Discussion

It's looks like, according to the bot, you're doing this already? What's different that you want approval for? --69.225.3.119 (talk) 05:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Nothing different really. Recently I used the bot to ass some |sport-work-group= and yes I already been doing it for some time (mainly after requests in my talk page). I just want an approval from BAG as well. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:35, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Could you clarify please? Tell me if I've got this right; At the moment the bot adds |living=yes/no to {{WPBiography}} templates on the talk pages of articles, and you want approval to add the initial {{WPBiography}} template? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

To add |sport-work-group=, etc. if appropriate. As I said I am already doiung it but not massevely and until now unofficial. To do what Kingbotk was doing.-- Magioladitis (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. You seem to have been doing a fairly good job thus far. But would it be possible to check if a page is in a more specific sub-project of the one you are going t add. For example, at Talk:Tim Buzaglo the bot added the sports and games work group, but the page is already in WikiProject Football, which is a sub-project of Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Sports and games. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Alll bio articles from WikiProject Football should be tagged with WPBiography |sport-work-group=. I was thinking to add only WPBiography but yes I can add more banners if asked. I can, for example tag footballers with both WPBiography |sport-work-group= and Wikiproject Football banners. That's a good idea and will save us edits. Plus, I'll be doing some cleanup bases on WP:TPL i.e. moving talkheader on the top if exists, removing nested parameter, etc. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 Approved. For WikiProject tagging via either the use of a template (e.g. adding {{WikiProject Football}} to a talkpage) or parameters (e.g. adding |sport-work-group=yes to the bio template). - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
