Discussion[edit]

How are you searching for/finding these pages? (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 07:58, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With regex, specifically insource:/= ?(Personal Life|Early Life|See Also|External Links) ?=/, which I will expand upon as needed. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eejit43: This is a task I've been thinking about for a while. Could you also please include "Music Career", "Political Career", "Also see", "see also", "references", "Source", and "Weblinks"? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 05:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GoingBatty will do! I likely won't get to this until the weekend, but I'll do it all then! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 11:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eejit43: Another way to find the appropriate articles would be to do a Database download and use AWB's database scanner, which would avoid the regex timing out.

Also, why only a one-time run? I'd presume there would be enough bad section headers to warrant running this monthly. GoingBatty (talk) 05:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In retrospect, I should have done that. I'll see how this run goes, and then go from there. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 11:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. There is no prejudice against converting this to an as-needed bot task if it is found to be useful. Primefac (talk) 12:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Following a request on my talk, this task is extended to an as-needed / ongoing task. If there are issues or concerns please let me (or another bot operator) know. Primefac (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
