Hello! I see you have added (or imported from wikidata) short descriptions on some Biographies of living persons (BLPs) using the Shortdescription Helper tool; but the additions I noted didn't include dates. The advice I've seen is to include them (if known); but I think technically they are just "encouraged" not "mandatory", as seen on the Short Descriptions page. (You can find discussion of this, with examples, further down the page at WP:SDDATES.)
I'm just a novice, so I'm still learning. I did add dates to a few of your entries, like for Nadia El Fani. Hope you are well. —Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 01:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, i am expressing interest in contributing to WikiProject Afrocreatives but would first like to know more about it. You seem to have a deeper idea about it than what is highlighted in the info page Heatrave (talk) 11:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
When you add a WikiProject banner, please can you not add |class=
(e.g. [1]) because this parameter should be added to the banner shell, not the individual banner. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
|class=
parameter otherwise have any negative impacts or break any other templates or bots? If need be, I can definitely copy the plugin's regex into the native advanced find and replace and modify it. If you know of another way the plugin can be modified, by all means. I'm stopping tagging until I hear back from you. Assem Khidhr (talk) 12:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
You are tagging many talk pages for the AfroCreatives WikiProject when I think you must mean to tag a different article. For example, you tagged the talk page for the disambiguation page This Is It, but I'm guessing your intended target was This Is It (TV series). You have tagged several other disambiguation pages when I think a more specific target was intended. Please slow down and go back and check your edits to make sure you are tagging the correct pages. —ShelfSkewed Talk 04:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
I've noticed you've been mass-tagging talk pages with the AfroCreatives WikiProject using AWB. This in itself isn't a problem but the code you're using seems to automatically remove the living parameter on biographical articles. For example, see this edit which replaced the blp tag in the banner shell with an empty parameter. These edits have caused a backlog of over 650 pages in Category:Biography articles without living parameter (the living parameter is required on all biography articles). For reference, this category is usually empty.
Before you continue tagging, please make sure to fix this bug.

enabled by default in AutoWikiBrowser (...) [and] intended to be uncontroversial and require minimal human oversight. That being said, WPBS's documentation does ask to
Set to |blp=no
for dead persons. This parameter must be added for biographical articles
. I'm not sure which guidelines are more up-to-date. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this and I can sure use AWB to restore the paramter if need be. Best, Assem Khidhr (talk) 16:10, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
