Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, Supervised
Programming Language(s): AWB AutoWikiBrowser
Function Summary: Automatically tag Swimming related articles with the WikiProject Swimming banner. Automatically assess the article as 'stub class' if the article has been identified as being a 'stub'
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Daily, until all related articles are tagged appropriately.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: Initially the function will be using AWB to automatically tag articles with the swimming project banner. This is required due to the vast numbers of swimming related articles. Currently i have a list of over 6600 . I attempted to do this manually however due to the fact that there are so many articles, i decided that my time could be better used in other aspects of the project and a bot would be appropriate. This bot will also automatically asses the class of articles if the article is marked as a stub.
As the project grows and new priority areas arise this bot could be used for other activities such as general clean up of spelling etc) however the main priority is t establish what articles are in the scope of the project. An approval request will be submitted if the use of the bot changed.
