Operator: Chetblong^Talk/_ARK

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: This bot will auto tag talk pages as stubs, and add them to WikiProject Arkansas, that are in Category:Arkansas stubs and it's subcategories.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Weekly most likely, but may be longer if I go on a Wikibreak.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: I have AWB set to prepend {{WikiProject Arkansas|class=stub|auto=yes}} to the talk pages in the categories mentioned above. And it will auto skip any talk page that already has the words "WikiProject Arkansas" on it.

• Looks good to me seeing as the category in question only has subcategories with articles (i.e. the category tree only goes one level down). RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 20:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 On hold until the TinucherianBot discussion is finished. BJ^Talk 20:49, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know the categories that I make the lists out of will be manually looked over to make sure there are no mistakes like in TinucherianBot's case. --Chetblong^Talk/_ARK 21:03, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, look out for the redirect {{WPArkansas}} if anyone still usues it. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Already added that in the auto skip. --Chetblong^Talk/_ARK 20:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC) I instead deleted the redirect, as it is currently not in use. --Chetblong^Talk/_ARK 21:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Reversing myself, no consensus has been established for the proposed amendment to the bot policy. Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. BJ^Talk 02:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 Approved. contingent on promise of no recursive catting. MBisanz ^talk 03:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
