This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots. However be aware of various tools available to all users which can be used to accomplish the work without the need for a bot:
  1. Gadget Cat-a-lot can be used for most category adding, removing and moving
  2. VisualFileChange tool can be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category, creating a mass-deletion-request, let you insert tags to the file-description-pages (even copy from exif/meta-data). You can also perform find and replace operations with or without JavaScript regular expressions (regexp). A common use case is: "I've changed my username". It's a web-tool and can be launched directly.
  3. AutoWikiBrowser can be used for large number of supervised and automatic edits
  4. Commons:Batch uploading page can be used to request mass image uploads
Please add {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} when request is resolved.
SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 7 days.

Adding missing descriptions[edit]

There are ~1200 uploads by Benjah-bmm27 missing a description (incategory:Media_lacking_a_description Benjah-bmm27). The file name could be inserted as (provisional) description using a bot: {{en|File name without extension}} --Leyo 08:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i18n of sk "CatDiffuse" tags[edit]

Could anyone replace this Slovak language tag about categorization

<big>'''Vdaka za vás obrázok. Pom^ozte prosím, udrzat v kategórii systém a poriadok. Preto svoj obrázok správne zaradte do príslusnej podkategórie'''</big>

from the search query with a standard i18n {{CatDiffuse}} tag? The meaning is the same. — Draceane talkcontrib. 08:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Draceane: Done. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 09:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lampasas Daily Leader[edit]

There are about 16k pages of the Lampasas Daily Leader in Category:Media contributed by Lampasas Public Library that need categories. Could a bot add Category:Lampasas Daily Leader or better yet, volume and year categories with perhaps the individual date and month in Texas categories?

Null edit[edit]

Can somebody please do a Null edit on all files on Category:Pages with local camera coordinates and mismatching SDC coordinates. A lot of files remained in this category after SDC coordinates were corrected. Currently the category contains 21.556 files. Thanks. HenkvD (talk) 15:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HenkvD: Done: I cut it down to 9,574 files. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, it looks good.

Thank you. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are source categories usually added by a template. These shouldn't be split up by year. The subcategories should be deleted. Multichill (talk) 20:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Butko and MasterRus21thCentury: I undid the by year modifications to the templates which hadn't been undone already. Multichill (talk) 21:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have already contacted Butko, but his bot did not work. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill: If a flat list is important, then I propose to put file into both categories - into flat list category and into a category by year. For example, a file will have two categories Category:Mos.ru, 2024 and Category:Mos.ru (flat list). Source code of template will be:

[[Category:Mos.ru (flat list)|{{PAGENAME}}]]
{{#if: {{{year|}}}|[[Category:Mos.ru, {{{year|}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}

This will be more easy for image search and navigation. --Butko (talk) 08:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the venue to try to change a longer standing practice of not mixing topic categories/source categories and to not use templates to add topic categories. Because that actually makes Commons harder to navigate.
If the year is relevant, the file should be in a relevant category like in your example Category:June 2024 in Moscow.
This is not the right venue to discus the changing of such a long standing concept. Go to a broader venue like Commons:Village pump if you think it should be changed. I doubt it, but you'll never know.
Might be more useful to invest your time in structured data on Commons instead of this. Multichill (talk) 16:12, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've writen here because it was your action related to this topic. If "long standing concept" is exist, please give link to it. So I will write there --Butko (talk) 18:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Commons:Categories has some info, but the talk page isn't very visible. Multichill (talk) 19:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see in Commons:Categories any restrictions related to categorisation by source and by timing. Can you quote, please? --Butko (talk) 10:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bot to replace Faebot's potential copyvio finder...[edit]

[[1]]

There needs to be an effort made to replace the checks Faebot was undertaking, in the specfic:

  • checking inside the text of a PDF/DJU for a Copyright symbol, ro Copyright messaae.
  • Flagging up licensing inconsistencies such as UK (London, Glasgow) etc published works with a PD-US-Gov license.

Based on the existing work the bot had done, I've already found 3 potential copyvios that may have otherwise not been detected.
