Operator: Magioladitis
Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, supervised
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: It's AWB auto-tagger. Code is available
Function overview: Auto-untagging of orphans / Auto(un)tagging for wikify, deadend, uncategorised and remove expand tags if articles are stubs.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Per my message in Wikipedia_talk:Orphan#AWB_and_Orphans, AWB in the past tagged a lot of articles as orphans incorrectly. The bug was found and fixed (version 5.0.0.1). Orphanage was a backlog and need help. See also my message in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orphanage.
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: It will run though 152,851 articles and affect minimum 4,000 according to my estimation based on a test run.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details:
I will run AWB with genfixes off. Only auto-tagger will be activated. This means that the only actions will be: Tagging and untagging with: ((wikify)), ((deadend)), ((uncategorised)) and removing ((orphan)) (if article proven not orphan), ((expand)) (if article is a stub -per expand's usage) and ((stub)) if article is not a stub. It will only run in the subcategories of Category:Orphaned articles and it will be one time run. Since the AWB' bug is fixed no more semi-automated edits will produce a bug.
I already did a test run as Magioladitis and no problems occurred. Following previous concerns about AWB and stubs I 'll check all edits that affected stub tags. AWB's Genfixes will be turned off.
In my intention is to run the procedure only once. I ll re-run it in case Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage asks me to. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:56, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain how a bot can determine that an article needs to be wikified? --Jc3s5h (talk) 00:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can run a modified version of AWB that won't add/remove wikify. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
On hold. Some hours ago I was reported that orphan tagging is misbehaving again. Probably due to API changes. I put this BRFA on hold until problem is solved. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC) Resume. Bug fixed. More details in WP:AWB/B. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. harej 00:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete. Yobot ran in Category:Orphaned articles from October 2006. It scanned 922 pages and made 50 edits.
Just to be in the safe side, I ran with AWB v. 5.0.0.1, rev6152, skipping in case a wikify tag was there or AWB was trying to add it. It skipped 14 pages for this reason.
Procedure started at 01:34, 29 January 2010 and finished at 02:01, 29 January 2010.
