BRFA's adminbots page
[edit]Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Adminbots exists as a place to list open BRFAs regarding admin bots. The page is technically connected to the bots header.
I'm not sure how much we really use it as of recent, how able we are to keep it updated (for one, there's an adminbot in trial atm not listed there), and whether it has a purpose? Should we retire this page and remove from the header, or if it has use, how do we make sure it's used correctly? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think mostly it's not used much because we have very few adminbot BRFAs, and it doesn't seem to be mentioned at WP:ADMINBOT or in any instructions at WP:BRFA either, just that header template. OTOH, I'm not sure how much point there is to it either. The main point, I guess, would be for people who're interested in new adminbot BRFAs to watch. But how many such people there are I don't know; Special:PageInfo/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Adminbots doesn't show that many watchers. Anomie⚔ 18:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
missing coordinates bot
[edit]Is there currently any bot that removes "coordinates missing" template if coordinates are present in the infobox? I am also thinking about adding functionality to import coordinates from wikidata if present. The discussion (with more details) can be found at WP:BOTREQ#Regularly removing coords missing if coordinates are present. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
