Regular

This section lists automated actions that I may perform on a regular basis. If you feel it's been too long since one of them ran the last time, please email me or leave a note on my talk page.

Creating Related Articles on the basis of their Whatlinkshere, with this script.

python cg_related.py -always -start:! -log

Checking the activity status of editors, as per CZ:Editorial Council Resolution 0012, with this script.

Planned

This section lists automated actions which I intend to perform in the next few days, sorted by priority. When put here, the code has already been tested in debug mode (i.e. without actually making any edit). If test edits were done, they will be linked from here.

Irregular

This section lists automated actions which I have performed once or a few times only, with the most recent at the top.

Removing Category:True vipers - Common names tag (test edits)

python category.py remove -summary:"Bot test edit for automated removal of [[Category:True vipers - Common names]]."

Entered True_vipers_-_Common_names at prompt

Demo test edit — Changing World No. 1 to World No. 1, as per Forum request. List of affected pages.

python replace.py -pt:1 -cat:Sports_Content -regex "Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players" "Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players" -summary:"Bot test edit: Changing [[Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players|'''World No. 1''']] to [[Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players|'''World No. 1''']]"

For clarity, the summary in this example should perhaps be changed in future runs:

python replace.py -pt:1 -cat:Sports_Content -regex "Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players" "Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players" -summary:"Bot test edit: Changing '''Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players''' to Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players'''"

This assumes that all affected pages are categorized as Sports Content, but missing cases would remain on the list quoted in point two and could be done one by one.

Antidote test edit:

python replace.py -pt:1 -cat:Sports_Content -regex "Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players" "Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players" -summary:"Bot antidote test edit: Changing '''Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players''' back to '''Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players'''"

This simple antidote, however, would change all occurences of Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players into Catalog of World No. 1 male tennis players and not just those previously converted by the bot (e.g. also in Pancho Gonzales, which currently links to Tennis/Catalogs/World No. 1 male players.
