User:Ganeshbot/doc

Ganeshbot, (a bot run by User:Ganeshk) created city/town articles based on data provided by Census India 2001. It created thousands of Indian town articles, all of which are listed on the User:Ganeshbot/Created page.

The bot does not over-write articles that already exist. Instead, it created articles in the sandbox and listed them at User:Ganeshbot/Not created page. These have be merged into the article namespace.

The article merge has been completed!

Instructions

 * 1) Please DO NOT MOVE the sandbox article to the article space. Use Copy and Paste.
 * 2) After merging the information with the actual article, please strike out the city/town from User:Ganeshbot/Not created page by adding and tags.
 * 3) Uncat the sandbox article by adding {{tl| before the state-stub template name and a colon, [[:Category before the category. See example.
 * 4) Remove {{tl|Mergefromganeshbot}} from talk page (if you find it)

State-wise
If you wish to work on the list state-wise, use the respective category of the states. State category are listed as.


 * 1) The towns that need to be worked on would be listed as User:Ganeshbot/sandbox/.
 * 2) Add the parameter from=U like in
 * 3) After the merge and uncat is done per instructions above, the town on the sandbox would disappear from the category.
 * 4) See talk page.

Towns with same name
When the bot created sandbox articles for towns with same name, it padded a random number to the town name. Examples: Gudalur, Wadi. If these towns have a map, then it would most probably be incorrect. All the town articles will have same geo-coords. Need to check and fix the coords for each town in this case. Example: Gudalur
