• Set up the priority ratings pages for the math project. Data is at User:VeblenBot/Math/priority:Low-A-Class and similar pages. — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Migrate math ratings to use categories for field selection instead of backlinks. Allow multiple fields to be used. — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Implemented

• Make pages for each field automatically. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Generate Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Theorems and conjectures from articles with a maths rating in Category:Mathematical theorems and Category:Conjectures. Geometry guy 11:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Generate tables for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/History page.

• Make pages like the field pages for each of the quality classes. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Move the master table to a more appropriate place. Now at User:VeblenBot/MainTable. — Carl (CBM · talk)17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Make each cell of the master table link somewhere. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Decide whether and how to automate the generation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Mathematicians. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Change name of "Geometry and topology" to "Geometry". Geometry guy 11:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

• Generate an additional table for field vs importance (and possibly also a transpose quality vs importance table which can be combined with it). This would be useful for keeping track of the balance of importance ratings within individual fields. Geometry guy 11:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Generate importance vs quality and field vs quality tables separately so that they can be presented individually in some places; the include part could omit the opening line and closing brace of the table so that the tables can easily be combined with a common width for the main table.

• In regards to how your bot creates the ability to break down FA by importance in the math project, could you possibly do the same thing for the economics project? I would greatly appreciate it! Just let me know what I'd have to do on my end to get this setup. Cheers! Gary King (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Was pretty fast to set up, forgot to note it here. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Would you consider adding the time (approximate to when the bot places the entry, if that's the basis for it now) in addition to the date on User:VeblenBot/PERtable? It would make sorting the table by that column more effective. Bsherr (talk) 03:02, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Not implemented

• Automatically place an {{adminbacklog}} tag to User:VeblenBot/PERtable if there's multiple requests which are more than 48 hours old, and remove it when there aren't any which are that old. Od Mishehu 07:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I think it is more accurate to let humans decide whether there is a backlog. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Make the Economics table include a column for C-class articles per the new assessment structure. -FrankTobia (talk) 06:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• On User:VeblenBot/PERtable, perhaps you should change the quotation mark type to these sorts of quotations: ""? WP:PUNC says that the "straight quotes", as it were, are more desirable than typographic quotation marks. It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 09:47, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

• • I think these are in the article titles themselves. The bot does not add curly quotation marks. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
