Seems like a good task for a bot (IMHO anyhow) - obviously, some testing would be needed to exclude the possibility of exceptions to the rules. (Also, I don't know whether the parameter is auto-assessed or not - if it is, might it also be a good idea - while you were there - to check for the presence of a suitable infobox in the article?) - Jarry1250 (t, c) 17:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

in the article would probably work well enough for that part of it. Will your bot correctly handle ((WPBS)) and ((WPB)), including the occasional case where someone leaves out the traditional "1="? Have you checked with the projects involved if they want other projects' assessments copied? Anomie⚔ 00:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]prop=templates
