Clarifying 0.5 lists above[edit]
The first and larger list encompasses biographies that had been approved for 0.5 at the time I made the list. The "missing" list encompasses biographies that we might have extra reason to nominate. Maurreen 23:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Automated list[edit]
I've set up the categories, but it looks like I missed mathbot by just a few minutes so we will have to wait until this time tomorrow night to see the automated worklist...plange 03:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Due to this, we now have a category of unassessed core biographies. If these are assessed before the mathbot runs tomorrow nite, we'll be off to a good start.... plange 04:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, but I guess first we need to go through and make sure that some marked as Top that are NOT on the list are reassessed, etc. Just make the {{WPBiography}} tag have importance=top to put it on our list (and a lower one, or none at all, to take it off). plange 04:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hanging head in shame... The bot hit the new category and generated a new worklist, but I didn't even follow my own instructions I wrote on how to add comments to the worklist! So, tomorrow night my mates, we'll have a more complete list! Sorry! plange 05:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
