Follow-up after restructure edit

@Anomie and Timrollpickering: thanks for your help with following up the above CFD.

The articles held directly in this category all seem to have {{Example farm}} with no date. Is there a bot that will insert such dates? – Fayenatic London 21:14, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'll try AWB this month in. Timrollpickering 21:19, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
AnomieBOT should add dates, since {{Example farm}} is on WP:AWB/DT. I see there are no articles in this category anymore, so something or someone took care of it. Anomie 22:38, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Actually, AnomieBOT would only do it if it saw the article in a category that is a subcategory of Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month, which this category isn't anymore. Anomie 22:39, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
To make it work right, I think you'll need to use something like {{DMCA|Wikipedia articles with style issues|from|{{{date|}}}||Wikipedia articles with style issues by month}} instead of {{Ambox}}'s |cat= in the templates. That'll make them put articles into Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month instead of putting them here. Anomie 22:49, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I did that, but then I checked the category and found it almost empty. @Timrollpickering: you tidied up this category by tagging them all as September 2018, but I believe they were mostly older, e.g. [1] – those number pages were tagged in March 2010 ([2]). I've reverted you on 127 (number); let's see if AnomieBOT will fix it. – Fayenatic London 19:21, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I see you did that for {{Example farm}}, but not the 30-ish other templates adding the category. I think I fixed them all now. Anomie 19:03, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
