Category:Undated AfC submissions warning from EarwigBot I, Task 2

The Earwig, Category:Undated AfC submissions is not empty, and contains submissions! In order to clean it up, per the task I was approved for, I strongly consider running EarwigBot I, Task 4 using this local command: file:///Users/ben/Desktop/Benjamin/Wikipedia/Bots/EarwigBot_I/Task_4/Launch.app. Thanks, EarwigBot I 22:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Done. It wasn't a submission needing attention, but rather a user that did not know how to close submissions properly. The Earwig 01:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

WPOOK's advert banner is done!

Is it perfect? Can it be improved?

Penubag loves feedback. Please let him know if it can be further improved.

Thank you.

Accidentally deleted cats

I'm going through and restoring most of them now and noticed you'd recreated many. Sorry to cause you so much work recreating categories. :/ لenna vecia 07:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

It's alright, I know you were doing maintenance. The category recreation wasn't that much trouble, anyway. The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 19:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Help Desk

Please reply my message in the help desk. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 23:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I made a comment there. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon! The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 00:31, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

But the buttons worked after I logged out from wikipedia and editing as anon ip. I have tried blanking the my javascipt page, but it doesn't work. Please help. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 04:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Outline collaboration #2: Outline of Gibraltar

This outline is approaching completion.

I added a bunch more links, finding them with the following Google site-specific searches of Misplaced Pages:

"of" and "Gibraltar"

"in" and "Gibraltar"

"for" and "Gibraltar"

with "Gibraltar" not at the end

(You can use the wikicode for the links above as the basis for new searches - just replace "Gibraltar" with any other country or region name).

Request: please redirect the redlinks! (bluelinking...)

The redlinks need to be bluelinked where possible. The most useful way is to create redirects leading to the material (which is usually included in a section of an article - see Misplaced Pages:Redirect#Redirects to page sections. That way, when the redirect pages are replaced by the actual articles, the links will already point to the right places.

Please take a crack at it, and bluelink a few.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Have fun.

Categorized submissions

Hey, I'm sure you noticed that many users pre-emptively categorize their submissions, or give them stub or other templates that auto-categorize the page. Jitse's bot used to remove the cats and neuter the templates that caused them under the old AFC system. I was wondering if you could set one of your bots (or create a new one) to do the same thing to declined submissions? I noticed you've been running a few AFC bots, so I assumed the request wouldn't bother you. Thanks. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

This should be a pretty simple bot, and I'd be happy to do it. I'll get back to you when I have time. Regards, The Earwig (Talk | Editor review) 10:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, would be very helpful. An extra colon neutralises the categories and interwikis, and a {{tl}} to kill any templates. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll begin working on this as soon as EarwigBot III is online. However, before starting this, I'd like to know if I should combine this with the potential bot task I suggested at WP:AN#Category:Declined AfC submissions needs clearing. There does not yet appear to be any consensus on whether to nuke the submissions as Nakon (talk · contribs) suggested, keep them all, or keep them for a certain time period, as I suggested. If we reach a decision to operate a bot to delete old (really old) submissions, then both tasks could be combined into the AfC Declined EarwigBot, in theory. But if we obtain consensus to keep the old submissions, then I might as well just run this as a task of EarwigBot I. The Earwig (Talk | Editor review) 00:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we need to discuss that on the project page. But anyway I don't think they would combine because the category and template-nuking can be done within a day of being declined. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, it would be fantastic if we could date all the accepted submissions as well. A small change to your task 2 program should achieve that I think. What do you think? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
