WikiProject Films has tens of thousands of articles about film, and it usually involves repetitive and mundane tasks to update them. Wikipedia has automated or semi-automated tools called bots which can perform these tasks. WikiProject Films can file bot requests to complete tasks such as infobox formatting or revising article elements to new standards. This page is intended to list such tasks in full so the project can file bot requests.
