Authority control
I thought you might be interested to know about Bots/Requests for approval/KasparBot. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sweet Magioladitis, I didn't know T.seppelt was working on this! I had a bot reduce Category:VIAF different on Wikidata by resolving redirects. That seems to have cleared out about 9000 problems. If someone just kills all the links to 404's and deleted clusters in Category:VIAF different on Wikidata and Category:VIAF not on Wikidata than I guess there is a much more human number of articles left to clean by hand. T.seppelt, are you also planning to do the second part (adding Authority control to articles that could use it)? Multichill (talk) 22:27, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about it. Do you know a good pattern to identifier the best place for the template in the article? --T.seppelt (talk) 19:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * According to Template:Authority_control just above the Persondata. I would look for that template and put it right before it and as fallback put it right above the first category you hit. That shouldn't be too hard with two regexes. Multichill (talk) 22:40, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * This should be easy. I'll start a bot request in the upcoming days. --T.seppelt (talk) 08:57, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Great! Do you also plan to work on Category:VIAF different on Wikidata? Quite a few links to deleted viaf clusters and 404's. Multichill (talk) 10:10, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, whether there isn't already such a bot. It would be my next step. --T.seppelt (talk) 19:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Please have a look at Bots/Requests for approval/KasparBot 2. Best regards, --T.seppelt (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
