Approved.

RjwilmsiBot 2

Operator: Rjwilmsi

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Tag redirect pages with WP:TMR tags

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WP:TMR

Edit period(s): probably single run on release of new database dump

Estimated number of pages affected: Thousands. Exact number not yet clear.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function details: Use a new general fix function in AWB being developed by me to tag redirect pages with one or more of the tags specified on WP:TMR. If possible I would like to keep the scope of authorisation open-ended to allow future expansion of the task without the need to bother the BAG for a small change. As it stands the current tagging criteria will be:

where the redirect page title and the redirect target differ only by punctuation, tag with {{R from modification}} (e.g. diff) if not already tagged with that template.
where the redirect page title equals the redirect target with diacritics replaced with the equivalent Latin character, tag with {{R from title without diacritics}} (no example as yet) if not already tagged with that template.
Other similar tagging per WP:TMR. Clearly only some of the tags can be decided by a bot.

Scope: mainspace en-wiki only. Redirect pages only.

Note on number of pages: I'm not currently clear on what database dump includes the title and text of redirects, so don't yet know volumes.

Discussion

If I could request that redirects to disambiguation pages that aren't already tagged get tagged with {{R from unknown disambiguation}} that will give WP:Disambiguation something to work with - a generated list that can then be sorted into the various redirect classes for disambiguation pages.
