Other informationFunction is to move article talk pages currently in Wikipedia requested photographs of people into sub-categories so that the number of articles in a specific category are of a manageable number.

Situation

edit

There are a large number of requests for photographs of people. These requests are currently in very large categories. For example Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of people has over 11,000 requests , Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of sportspeople has over 13,000 requests and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of artists and entertainers has almost 10,000 requests. These lists cover a wide variety of people from saints to porn stars and all types of sports personalities.

As these categories are totally mixed up and are so large no one is going to work through these lists.

Proposal

edit

If these lists were split into smaller categories based on a specific topics related to active WikiProjects it would increase the likelihood of someone addressing these requests. It would also make it easy to work through looking for fulfilled requests or images on other wiki sites. I therefore propose a bot that will go through the main requested photographs of people categories and edit the talk page of articles so that they belong to a more specific sub-category. For example Wikipedia requested photographs of Saints and Wikipedia requested photographs of baseball people.

This should be achieved by removing the need-photo=yes tag from the {{WPBiography}} template and adding the {{reqphoto}} template with appropriate classification such as, for example, {{reqphoto|cricket people}}.

naming convention

edit

The collective name used in category is not always the most obvious one. For example golfers is not used as the golf wikiproject template contains people involved in golf and not just players. Where possible the collective name used for articles of that subject are used.

Specification 1

edit

Use AWB automatic bot user in bot mode to

  • The bot will also change reqphoto where there is a in= to people of
  • The bot will also move existing reqphoto templates after the WPBiography template and out of {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}.
  • The bot will also change reqphoto and other derivatives to Image requested
  • The bot will also change WPBiography and other derivatives to WikiProject Biography
  • The bot now also removes yes from needs-photo and added a new Image requested if non exists
  • The bot also checks work-groups and changes from people request to appropriate sub category.
