[edit] Discussion

If this is going to be fully automated, just be sure that:

• if the article has even one category missing the sort key then don't add defaultsort
• if the article already has one or more defaultsorts (in template or magic word form) don't add it

Other than that, Approved for trial (50 edits). —METS501 (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

In the second point, do you mean {{DEFAULTSORT}} and {{DEFAULTSORT:}}? Of course, when bot finds an article with DEFAULTSORT string, skips it, this includes magic word and template. And only adds {{DEFAULTSORT:}} when it has found all categories with the same sorting, moreover if there is a category [[Category:William Shakespeare| ]] with spacing sort or [[Category:William Shakespeare]] with null sort, skips.--Emijrp 18:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Trial done. --Emijrp 10:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

A fifty-edit trial was approved.  :\ Is your one-time run over? Should it not be continuous? And in the future, when making a task request, do not exceed the limitations of the trial, especially not to this extent. — madman bum and angel 13:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
