User talk:DodoBot/Requests
Instructions
DodoBot tags talk pages on behalf of WikiProjects. It can also perform a variety of automatic assessments. For a more detailed description of the functions of the bot, see the explanation page. To request a tagging run, please do the following:
- Create a subpage in your WikiProject to be used by the bot (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Toronto/Categories). (You may skip this step if you are only requesting automatic assessment of already tagged articles)
- On this subpage, place a list of categories which contain articles you are sure are within the scope of your project. For example:
- (optional) In order to make the bot go into subcategories, specify a depth it should go to next to the category name (how many subcategories down it should go). Use Inf to make the bot go into all subcategories. If you do not specify any depth, the bot will not go into subcategories. For example:
- Category:Apple Inc. (Depth:2)
- Category:Google (Depth:Inf)
- (optional) You may assign an importance to each category, and the bot will automatically fill out the
|importance=
in the assessment banner. If you choose not to specify importance, it will be left blank. For example:- Category:Apple Inc. (Depth:2) (Importance:Top)
- Category:Google (Importance:High)
- Don't worry about making mistakes in the formatting of the list: it will be manually reviewed before I start the bot. However, please be careful about what categories you put in the list, since these will not be checked for relevance to your WikiProject.
- Ensure there is consensus for the task by posting at the project's talk page.
- (You may use {{subst:User talk:DodoBot/Process}} as a generic boilerplate message, or write your own message)
- Submit a new request
- Watch the request page, as there may be follow-up questions to your request.
Requests
Here to inquire about why the bot tagged a page?
The bot finds articles to tag using a list of categories provided by the WikiProject. If you would like to see the categories list for a project, take a look at the project's section below: a link to the category list should be present. If the bot tagged an article that clearly is not within a project's scope, feel free to remove the tag. If you notice it tagged an entire category erroneously, please leave a note on my talk page, or on this page in the project's section. |

Template name: {{WikiProject Protected areas}} Category list: None Inherit ratings? Yes
Auto-stub based on tag? Yes Auto-stub length: 1500 characters Tag namespaces: Additional notes: only assess already-tagged articles in this run (there are ca. 6,000 tagged unassessed articles). Will make a separate request for tagging new articles based on categories at a later date. WikiProject discussion is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Protected areas#WikiProject Assessment. Many thanks. -Elekhh (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Auto-stub based on tag?

Template name: {{WikiProject Morocco}} Category list: Wikipedia:WikiProject Morocco/Categories Inherit ratings? Yes

Well that was very helpful. I trimmed the cats: [2]; I guess I don't have to specify depth? Since you spread all categories related to Morocco Tachfin (talk) 02:15, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Running this now. Apologies for the delay, I've been very busy in real life. - EdoDodo talk 14:15, 3 October 2011 (UTC) Please explain What is the purpose of (e.g.) this edit? It adds no new categories to the template, as it was already tagged with {{WikiProject Africa}} and the class

Template name: {{WikiProject Maps}} Category list: Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Categories Inherit ratings? Yes
Auto-stub based on tag? Yes Auto-stub length: 0 characters Tag namespaces: Additional notes: This is the first run of tagging WikiProject Map articles (as I've only just set up the assessment things), didn't know what a sensible stub length was, is 1000 sensible? basically it would be nice to inherit class, and if there isn't any to inherit, then tag it based on the stub template, then if it's a few lines long assume it's a stub EdwardLane (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2011 (UTC) I just tidied up the Categories to exclude all the things I think probably don't fall withing the scope, and gave importance to various different categories, I guess some articles are in multiple categories - so if they are in a high import category that should take precedence over a low/mid importance I guess.

Template name: {{WikiProject Protected areas}} Category list: Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas/Categories Inherit ratings? Yes
Auto-stub based on tag? Yes Auto-stub length: 1500 characters Tag namespaces: Additional notes: This request follows the previous request to automatically assess already tagged articles, which worked very well. In the next step only wish to add articles in core categories listed on the WikiProject subpage, without further subcategories. Elekhh (talk) 01:10, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
