Adding WikiProject Romania

Hi, I would like to use the Yobot to add the {{WikiProject Romania}} to the appropriate articles talk pages (basically BRFA 9). I couldn't find anywhere any instructions on how to do that. Can you please direct me to the right place? Thanks a lot! --Codrin.B (talk) 14:25, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea, at least when the project has its 14% of articles unassessed. OccultZone (Talk) 14:38, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So, how do I do it? --Codrin.B (talk) 12:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B write here what is that you want to be done. I need exact categories that the bot should run in. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:07, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! I thought there would be a way to run it myself. The categories that fully apply are all sub-cats of Category:Romania, Category:Dacia and Category:History of Moldova. Let me know if you need further info.--Codrin.B (talk) 12:25, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B if you wan to run it manually by your self to save time, energy and complains then you'll first have to download AWB and gain access to it if you do not have already. do this and then I can give you further instructions of how to do it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:37, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I already have AWB and Kingbotk plugin. But I am fine if you run it first time.--Codrin.B (talk) 12:39, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B I would prefer if you do it. At least some of the work. You need to create the list of pages by loading wished categories and subcategories.Then please post them somewhere in your userspace and I can do the rest. I do not want to risk creating the list by myself since category trees tend to be a real mess. If you could also exclude the pages that already have the banner by using List comparer then it would be great. The bot can do the rest. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:45, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's no problem. I can generate the list from the category. Do you want the article or the "Talk:" version? However I am not well versed on using the List comparer. How would I find the articles that have the tag? Can the bot skip those articles which have the tag? Thanks.--Codrin.B (talk) 13:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I think I managed to do it. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging.--Codrin.B (talk) 17:48, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed some issues with the large page, so I split it in 3 (meanwhile I also found and added more entries as well):

(moved from User talk:Materialscientist) Please resolve at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Romania#Bot_to_automatically_add_banners. I am running on a list created by another editor. Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:36, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look through my very latest contribs - those pages have nothing to do with Romania (which is often evident from article name), and I have only started reverting. This is unacceptable. Materialscientist (talk) 11:37, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lists can be found at: User_talk:Yobot#Adding_WikiProject_Romania. Project is aware. So let's ask them. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:39, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Some articles from my reverts are on the list, but some not (Guam, Grey seal, Vladimir Lenin) - could you try to understand why Yobot edited them? Materialscientist (talk) 11:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Materialscientist there are 3 lists, all given by the same person. Lenin is on 3rd list. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this too, some arbitrary Croatian pages were tagged. Please make sure not to reactivate this task until the lists are reviewed... --Joy [shallot] (talk) 11:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Joy and Materialscientist: please someone review the lists. I started the task after 2 days (52 hours) of no comments on WikiProject Romania. I can also provide the list of pages affected. 534 pages of list 1, 319 of list 2 and 282 of list 3. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:53, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The onus is primarily on people who composed the list to make sure it makes sense, and only after they explain and confirm that they're a-OK with it, then someone else should also verify that. I asked the author on their talk page. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 11:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is too huge. Due to the inaccuracy of the list, it might be better to simply abandon this task. So many pages are redlinked, what if you had created them right after your run? I might be wrong here, but no idea why the redlinks were provided. OccultZone (Talk) 11:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redlinks are not a problem. They are talk pages of existing pages. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:07, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis: Bot started this task at 10:50, 9 June 2014. 1135 pages were tagged till the bot was stopped by Materialscientist. Task was instructed by a WikiProject Romania member and the project was given 52 hours to check the list generated by the same member. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:07, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

this and this tagging are invalid. Beagel (talk) 13:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Beagel please feel free and revert any of the 1,000 last edits. Editor who requested the tag has been informed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Materialscientist did you finish reverting? I did some reversion myself too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:25, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the 3 lists above were generated based on 6-level deep subcategories of Category:Romania. A small number of articles in such an automatically generated list are false positives and will be promptly removed, as people report them. I already spent the time to remove a lot of articles that seemed as inappropriate. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging list which I provided initially has even less false positives, as it is a generated out of 5-level deep subcategories of Category:Romania. I could go even lighter or generate the list in a different way, if needed. But I think is impossible not to have false positives, which I am prepared to deal with individually as reported. Suggestions? --Codrin.B (talk) 18:25, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B the category trees are really broken in many cases. For starts, please remove any false positives and work on the direction to remove incorrect tags. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:33, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B I removed 1,000 entries from the 3 lists. Still it has to be checked more thoroughly. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Codrin.B I cleaned the other list too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:45, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The pages in question have been reverted, thanks to a list given by GoingBatty et al. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:59, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did some more cleanup on each of the lists I provided initially. What list has GoingBatty provided and how was it generated? Thanks! --Codrin.B (talk) 15:02, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Codrinb: See User talk:GoingBatty#Help requested. GoingBatty (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2014 (UTC):[reply]
Cool. I reviewed that list and indeed the majority were incorrectly tagged with {{WP:RO}}. But I found a few, 4-5 at least, that were correctly tagged even though the word "Romania" was not present, such a Talk:Great Synagogue (Bucharest) and Talk:Greek colonies in Dacia. The last one I don't know how to revert since it is a red link now. I'll keep reviewing GoingBatty's list and the original lists, and clean up. --Codrin.B (talk) 15:29, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Codrinb: Guess I should have looked for "romania" too, so as to find {{romania-synagogue-stub}} on Great Synagogue (Bucharest). I added "Bucharest, Romania" to the prose. GoingBatty (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty: There are also a set of Romania-related rules defined for the AlexNewArtBot. Perhaps they can be of use in this case as well.--Codrin.B (talk) 09:18, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Codrinb and GoingBatty: this means that the 3+1 lists are now cleaned? -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:37, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: Not sure what you mean. I posted a list on my talk page, and you said you cleaned it. GoingBatty (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty: your list was about pages already tagged. I talk about the to-do lists with the untagged pages. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:38, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Magioladitis: Thanks for the clarification. I did not do anything with the to-do lists with the untagged pages. GoingBatty (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did further cleanup on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging1 list. I will continue with the rest. --Codrin.B (talk) 09:16, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also cleaned up further Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging2 and Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging3. --Codrin.B (talk) 15:01, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Codrin.B I'll resume tagging in a few hours. I hope I do not get blocked again. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:10, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't. Looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging1, there are plenty of articles that have next to noting to do with Romania, and if you start tagging them for that project again, you'll probably get reblocked. Allied occupation of Libya? Anglo-French War (1627–29)? Ascaric (archbishop of Braga)? Baltic University? These are just four articles I checked since they seemed bizarre wrt Romania, and all four are unrelated to Romania (certainly the last three). Fram (talk) 15:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fram THANKS! This is becoming a nightmare. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:20, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The 3 lists (1,2,3) have been generated using 6-level deep subcategories Category:Romania, so they have more false positives, although I cleaned up a lot of them. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging list which I provided initially has far less false positives, as it is a generated out of 5-level deep. So I suggest using that instead is safer. But even before using any list, I wonder if you could eliminate first those articles that do not contain these words, per GoingBatty's previous script. And only then run the tagging. --Codrin.B (talk) 13:47, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The second article on that list is 1926 Slavery Convention, which contains the word "Romania", so it should be tagged according to your rule. Applying this logic generally would mean that this article would be tagged for 99 country projects. This doesn't seem helpful at all. And that's, like I said, the second article on your list. Fram (talk) 06:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's not a frequent situation and yet a debatable case. There are indeed a few articles on international agreements where Romania is a participant and which are correctly part of Romania related categories. I don't see a problem adding corresponding project tags for the participating countries in such agreements, since WP:NOTPAPER. But let's not get extreme with corner case examples. 98% of those country projects are not using Yobot as far as I know. In any case, I removed that specific article from the list to avoid any discussion. I think if we can apply the filtering rules above to the list in question, we will have a very streamlined list with very few false positives. The remaining false positives can be removed on a case by case basis manually, as people find them. I volunteer for that work and to handle messages for any complaints. But I don't think is the end of the world if a small set of articles get tagged incorrectly. People will either remove them immediately or report the issue. In any case, I am looking for some constructive help on how to further filter the list if necessary. --Codrin.B (talk) 16:16, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did an intersection of Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging with User:Bamyers99/sandbox/RomaniaMissingWP (a list generate out of articles in categories whose names contain "Romania" and don't have tags). The result is a much streamlined list of 5K articles (more than half were eliminated): Wikipedia:WikiProject Romania/Drafts/Articles that need tagging filtered. This one looks much better. Can we use it? --Codrin.B (talk) 08:58, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Codrin.B, Fram should I resume this? -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:34, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you best totally abandon this, Magioladitis. That list starts with 17 pages on the Moldovan football competition from recent years. While Moldova has a historical strong link to Romania, it makes absolutely no sense to tag these pages for Romania (it would be like tagging pages about Belgium with the Wikiproject Netherlands, which wouldn't be appreciated ;-) ). The rest of the list, which contains mostly Romania-related pages, does contain too many similar problematic pages, either to do with Moldova or purely international pages. If CodrinB can't or won't make the effort to manually check such list before coming here, then you should never base a tagging spree on a list he provides, IMO.

Tagging for WikiProject Chicago

Resolved

After a bot request by TonyTheTiger a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago I'll start tagging pages for the project based on a list they created. The WikiProject has been notified and there was positive response: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chicago#Tagging_request_notice. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:14, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Task completed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've been mentioned on User talk:TonyTheTiger#Yobot adding Project Chicago tags. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 18:49, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notbroken, yet again

here the bot just bypassed two instances of a redirect. I thought the bot was now making "Absolutely no" edits that do not change how the page looks, including bypassing redirects.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 10:11, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. This is what I've been talking about all along... the lag problem. Yobot made a checkwiki edit based off a list of articles, but the problem was fixed by the time Yobot got there. The previous edit removed a checkwiki #61 error... punctuation after a ref. See paragraph in "Davenport rotations" section. Bgwhite (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting from the above diff: "This means that bot makes no edits that solely bypass redirects, etc. which is I think what everyone wants from me.", and no edits is no edits. That was the basis for my endorsement immediately following. So am I now to understand it that actually nothing's changed, the bot will still make edits which make no difference to the display or correctness of the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnBlackburne (talkcontribs) 19:39, June 21, 2014‎ (UTC)
Would it be reasonable to check either the Skip Only minor genfixes or Skip Only cosmetic changes are made to avoid these types of edits? GoingBatty (talk) 20:05, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not possible unless we want that to avoid situations that happen to less 1% of the pages processed (because this is the number we are discussing) I am obliged to load each error separately increasing my work load 5 times. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
JohnBlackburne, I stated the lag problem multiple times. I also stated, "Yobot will be blocked within the first five minutes with #1 in place." You even stated, "The time lag problem I'm aware of but isn't the problem here..." There is absolutely no way possible of overcoming this problem. You cannot just click "Skip Only minor genfixes" or "cosmetic changes" as some Checkwiki fix are located in these. Also, why turn them off when they "fix" things while fixing a listed problem in 99% of articles. Bgwhite (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it's not possible to fix this; I can think of two or three ways to do it. One would be to check the date the page was last changed. If it was changed since the list was generated then skip it: mark it for manual checking or just leave it to be caught the next time. In theory if a page is being actively edited this means it's never fixed but a page that has many editors eyes on it will likely be fixed manually.

Another would be to re-run the checklist check on each page as it's loaded, to check it still has the problem it is supposed to have. This will add time but not much: it's only checking one page, and altogether only checking a few thousand pages, not the millions it checked to generate the initial list. Or check the actual diff for what changes have been made. This would also let it include this detail in the edit summary, to improve on the undescriptive one currently used. This too would take more time, but the extra burden could be minimised if combined with a date check so only pages recently changed require additional verification.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 15:27, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

JohnBlackburne, you have defeated the purpose of running a bot. This is a bot and not a manual endeavor. There were 26,000 errors at the last dump. ~1,000 new errors come in every day. You want to manually check if the page has been edited since a run? You want to manually check to see if the problem is still there? You want to manually check the diff? If the bot was causing errors, that would be one thing, but the bot is not. You want to have us spend extra weeks in order for a few page not to show up on a watchlist. No, this has gone beyond ridiculous. I repeatedly mentioned this problem and you ignored me. I do think the edit summaries should be more descriptive and say what error is being fixed. Bgwhite (talk) 21:08, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not ignoring you. I'm trying to find a way this can be addressed. The things I suggested were all things that could be automated. I'm also hoping for a clarification from Magioladitis, as to what was meant by the statement "This means that bot makes no edits that solely bypass redirects", which it has since been doing.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 02:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
JohnBlackburne, yes you are ignoring me. You ignored me multiple times when I alerted you to this very problem. No they cannot be automated. Checking the diff is useless as there is no way to automate if it fixed the problem. There is no way to automate if the article was edited because it can't tell if the problem was fixed. What you want is to shut down all AWB bots and other bots as well. Your problem edit of Yobot's was operating within normal bot processing. If you see Yobot making multiple edits in row that didn't have an error recently, then that is an issue that warrants attention. You were warned, you said you understood, there is nothing else to see here unless you are solely after a pound of flesh. Bgwhite (talk) 04:54, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
John, the situation is that AWB is a great tool, but with some limitations. It is a swings and roundabouts situation. Because the Wiki-text is free-form it is incredibly hard to guarantee a low rate of errors - see for example the problems the WYSIWIG editor has had, and, in fact, the MediaWiki engine does not even parse its own pages correctly. Moreover both the parsing and the tasks being done are moving targets. Given this the tool performs extremely well, and we have to accept a residual error rate for any complex rule-set.
The purpose of the AWB rules of use is social, to prevent the mass-editing of articles to fix incredibly minor problems, particularly as these can be picked up by the AWB tasks regularly running across the encyclopaedia. They are imposed by the authors/maintainers of the tool to keep the tool from coming into disrepute, and are hallowed by usage. If a particular process is making a very small percentage of cosmetic edits, then this should not be seen as a significant problem, though of course fixing it would be nice.
All the best: Rich Farmbrough17:16, 23 June 2014 (UTC).

WikiProject Pop music banner tagging

Resolved

I would like to request the bot to tag all articles under the category for Pop music including its subcategories. Thanks in advance! Erick (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Erick no problem as soon as you follow instructions User_talk:Yobot#New_rules_for_WikiProject_tagging_via_Yobot (I'll put them in my bot's main page soon). -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I got the approval on the WikiProject talk request as required. (see my request at WP:BOTREQ). I am confused about rule #4 though. So I can't request categories that have subcategories to be tagged? Erick (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Erick yes, I need you that you give me the list of all subcategories that you want to be tagged. I am sorry for that but this is because the category tree is most probably broken and you'll have to check it. In the past with my bot got blocked for tagging irrelevant pages that were loaded due to broken category tree. I need to minimise the risk. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:32, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let me see if I got this right:

Click on "►" below to display subcategories:
Category Pop music by nationality‎ not found

Is this correct? Erick (talk) 21:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The important thing is the following: Are there are "weird" categories that they should not' be tagged? Did you check and everything is safe to start? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:41, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see, I removed "Books about pop music" because most of them focused on popular music rather than the pop music genre. Same thing with Pop music television. I'd have the bot ignore the subcategories under "Pop music record labels" as it contains artists signed under these record labels but may not be identified as a pop singer. That's all I've got. EDIT: Ignore this category: Gershwin Prize recipients. Edit 2: Quick questions, will it inherit the class rating and will it ignore talk pages already tagged under the project banner? Erick (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: Is there anything else that needs to be done or is it all set to go? Erick (talk) 04:49, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Erick I would like the list of the categories posted somewhere. Giving me the category list and asking me to remove some of them won't work. I know this by experience. See my talk page. It is full of complains about broken category trees. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For instance, loading only the first category tree gave me 40,074 results. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize, but I'm not understanding what you said. Also, I've been thinking of getting just pop artists tagged because sometimes they might record albums or songs not classified as pop and it can avoid bot mistaggings. Erick (talk) 17:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Erick Are you sure that every page in every subcategory of cat "Pop music by nationality‎" should be tagged by my bot? -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:13, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather just go with Pop musicians instead. Erick (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Erick Pop musicians with no duplicates has 15,425. I'll post the categories affected before starting tagging. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:45, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
15,219 new tags are expected in 680 categories. I posted in WikiProject's talk page and in BOTREQ page to ensure that there are no objections. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:54, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Magioladitis, I appreciate the help. Erick (talk) 18:56, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Erick Task completed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:54, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, thank you for lending a hand with the bot Magioladitis. Erick (talk) 23:15, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Family Support in the US

Yobot: Thank you for visiting my page. Agencies, while important to families, may not serve all the families that family support refers to (e.g., long term service populations; mental health populations). Very nice to meet you.

What are these edits?

Resolved

See here and here The former just seems unnecessary but is the latter even accurate? Imagine if every MiLB farm team had a tag for every MLB team with which it's been associated... Is that what we want? —Justin (koavf)TCM 17:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Koavf, "don't kill the messenger" is somewhat accurate in this case. You are complaining to the wrong person. See talk message above entitled, "Tagging for WikiProject Chicago". Bgwhite (talk) 17:59, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Koavf, Bgwhite In 2 cases (so far) out of 4865 tagged, the banner was removed, but it is not my fault. I implemented Wikipedia:Bot_requests#WikiProject_talk_page_tagging following the rules established. I think the false positives came better than I expected judging by the other bot requests that I can still not run due to the increased number of false positives. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I remember Kumioko tagging talk pages with WP United States on anything with the word "America" in it. Ahhh, the good old days. Bgwhite (talk) 18:45, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Bgwhite I think this has to do entirely with what the WikiProject thinks it concerns it. The WikiProjects rights remain unclear in many cases. What will we do if a WikiProject decides that every single page is under its scope? This is not a rhetorical question. I do not know the answer. I recall WikiProjecr redirects tagging every single redirect at some point in the good old days. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:51, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgwhite: Did kumioko changed {{WikiProject United States}} to {{WP United States}}. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 00:53, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OccultZone. I didn't know about {{yo}}. Thanks for the laugh. I don't recall Kumioko doing that and I highly doubt that he did. He usually converted WP -> WikiProject. He did add listas to {{WikiProject United States}} for biographies for a bit, which didn't need to be done. If listas is set in WP Biography, all other banners use that value.

Historic houses taskforce tagging

Resolved

Hi Yobot. I made a request at Wikipedia:Bot requests#WikiProject taskforce tagging. Can you help? --ELEKHHT 03:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Elekhh: Hi. As I see at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Architecture/participants you are a member of the WikiProject. Can you please post, if you have not done already, at the WikiProject's page that you requested this task? Then, if there are no disagreements for 3 days, I'll start tagging. This is just to ensure that there is consensus for this request. I would also help if I was given the exact categories in which the bot will run. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 07:06, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:49, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AFD multi does not go at the top

Resolved

You are moving the AFD multi template from its correct position after the Wikiprojects to the top of the talk page. Example [1]. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Administrator instructions#Carrying out the AfD close. SpinningSpark 12:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spinningspark it is a history template so yes per WP:TPL it goes above WikiProjects. I can run my bot and fix the placement if you achieve a clarification in the WP:TPL talk page. Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:21, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am starting the suggested thread to try to resolve. SpinningSpark 12:38, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
