Time filed: 08:52, Saturday June 18, 2011 (UTC)
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Programming language(s): .NET
Source code available: no, but you can ask if you really want it
Function overview: add {{WikiProject Biography}} to discussion pages
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): having {{WikiProject Biography}} on talk page of BLPs seems relatively uncontroversial, I can dig up some discussions if necessary
Edit period(s): batches if and when I notice it's necessary
Estimated number of pages affected: ~10,000 talk pages initially, subsequent runs dependent on wiki activity
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): yes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): yes
Function details:
I seem to remember there being a bot or autowikibrowser user or something that added {{WikiProject Biography}} to the talk pages of BLPs. However I checked and there's like a zillion of them without one so I guess it hasn't been done recently.
Essentially, any article in Category:Living people that doesn't already have a talk page in Category:Biography articles of living people gets {{WikiProject Biography}} placed on there.
If there's a {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} it has its blp parameter set to yes, and {{WikiProject Biography}} goes inside that, otherwise it goes at the top of the page.
{{WikiProject Biography}} gets living=yes set, class=stub and auto=yes if the article has a stub template, and listas set appropriately if the article sets a default sort key.
I will look at each article first, so I don't blindly tag things that shouldn't be in Category:Living people at all.
I figured a zillion edits from a non-bot account might annoy someone so I'm requesting approval here. The bot already has a bot flag from years ago so no need to worry about that.
