Not yet implemented

  • Migrate math ratings to use categories for field selection instead of backlinks. Allow multiple fields to be used. — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Implemented

  • Make pages for each field automatically. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Make pages like the field pages for each of the quality classes. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Make each cell of the master table link somewhere. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Change name of "Geometry and topology" to "Geometry". Geometry guy 11:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Generate an additional table for field vs importance (and possibly also a transpose quality vs importance table which can be combined with it). This would be useful for keeping track of the balance of importance ratings within individual fields. Geometry guy 11:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
    • — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Generate importance vs quality and field vs quality tables separately so that they can be presented individually in some places; the include part could omit the opening line and closing brace of the table so that the tables can easily be combined with a common width for the main table.

  • In regards to how your bot creates the ability to break down FA by importance in the math project, could you possibly do the same thing for the economics project? I would greatly appreciate it! Just let me know what I'd have to do on my end to get this setup. Cheers! Gary King (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Was pretty fast to set up, forgot to note it here. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Would you consider adding the time (approximate to when the bot places the entry, if that's the basis for it now) in addition to the date on User:VeblenBot/PERtable? It would make sorting the table by that column more effective. Bsherr (talk) 03:02, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Not implemented

  • Automatically place an {{adminbacklog}} tag to User:VeblenBot/PERtable if there's multiple requests which are more than 48 hours old, and remove it when there aren't any which are that old. Od Mishehu 07:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I think it is more accurate to let humans decide whether there is a backlog. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • On User:VeblenBot/PERtable, perhaps you should change the quotation mark type to these sorts of quotations: ""? WP:PUNC says that the "straight quotes", as it were, are more desirable than typographic quotation marks. It Is Me Here t / c 09:47, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
    • I think these are in the article titles themselves. The bot does not add curly quotation marks. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
