- Swift response :) Very nice. Two questions... how regular are these lists available, and would it be too much to ask to have lists provided for the many subprojects of WikiProject Australia? Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 09:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- The lists are updated once every 1 or 2 months, based on the availability of data dumps, which I have no influence on. Listings for subprojects are no problem; I generate them using a bot. Just provide me with a comprehensive list showing
- The project page of the subproject,
- the category in which the subproject articles (or rather their talk pages) can be found.
- However, my response might not be that swift... also because the bot has not yet been fully approved. But a few days delay shouldn't really matter I think. --B. Wolterding (talk) 10:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Update: The bot is now approved, so one you provide the list of subprojects, generating the cleanup listings is no major problem. --B. Wolterding (talk) 08:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

editDone - Listing is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Cleanup listing. Note that this is a rather large project, with about 3800 articles flagged for cleanup. For size reasons, all listings with >1000 articles are suppressed - please contact me if you need the full listing. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

New list
editI think I'm the only one using it as yet, although I could be wrong. I do find it very useful, yes and have no suggestions or complaints with the format. If you can do them by workgroup, the Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Comics creators workgroups are probably the best ones to do. The first two have the largest body of editors, the latter has the greatest concern regarding WP:BLP. Hopefully other editors will start to recognise the issues and work on cleanup. Thanks once again for doing this. Hiding T 10:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Done - Listings for the three workgroups have been created. For links see reverse... well, see User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings#Tracking. Please announce these listings to the workgroups. --B. Wolterding (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 18:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have added the parent project on the top of the list. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 13:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Done - I have generated cleanup listings for all of those. You will find them on the "/Cleanup listing" subpages of the project pages. Also, I have placed a box on each project page that links to the cleanup listing. However, there was a small technical problem for Wikipedia:WikiProject Punjab (India). The reason is that the corresponding category did not exist at the time of the last database snapshot (May 24). But you just need to wait until a new snapshot becomes available - probably end of June - and a correct listing will be generated. --B. Wolterding (talk) 14:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject China
editI am posting this here instead of using the automated template because I have a question. Although our project template is located at Template:WikiProject China, as noted above, we often use a shorthand redirect, {{WPCHINA}}, instead. Can your bot pick up on all of the articles tagged with the redirect too? Either way, there are plenty of articles to go around, so just give us the first thousand of our massive stack, and we'll get to work. Thanks for this service, we really appreciate it.--Danaman5 (talk) 11:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- The use of shorthands is no problem; if (as here) the shortcut redirects to the main banner template, all articles tagged with the shortcut will appear in the cleanup listing as well. I have now added the subscription template to your project page; the listing should appear shortly. --B. Wolterding (talk) 11:46, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

wolterbot @ Wikiproject Graphic design
editHi, It has been a while (over a month) since I subscribed the graphic design wikiproject for wolterbot updates. They are not yet ocurring. Did I do something wrong?

Future enhancements
editBelow I have listed certain improvements to the listings that I might add in the future, but that are not available right now. If you have any futher ideas, do not hesitate to add them in a new section, or add comments to the existing ones. (Of course, this does not imply that I will actually implement them.)
Include assessment ratings
editSeveral editors have requested to include existing quality and/or importance assessments in the list - either by filtering the lists, or by indicating ratings in the existing lists. This might be helpful for focusing cleanup work on the most important parts.
The solution might look as follows:
- Separate (and additional) sections for listing FA-, FL-, A-, GA-Class, Top- and High-Importance articles flagged for cleanup (space permiting),
- Indicating the ratings of the abovementioned articles in the other listings (something like adding [FA, Top] behing an article's entry.
I might be adding such extensions at a later time, but I can't say at this time when it will be available. --B. Wolterding (talk) 08:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- This enhancement is now ready and will be included in listings that are newly generated from now on. For an example, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Cleanup listing. The change will roll out to all previous subscribers together with the next data update, approximately in mid-July. --B. Wolterding (talk) 18:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Suggestion - categorize the report pages
editIt might be handy if the generated report pages were all put in a category. (Give another way to find things, rather than hunting through listings of projects, and then finding the link to the report on the project page). Zodon (talk) 02:32, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- That's easy to do - can include that next time I run an update of all listings. --B. Wolterding (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Categories needing attention
editSuggestion from Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/Feature requests: Include Category:Wikipedia categories in need of attention in the listings. --B. Wolterding (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Select only the clean up tags that I care about
editI don't honestly think that WikiProject Medicine cares one way or the other about missing geocoordinates, and it generates dozens of different tags (because there's apparently a different geocoodinate tag for every country as well as each of the 50 US states). Is it possible to get "only the stuff I care about" listings, or failing that, could the geocoordinates be moved out of "clean up" and into their own major section on the page? (It would be easier to delete it en masse if it wasn't mixed in with all the other clean up cateogries). WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that this would be very difficult, if not outright impossible. The problem is how to reasonably specify what individual projects care about or not. We have hundreds of cleanup categories, and their list keeps changing all the time; each time the bot runs again after a month or so, the configuration would be outdated. --B. Wolterding (talk) 19:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Articles missing image alternate text
editWould it be possible to add articles in the cat Category:Unclassified articles missing image alternate text (& sub cats) to the cleanup listing. You may have seen the new(ish) guideline WP:ALT which is designed to help the visually impaired. At present few articles are tagged, but I suspect there are millions. I have suggested that a bot is used to identify/tag these. If they could then be included in cleanup listings wikiproject members may be encouraged to do this for articles in their areas.— Rod talk 10:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Reply from WPEQ
editIn response to your questions on the WP Equine talk page...
The listings that you create are extremely helpful in knowing which pages in our project need cleanup and other work. There is no other tool that I (or seemingly anyone else in our project) has found that gives such a comprehensive, yet simple, view of which articles should be at the top of our priority list.
The older version of the listing worked well, and the new format is even better and more helpful! This would be a great tool to offer on a wider scale, and I think that it would be of great benefit to WP if every active project had a listing to work from.
Only a comment (not a complaint): would it be possible to add articles with NPOV and wikify tags to the listing? I think I read on one of your pages that these two categories are formatted differently (or something like that), which is why they're not already included. However, having these two categories added to the listing would be fantastic, and make a helpful tool even better.
Thank you for all the work you've done! Dana boomer (talk) 12:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response - yes, I can include NPOV and Wikify from the next listing on. (Articles with COI tags, which might be seen has a "subgroup" of NPOV, are already included.) --B. Wolterding (talk) 12:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Religion Projects
editRegretably, the WikiProject Religion is not one of the most active projects out there, which is one of the reasons why I sought the cleanup listing, as it could give me an idea what needs work. Having such a central listing of the articles needing work, however, is an extremely useful tool. Personally, I think most if not all WikiProjects, particularly those with fewer active participants, would welcome such information, as it saves those few active editors the need of having to go through all the articles themselves to locate such tags. I think such a listing would be very welcome by virtually all active projects. John Carter (talk) 15:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi B.W.,
I just saw your posting on the Village Pump. The clean-up listings look like they could be useful for Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs. The banner is {{WikiProject Dinosaurs}}. It looks like 4% of our articles need some clean-up. How do we obtain the list? Firsfron of Ronchester 13:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Done - I have created the listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Cleanup listing. Please announce it to the project. --B. Wolterding (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Will do! Thanks so much! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 14:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Percentage of articles with cleanup tags
editabout 16% of all articles currently bear a cleanup tag of some kind
Out of curiosity, is this figure solely for top-of-article cleanup tags, or a combination of both inline and top-of-article, such as the {{fact}} mentioned in the sentence prior? If it's only 16% including inline, that's surprisingly low for me, though obviously not yet low enough. As for this project itself, it seems like a great idea, and I imagine that most Wikiprojects that have at least one editor who would love to just do cleanup on all their project's articles would relish such a list. Dreaded Walrus t c 17:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- That includes both top-of-article and inline markers. (I think I should update the figure, it must be around 17% now.) For a more detailed breakdown, see User:WolterBot/Cleanup statistics#Top cleanup categories. For example, {{fact}} is found on 5.9% of all articles. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Wow... it seems like only yesterday when every article had {{fact}} all over it, or maybe I'm just imagining things. Thanks for the info! :) Dreaded Walrus t c 17:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
All class/importance ratings?
editHi, I've just subscribed WP:BARD to the cleanup listings and I notice the bot only seems to look at FA/GA class and Top/High importance articles in the Listing by article assessment section. Is this intentional or is there perhaps some issue with the project's banner or categories?
I also noticed you added the name of the WikiProject banner to the bot template, but the documentation suggests this is optional when the project name is predictable. Were you just being thorough, or did I miss something? --Xover (talk) 10:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi! For the Listing by article assessment: Yes, this is intentional. I introduced this section on request of some (typically larger) wikiprojects since they wanted to prioritize cleanup by quality or importance ratings. For the lower-level ratings, these lists would typically need to be suppressed anyway because they are way too long.
- For the parameter: I added it because the standard name would be "WikiProject Shakespeare" (note the CamelCase), but your template is named "Wikiproject Shakespeare". The difference is minor, admittedly, bot for the bot it does make a difference. --B. Wolterding (talk) 10:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks. I was just worried we had some weirdness in the banner setup. --Xover (talk) 10:34, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
French Riviera
editFirst: two questions:
Is French Riviera flagged by you for clean up? (I'm cleaning it up anyway).
Will you please read at the foot of the French Riviera discussion page?
There has been much discussion about, and also unrest, that as an ENCYCLOPEDIA, Wiki must get its act together and get the FR definition right, and the Cote d'Azur definition right. It seems to be moving slowly but surely to a name change - and you ought to know about it because of the Tourism implications. I feel sure we will end up with the FR article (page) concentrating on just the traditional and historical FR, and the C d'A article (page) covering the whole of that coastline. See my talk page under Cote d@Azur 2. --JHB (talk) 14:46, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Issues
editSorry, it seems we were signed up at some point, but no new listings have been generated in a while. Did this get broken? Thanks, in advance, for your help...and for the bot... -- Mjquin_id (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- The latest report is based on data of 8 October, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Cleanup listing. Unfortunately I can't generate a new report at this time, since there is no more recent database dump. This is not under my influence, and I can't say when the next dump becomes available (you could ask at WP:PUMP/TECH though). --B. Wolterding (talk) 20:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
How to get report by cleanup type rather than by project
editHow do you request a report like this Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability/Listing by project that covers a particular type of problem across multiple wikiprojects? I couldn't figure out from the project page or the documentation here how that was created. Thank you. Zodon (talk) 02:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- These reports like Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability/Listing by project are currently not produced by the core bot, and there is no formal subscription procedure. I can set them up on request though. --B. Wolterding (talk) 18:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
can this be done for WP:GAN and WP:GA? Tks Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 05:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. I've added the subscription; the report should be available shortly at Wikipedia:Good articles/Cleanup listing. --B. Wolterding (talk) 20:36, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Philately
editBack in December I subscribed for a cleanup bot listing for the Philately WikiProject but since then nothing has happened. Did I not subscribe correctly, or are you running behind? ww2censor (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's just that the subscription template needs to go on the main page of the project, not the talk page. I've moved it now; the listing should appear shortly. --B. Wolterding (talk) 13:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I assumed I did something wrong. ww2censor (talk) 18:53, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Possible to rerun?
editI have just added a few hundred more articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sussex, many of which I noticed had various flags. Is it possible to have a cleanup listing rerun to pickup these new items or will have to wait until the next database dump? MortimerCat (talk) 01:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but these articles will be picked up only with the next database dump. The bot simply doesn't see the changes on the live wiki, it works on a locla copy of the data only. --B. Wolterding (talk) 22:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- I see now. All those articles I have added since the last dump do not magically update themselves on the dump! Oh well, its a great tool though, very useful ++ MortimerCat (talk) 23:04, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
WP Ancient Near East - statistics broken
editI wanted to use Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ancient_Near_East/Cleanup_listing (warning: large page!) but something is very broken with the statistics. The page list contains articles from hundreds of categories, not just those which are part of the project. Nor is this conistent - for example:
- Top-importance articles
- The work group has 40 top-importance articles. 113140 of them, or 282,850.0%, are flagged for cleanup. A detailed listing is suppressed due to size restrictions.
- High-importance articles
- The work group has 16 high-importance articles. 7 of them, or 43.8%, are flagged for cleanup.
I have had a cursory look at what the reasons might be but couldn't readily figure out whether this is due to an incorrect invocation of the bot at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ancient_Near_East which is ...
- {{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|wgcat=WikiProject Ancient Near East articles|hidden=1}}
... whether it has something to do with the way the project banner at Template:WikiProject_Ancient_Near_East assigns categories, or whether it's simply a bug. Also, the bot hasn't run for a while. Some guidance would be much appreciated. To make things easier to check: here are the talk page of a FA/Top-importance, GA/Top-importance and a C-class/High-importance. Thanks! Enki H. (talk) 19:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for mentioning this. Yes, there seems to be some bug in the bot, it has produced wrong output in the latest run as well. Though I think this is not generally a problem with the categories - this works fine in many other cases. I'll investigate. --B. Wolterding (talk) 23:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- The problem has been fixed now. This was an error in the bot code, and not related to the category scheme. Nevertheless there is something strange about your category scheme, as Category:WikiProject Ancient Near East articles contains article pages, not talk pages (the bot expects the talk pages in the category). I changed your subscription so that the bot looks for the banner template rather than category members; this now seems to work fine. --B. Wolterding (talk) 14:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! - very much appreciated. Enki H. (talk) 15:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject Elements
editDue to a change in the templates only halfe of the articles show up in the new report. Is it possible to fix it for the next run? Uptil now only the
- Template:Chemical Element
was used for the project, but due to the resurection of the isotop project the second template
- Template:WikiProject Elements
is used for all elements and isotopes now. Is it possible to get a combined report to the same page like before? Or do we have to change something to make it possible --Stone (talk) 20:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject Guatemala - help needed
editHi, I've noticed the "cleanup listing will be generated shortly" template has been sitting around on Wikipedia:WikiProject Guatemala for some time now so I took a look to see what the problem was - it seems to be that it can't generate a listing because WP Guatemala is a sub-project of Wikipedia:WikiProject Central America, defined by having {{WikiProject Central America|Guatemala=yes}} on the article talk page. Any idea how to get this working? Thanks, Simon Burchell (talk) 22:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Article wizard not a cleanup category
editCategory: Articles created via the Article Wizard, is currently being picked-up in cleanup listings, even though it's not a cleanup category. Please can you fix, thanks Tom B (talk) 18:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Suggestion for grouping
editIs it possible/reasonably convenient to put all of the geocoordinate requests in the same subsection, rather than listing each country, US state, and even (in California) separately? A similar arrangement for "expert attention" would also be sensible. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:40, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
French bot
editIs there an equivalent to WolterBot on the French Wikipédia ? --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 20:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
I added the {{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription}} tag to the project page on 5th June and haven't got a list yet. I'm not sure if I made a mistake or if it's just not been done yet. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. KlickingKarl (talk) 12:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
request: only in specific cat?
editHi, is there any possibility to get a list with articles that are in one or more (sub-)category(-ies)? mabdul 18:25, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
WolterBot replacement
editI have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot. See the tool's wiki page and the tool itself. Svick (talk) 18:08, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Help
editHi, I subscribed to the WolterBot cleanup listing a while ago for WP:FUNGI, but am unsure how to get the information. I'm under the impression that the bot is supposed to create a page called Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fungi/Cleanup_listing, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Sasata (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- WolterBot doesn't work anymore. I have created a (partial) replacement: WikiProject cleanup listing. The listings are only on toolserver (not here on wiki). You can find the one for WP Fungi at [2]. User<Svick>.Talk(); 21:04, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Bot does not work anymore
editI have boldly added a notice to the page that says that the bot is no longer working. The only reason I had, was to inform wikipedia editors looking for information why the cleanup listings have not been updated for a long time. If I added something incorrect, please improve it, or replace the entire notice with something else. But I think something should be there, to show that the "once every 1-2 months" schedule has been dropped. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 20:29, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
