a few of these articles will have only one or two LLM-generated sentences, which is not very much at all. How would we not tag articles in this situation? It'd be like using Template:More citations needed when there is one unreferenced sentence. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:23, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Actually the solution is just "read the article". Silly me. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:24, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Yeah we can detect the presence of AI generated stuff, but we can't use software to detect how much of an article is AI generated, or which parts of it (and those AI text detector tools you find online like gptzero don't really work). Polygnotus (talk) 11:43, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
