Thehelpfulbot 7

Operator: The Helpful One

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Python

Function Overview: Will move pages in the Category:Wikipedia bots's subcategories from an old category to a new one (i.e. renaming the category)

Edit period(s): Whenever required.

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

Function Details: Using pywikipedia's category.py, I will use the "move" function to run tasks that will allow me to easily move categories and/or subcategories to the new names when asked to for Category:Wikipedia bots's subcategories. This will be done in line with established CfD requests.

Discussion

Note, I have updated this BRFA so that it is just for Category:Wikipedia bots. The Helpful One 20:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As it is now limited to a specific range of categories - and I hope will be useful in sorting out "my" (now thanks to everyone's help "our") grand plan for these categories, and it's tried and tested code, and it's non controversial (CfDs establish the consensus, I can't see why you should have a trial, at least.

Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.. In fairness to other editors, I should point out I have adjusted the function details above with regard to a conversation the operator and I are having on IRC.) - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 20:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. I did the trial to 15 edits, see here temporarily to see what it's done (that will change when the bot makes more edits). The Helpful One 20:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Approved. on condition that you adjust the edit summary to make it clear that you're also making general edits (Image to File). Also, using the word "renaming" might make it more obvious. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 20:49, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
