TheresNoTime — AWB request for de-orphaning

I recently added a link to the find_link tool to Template:Orphan, and have been making some (manual) de-orphaning edits (e.g. Special:Diff/8949697) using it. I'd like to use AWB to remove the {{orphan}} tag from pages which aren't actually orphans (i.e. as I had to do manually here), namely to tidy up after myself. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 15:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TheresNoTime, I am happy to give you AWB access to do that. I will note that a bot was approved to do the same task around half a year ago, Wikipedia talk:Bots#BattyBot, but it hasn't edited in 6 months or so. Please let me know when you are complete. If you are planning to make more than 100 changes, please let me (or another admin) know and the flood flag can be added. --Ferien (talk) 16:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferien: Thanks

There's about 122 pages which will initially need edits, so the flood flag might be useful — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 17:01, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TheresNoTime, as you appear to have finished with that task, I've removed you from the AWB list. Feel free to let us know if you'll need it again. Thanks! --Ferien (talk) 19:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove instances of Persondata

Template:Persondata has stopped being used since 2016 on English Wikipedia. All information is now in Wikidata. The template has been deleted or deprecated in almost all wikis. There are ~1,000 instances of the template on Simple Wikipedia. I checked (almost) all information and it turns it has been copied to Wikidata. I am requesting to delete the template for code simplifications. AWB will remove any support to Persondata to its next release too. Thanks. I can remove them even using my bot account to cause less distractions. Magioladitis (talk) 11:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magioladitis, seeing as you were doing it on this account before, I can approve it for your main account to get this done quicker (as doing it the bot way would involve going through WT:BOTS, with trials etc). I'll approve this, let me know when you get started again so I can add flood to your account. --Ferien (talk) 11:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I can start right away. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magioladitis, I've added flood, go for it :) --Ferien (talk) 12:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am done! Thank you very much! -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help! --Ferien (talk) 13:56, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename category per discussion

Hi! We recently had a discussion at Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 157#Category move. It's a lot of pages, and the only way I can see to make this change en masse is to use AWB - unless anyone knows of a bot or tool that can move category names on mass.

I'd like to request access to AWB to complete the task - I have experience with the tool, I've made a few thousand edits with it on the English language Wikipedia. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:26, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski

Done, I've also given you the flood flag which expires in 3 hours. Please let me know if you need the flag to be extended. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 23:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I hadn't planned to do the work immediately, I'm hoping to get some time to make some of the changes today. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AWB request

Hello. I need access to AWB in order to mass add links to the names of dignity in the infoboxes of church hierarchs (e.g. "His Excellency" -> [[Bishop|His Excellency]]). There are dozens of such articles, so AWB will help me do it faster. Thank you. BZPN (talk) 18:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe @Auntof6 or @Fehufanga could help, you guys are active here :). BZPN (talk) 20:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. as I said on AN, access would also be useful for quickly removing shortdesc templates from articles. BZPN (talk) 21:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BZPN Can you give a complete list of honorifics that you will be adding links to? — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 22:30, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, there are only two of them:

His Excellency (Bishop)
His Eminence (Cardinal)

BZPN (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to add that there will be over 150 such pages. BZPN (talk) 22:38, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(forgot about the ping) BZPN (talk) 22:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, @Fehufanga, what do you think? BZPN (talk) 14:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AWB request

I want to work on creating stubs for Minnesota counties. I will have them look like previously made stubs like Waite Park, Minnesota. Thanks :) Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 14:26, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ieditrandomarticles: Do you mean you want to create the pages using AWB? We don't approve it for creating pages. If that's not what you have in mind, please explain. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:27, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No that is what I had in mind. Thanks. Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 16:36, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ieditrandomarticles Also, every Minnesota county already has an article, but do you mean creating pages for cities, unincorporated communities, or townships? 69.222.191.67 (talk) 17:54, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I meant cities. Whoops :) Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 21:19, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
