Template:Shortcut

Agreed bot tasks

Uncontroversial or agreed-upon tasks should be listed here:

  • correcting capitalization of headers, e.g. See Also to See also.
  • add "|{{PAGENAME}}" to category tags, for pages not in the main or category namespaces.
  • fix double-redirects

Suggested bot tasks

  • place these templates on every topic page, if not there already:
  • Look for text strings in articles which are the same as existing article names. The first occurrence of this string in each article should generally be wikilinked.
  • common spelling errors
    • Adapt a bot from Wikipedia?
    • Be sensitive to variations in spelling - some people don't like it if their spellings are "corrected" from American to British forms, or vice-versa.
  • Tagging pages with apparent non-compliant capitalization
    • Maintain a list (possibly a category) of checked non-compliers.
  • Move the following categories, changing tags in all articles in the category. (Note to bot owner(s): Perhaps it's easier to let the list build up, or else just do it at regular intervals):
