Erik9bot 10 edit

Operator: Erik9 (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually started, performs edits automatically.

Programming Language(s): Uses AWB with autosave function

Function Overview: Various template and categorization tasks related to articles concerning chemical elements and isotopes thereof, as requested at WP:BOTREQ

Edit period(s): continuous, as needed

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Tagging

Done All 118 elements will be tagged with (or have {{Chemical Element}} converted to the new template) {{WP Elements}} and {{V0.5}}. The parameters |class= and |importance= will be imported into {{WP Elements}} and be written if not present. The parameter |peer-review=yes will be imported if present, but otherwise will be removed.
All existing pages of the form Elementname-X, where X is a number, will be tagged with (or have {{Chemical Element}}/{{Chemical Element Isotope}} converted to the new template) {{WP Elements|isotope=yes}}. The parameters |class= and |importance= will be imported when possible, and be written if not present. The parameter |peer-review=yes will be imported if present, but otherwise will be removed. If the pages are redirects, they will be tagged with |class=redirect.
All existing pages of the form Isotopes of Elementname, will be tagged with (or have {{Chemical Element}}/{{Chemical Element Isotope}} converted to the new template) {{WP Elements|isotope=yes}}. The parameters |class= and |importance= will be imported when possible, and be written if not present. The parameter |peer-review=yes will be imported if present, but otherwise will be removed. If the pages are redirects, they will be tagged with |class=redirect.

Categorizing

Done All 118 elements will be categorized into Category:Chemical elements and Category:Elementname. All Category:Elementname will also be categorized into Category:Chemical elements.
Done All (even redirects) existing pages of the form Elementname-X will be categorized into Category:Isotopes of elementname. All Category:Isotopes of elementname will be categorized into the corresponding Category:Elementname.
Done All (even redirects) existing pages of the form Isotopes of Elementname will be categorized into Category:Isotopes of elementname. All Category:Isotopes of elementname will be categorized into the corresponding Category:Elementname.
Done The categories Category:Chemical elements, Category:Elementname will be tagged with {{WP Elements|class=category|importance=na}} and the categories of Category:Isotopes of elementname will be tagged with {{WP Elements|class=category|importance=na|isotopes=yes}}.

Deprecation of old banners

All {{Chemistry}}/{{WikiProject Chemistry}}/{{WPCHEMISTRY }} templates found on these pages will be removed, as they are redundant with the new banner.
All {{WikiProjectNotice|PROJECT=XXX}}, where XXX contains the words "chemistry", "isotope/isotopes" or "element/elements", or combinations of them will be removed, as they are redundant with the new banner.
The remaining {{Chemical Element}} and {{Chemical Element Isotope}} will not be converted pursuant to this task.

Discussion edit

I just want to make it clear that elementname is a placeholder for whichever element we're speaking of, and not a category actually named "Elementname". Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 02:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's not a category for every element. Would Category:Einsteinium even be useful? – Quadell ^(talk) 14:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the einsteinium category would, IMO, end up containing (at the very least) Einsteinium, Isotopes of einsteinium, Albert Ghiorso (discoverer of einsteinium), Albert Einstein (named after him) that would be lumped in it. It's also possible that redirects from Einsteinium-X to Isotopes of einsteinium (or perhaps a more appropriate Isotopes of einsteinium#Einsteinium-X) are eventually created, and these would end up in the Einsteinium category. I suspect that it doesn't currently exist because it's a hassle to create all the categories and to the basic population of them (which the bot would do).

Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Okay. Can you do both category creation and talkpage editing as part of the trial? – Quadell ^(talk) 13:08, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done, [1]. It was necessary to extend the trial to 45 edits due to my initial omission of descriptive text in the category pages; however, it should be possible to include the descriptive text at the time the remaining categories are created. Erik9 (talk) 03:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Looks great, thanks for doing this. – Quadell ^(talk) 12:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Slight tweak edit

Done Please also categorize all Category:Isotopes of elementname in Category:Isotopes. Thanks.Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 13:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I did it. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 00:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
