Major Cleanup of 2010! edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago7 comments4 people in discussion

I've been bored today so I took care of a large portion of the nearly 400 articles in the backlog. #-F. About 120 or so articles. Today's activities makes me want to program a bot to do these tasks! Any help with this project will be appreciated. =D ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 01:46, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I do pitch in occasionally. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

A bot would be great, but I'd settle for a manual tool that will show the broken ref and let me fix it manually. Anyway, I'm going to pitch in and clean the category too. --Muhandes (talk) 21:18, 5 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have some programming experience, but I wouldn't know where to begin programming a WikiBot. Last weekend, I fixed over 200 articles and by the end I was nearly doing it blindfolded, so it's gotta be easy for a bot to take care of... that took FOREVER to do! Thanks for helping out. =D ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 00:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I used to keep this category empty on a daily basis, before I became too busy. User:AnomieBOT used to take care of a lot of these errors. This category is populated mainly by those articles that User:AnomieBOT couldn't take care of. You could ask her if the bot is still active, and if perhaps it could do a rerun of these articles.

Seeing the end. We went all the way to S and then all the way backward from Z to S. Everything now on the category is new stuff (2-3 days old).

Done!! ...for now. Thanks for all the help, everyone! this category started at 400, and is now down to 22 (or ZERO, since those aren't removed)! Great Work! ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 01:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Seems like someone edited some of the templates, causing this to fill up quickly. I started going through them, but help is appreciated. --Muhandes (talk) 15:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
