Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB, query.

Function overview: Tag disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): N/A

Edit period(s): Continous

Estimated number of pages affected: ~53,405 first run

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: This bot would tag the talk pages of disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner, {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}, when it is not already present. This helps with categorization and the operation of external tools like XTools; for example, on my list of pages created, it lists 7 disambiguation pages as "Unknown" because the tag is not present; this task would allow them to display properly.

Discussion

• EpicPupper, doesn't this duplicate Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 34? Pinging GoingBatty for comment as well. Primefac (talk) 09:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

  @Primefac - It looks the same as BattyBot's task, with one big exception.

  @EricPupper - Template:WikiProject Disambiguation states "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content." I noticed the first page on your query is Boarding, which has no talk page, so a talk page should not be created for this. If you could update your query so it only lists existing talk pages, I could run my BattyBot task more often. GoingBatty (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

  @EpicPupper: given the above, is this request being withdrawn? cc @GoingBatty: TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:17, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

  Request Expired. No reply in almost three weeks. Primefac (talk) 10:47, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
