Template talk:Article history/work
First worklist
[edit]The following is a list of pages with the following criteria:
- Begins with 'Wikipedia:Featured article candidate'
- Is either
- Not linked from an article talk page with a name included in the page title
- (Thus Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sunset Blvd. (1950 film) is listed despite a link from Sunset Boulevard (1950 film))
- Is not transcluded in a Featured log or Archived nomination page
- Not linked from an article talk page with a name included in the page title
- Is not simply a redirect which is neither linked from TP nor transcluded in log
- (Thus Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1755 Lisbon earthquake/Archive 1 is excluded because it is a redirect not linked to from anywhere, nor transcluded in a log)
- Has a title which contains the name of one featured article
- (Thus 2003 Invasion of Iraq is listed, because "Invasion" is FA)
- (Thus Sunset blvd is listed because it matches Sun)
Pages which look like archives are probably older FAC attempts for featured articles. These need to be added to the talk page with {{facfailed|pagelink}}, where pagelink excludes the WP:FAC prefix. If the facfailed links are added (where appropriate), the bot will take care of (most of) the rest.

Second worklist
[edit]Would this be a suitable place to start a second worklist? Carcharoth 01:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, this works. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Ready for GimmeBotification
[edit]Talk:Glass (anon deleted all the templates - found because FFA count was off) (issue)
Talk:Indus Valley Civilization (issue)
- Is Wikipedia:Featured articles nominated in 2004 useful for any of these? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Dates taken from User:Feature Historian
- Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Soap bubble
- Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Single malt Scotch
- Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Republic of China presidential election, 2004/archive1
- Pending mainpage
Done; this should catch up the Today's featured article requests, since most new ones will probably be recent FACs that already have the ArticleHistory template. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible script bugs
[edit]- Gimmetrow, why won't Dr pda's articlehistory script work on this page? It doesn't even show in my toolbox. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Script worked for me on this article. Maralia (talk) 22:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Unarchived FACs in articlehistory
[edit]Gimmetrow, one of the main reasons I wanted to finish up the {{facfailed}} templates was so that we could eliminate the complicated instructions at {{FAC-instructions}} (re: moving old fac pages) and avoid future malformed noms. Getting through the archives to prep the pages for the facfailed templates is easy; what is slowing me down is dealing with the articles that already have a correctly built {{articlehistory}} template, but include an unarchived previous FAC. These create a problem on future fac submissions, as the {{fac}} template will link to the old fac, and editors rarely move and archive them correctly. Is it possible to have a bot/script go through and locate all of these and archive them? Then getting through the remaining facfaileds will go much faster. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- A bot did much that for the peer reviews. Did you think of asking melon? Gimmetrow 18:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- I never understood what his bot was doing because it involved all those complicated PR templates; if that's it, and a bot that does this is already created, yes, I could ask him. Would that do the job? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Is this a correct summary of the task?
- Identify talk pages that have an {{articlehistory}} and are in Category:Wikipedia featured article candidates (contested), but the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/articlename are not archived
- Note, we don't archive facs that are promoted, only contested.
- Move the FAC to the next openN archiveN.
- Clear the redirect, adding the article title and a link to previous FAC.
- Here's a sample of this step: [1] (It should use the exact phrase and capitalization "previous FAC" for consistency in future scripts. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Update What links here on the original FAC to archive
- Update the articlehistory on the article talk page.
SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Melon did that for PR. Basically went through every PR without an /archiveN, checked if it was a GimmeBot leftover, moved it otherwise, and updated links including ArticleHistory. So most of the coding is done. The key new things are: excluding any pages not the the contested category. (For this, simply going from WP:FA is incorrect since some articles have moved since they were promoted.) And melon didn't reset the PR pages after moves, since they weren't going to use them. See if he wants to do it; although it's still assisted editing, it's a much smaller job than PR. Gimmetrow 18:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK, but some parts of this are already coded into GimmeBot (like 2 move FAC, 3 cleaar redirect, 4, update links and 5 update articlehistory), so wouldn't he be borrowing code from GimmeBot? (sorry, techno-dummie here). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I'd be happy to help out; it does indeed seem like the key activity (move a page from Wikipedia:
Peer reviewFeatured article candidates/Foo to the lowest-numbered archiveN which doesn't already exist; update all incoming links, and do whatever with the redirect page) I've already got programmed and debugged. The only thing I'd have to do is write a new wrapper for selecting the pages to move. It sounds to me like what you want is:- Load a page from Category:Wikipedia featured article candidates (contested)
- If the page doesn't have
{{articlehistory}}
, go back to step 1 - If the articlehistory template has
|actionNlink=
of the form "Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Foo", do the archive job on "Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Foo", otherwise go back to step 1
- Is that correct? If so, I could code that without any problems. As people like GuillaumeTell will tell you, I'm rather busy at the moment, and so wikipedia in general, and bot stuff in particular, is being kicked around like a football; but I'll do my best to get it done ASAP. Happy‑melon 10:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Mostly, except it's more complicated. Articles with ArticleHistory will currently only be in the contested category if they have currentstatus=FFAC. So articles which are GAs or delistedGAs will not be in the category. Gimmetrow 15:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I'd be happy to help out; it does indeed seem like the key activity (move a page from Wikipedia:
- Thanks, Happy! I added a sample (above) of the clear redirect step. If you underselect and don't get them all, that's no problem, since we are currently going systematically through the old archives to check everything and complete GimmeBotification of the old facfailed templates. If you don't get the ones that are current GAs, that's no problem; we'll catch them on the manual pass. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
