Consensus: Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo

I kindly ask, in accordance with the consensus recently reached for "e" (here), since there are almost 1,000 results for this group (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns10=1&ns118=1&ns14=1&profile=advanced&search=Aldo%2C+Giovanni+%26+Giacomo&title=Special%3ASearch), to activate a bot for all these results. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Links to Assiniboia (electoral district)

Would someone please be able to retarget all of the existing links to Assiniboia (electoral district) to the article's current title, Assiniboia (federal electoral district)? The title Assiniboia (electoral district) is ambiguous with Assiniboia (provincial electoral district) and there is no primary topic for the former title. Thanks, Graham (talk) 03:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Links to Mark Kelly (general)

Would someone please be able to retarget all of the existing links to Mark Kelly (general) to the article's current title, Mark Kelly (Australian general)? The article's former title was ambiguous with Mark D. Kelly. Thanks, Graham (talk) 17:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

MP start dates

Please change 200+ MP start dates from "5 July 2024" back to "4 July 2024". This has been discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:CarterPD editing against consensus and ignoring talk page messages and User talk:CarterPD.--Launchballer 08:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Add Category:Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand restaurants to articles

Would an editor with AWB access add Category:Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand restaurants to all restaurants that received the Bib Gourmand designation? I began adding the category to restaurant articles, but there are too many for me to manually add them. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 07:33, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

You will need to provide a list of restaurant articles for anyone to be able to do this task. Or maybe there's a search result that could generate that list? Either way, AWB needs to start with a list of articles to apply an edit to. VanIsaac, GHTV ^cont_WpWS 07:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

This is the search result that could generate a list of candidate articles. There are some false positives such as Wikipedia articles about chefs and cities. Cunard (talk) 07:47, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Cunard, looks easy enough to do with Cat-a-lot. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Banner shell issue

There's a mixup with some templates, could someone please replace {{banner shell}} with {{banner holder}} to avoid AWB genfix issues? See Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser § Issue with template "fix" for more. Primefac (talk) 10:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

 Working   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  11:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done. 70% of the 470 {{banner shell}} I found were empty, so I decided to remove them instead of replacing them with {{banner holder}}. Most, if not all, of them appear to have been emptied by PIQA edits correctly moving WikiProject banners from {{banner shell}} to {{WikiProject banner shell}} [1][2][3].   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:39, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Works for me. Thanks! Primefac (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

New area code for Upstate South Carolina

As of mid-August, Upstate South Carolina now has two area codes: Area codes 864 and 821. Could someone with AWB access check all articles that redirect to Area code 864 to make sure the infobox correctly displays the updated area code number. The changes in parameter |area_code= (for articles that use Template:Infobox settlement) should be as follows:

parameter |area_code= itself should become |area_codes=

[[Area code 864|864]] should become [[Area codes 864 and 821|864, 821]]

Some articles may also use parameter |area_code_type= and will not become plural. For articles with the parameter, the most likely change needed will be:

[[Wikilink|Area code]] should become [[Wikilink|Area codes]]

Thank you and have a great day! -- DiscoA340 (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

 Working I'll give it a shot. Dr vulpes (Talk) 01:48, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

 DiscoA340 I just took all the pages that linked to Area code 864 and made the corrections. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:13, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

@Dr vulpes: Many thanks! -- DiscoA340 (talk) 22:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

So easy this might not even be the right venue

Henri IV's white plume could use some minor MOS copyedits: MOS:CURLY, MOS:DASH, and at least one reference before punctuation. GENFIXES alone might handle it all, but I'm not on Windows and don't have access to a gsub function from my browser. Please let me know if this kind of request is out of line, and how I could have fixed it myself with the installation of an applicable user script 🙃 Sorry, Folly Mox (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@Folly Mox, you can use the User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/DraftCleaner.js script for the mentioned MOS copyedits. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, DreamRimmer! That handled everything but the ref before punct, and broke a couple image links which I manually repaired via copypaste during double check of the script's changes.

Resolved
