Time filed: 04:18, Tuesday, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: When adding {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}, also update |class=, |importance= and |auto= in other WikiProject templates

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 34

Edit period(s): Occasional runs

Estimated number of pages affected: Hundreds

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: BattyBot 34 was already approved to add {{WikiProject Disambiguation}} to existing talk pages for all disambiguation pages. Some of these talk pages have other WikiProject templates, which may have incorrect |class= or |importance= values. My proposal is two-fold:

If another WikiProject template has |class= stub, start, redirect, list, C, B, blank, etc., then change it to |class=dab.
If another WikiProject template has |importance= with any value other than NA, then remove the parameter.
If another WikiProject template has |auto= yes, stub, length, then remove the parameter.

See this diff for an example. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 04:18, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think all Wikiproject templates use the dab class. I'm not sure what will happen if you add |class=dab to one that doesn't? From the documentation of Template:WPBannerMeta there has to be |QUALITY_SCALE=extended Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 20:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamesmcmahon0: In this diff, I added |class=dab to three templates. {{WikiProject Mythology}} is coded with |QUALITY_SCALE=extended, while {{WikiProject Africa}} and {{WikiProject Nigeria}} is coded with |QUALITY_SCALE=subpage. Talk:Abassi shows that each template has the Disambig-class rating, and there is a Disambig-class category for each WikiProject.

{{WikiProject Oz}} is coded with |QUALITY_SCALE=standard. Even though Talk:The Wizard of Oz has {{WikiProject Oz}}, the template shows an NA-class rating and a NA-class category. Therefore, I will not have the bot change |class=NA, and changing from |class=stub to |class=dab should work fine. However, I would want some of these scenarios included in the trial. Thanks!

So, the upshot of your answer is that all Wikiproject templates use the dab class? Josh Parris 06:29, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, the upshot is that it doesn't really matter; If you add |class=dab to a template it that uses it, it displays correctly. Otherwise it will display as NA-class which is also desirable. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 09:02, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let's get this show on the road then. Approved for trial (5 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Josh Parris 09:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the function details to include the removal of |auto=, which is only valid for |class=stub. GoingBatty (talk) 22:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
