[edit] Purpose
BHGbot exists for a single purpose: to tag the talk pages of articles of articles and categories with the tags which identify the articles as being within the scope of a particular WikiProject. BHGbot's tasks do not require administrator status, and approval will be sought before any extension of BHGbot's role which requires admin priveliges.
The bot has been create to assist WikiProject Ireland. Its services may subsequently be offered to other wikiprojects.
However, BHGbot will only tag articles only with the explicit consent of the wikiproject whose tags are being added, within the scope agreed on the talk page of that WikiProject.
[edit] Limitations
BHGbot will not add an assessment value to the tags added (either to the "class" or "importance" parameters) except for "class-category" for categories, and "class=stub" for articles in Category:Ireland stubs or its child categories. In all other cases, the result of BHGbot';s work should to to tag articles as unassessed, to bring them to the attention of human assessors.
If you find that for some reason BHGbot is inappropriately adding parameters, please immediately stop the bot by posting a message to User talk:BHGbot. A brief "please stop" message will stop the bot; your longer explanation of the problem can follow once the bot is stopped.
[edit] Jobs
BHGbot's jobs will be listed here, before work starts.
[edit] Underway
- None at present
[edit] Proposed
- Job0005: add {{WPNI category}} to subcategories of Category:Northern Ireland which are not already tagged
- Job0006: Replacing all instances of
{{WPNI|class=cat}}with the new {{WPNI category}} tag, which does not include assessment fields for priority/importance. This will ensure that the categories are still listed in Category:WikiProject Northern Ireland categories, but avoid cluttering Category:Unknown-importance Northern Ireland-related articles and Category:WikiProject Northern Ireland articles with categories, which do not need an importance rating
[edit] Completed
Done Job0001: add {{WikiProject Ireland category}} to subcategories of Category:Geography of Ireland- Done Job0002: On category talk pages, manually replace {{WikiProject Ireland}} with {{WikiProject Ireland category}}
- Done Job0003: add {{WikiProject Ireland category}} to remaining subcategories of Category:Ireland
- Done Job0004: Applying the {{UK Parliamentary Constituencies}} tag to talk pages of all articles and categories Category:United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies and its subcategories, skipping any talk pages already tagged
- Done Job0007: Tagging with
{{WikiProject Ireland |class=stub}}all articles in Category:Ireland stubs and its subcategories, except those which are already tagged with {{WikiProject Ireland}} or its aliases {{Irelandproj}} and {{WPIRELAND}}. This job assumes that all articles with a stub tag are indeed of stub class. This may not be the case, but if so, the class can be upgraded on assessment; the articles are being tagged with theauto=yesparameter, which places them in Category:Automatically assessed Ireland articles.
