John Thompson (poet)
John Thompson (poet) was moved to John Thompson (Canadian poet) as the title was ambiguous with multiple other articles. The original title now redirects to the disambiguation page. Could the existing links to John Thompson (poet) please be changed to John Thompson (Canadian poet)? Thanks, Graham (talk) 01:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Reg. electors row addition in constituency articles.
The row "Registered electors" need to be added to Vav Assembly constituency so that it looks similar to Abdasa_Assembly_constituency.
 * here is an example edit Special:Diff/1110293677 of doing this on Vansda Assembly constituency. Need to insert a row of "reg. electors" in the middle of the template. The reg. electors row needs to be in the lower half of the table immediately after and before.
 * In the Category:Assembly constituencies of Gujarat There are hundreds of constituency pages that would require same manual edit to add the parameter.
 * After that the intention is to add the registered Voter data into that table row. The 2017 and 2022 tables can have the data from the Total voters column table at List_of_constituencies_of_the_Gujarat_Legislative_Assembly.

It would be great if all or some of this can be done using the tool, would save a lot of time. Manually adding the row and data, would be the last option. Also ping @MPGuy2824 --Venkat TL (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Brookfield Properties
I was encouraged to post here by User:Epicgenius. Brookfield Properties (my employer) was known as "Brookfield Office Properties" from 2011-2017, and as a result there are still many articles that refer to the company that way even though the company is now known only as "Brookfield Properties." Epicgenius showed me these search results showing instances of "Brookfield Office Properties" in articles, all of which should be changed to "Brookfield Properties" except for historical references and appearances of the term within references. Similarly, GGP Inc. was acquired by Brookfield in 2018, and was then known as "Brookfield Properties Retail Group" for a period of time after that. But now the retail group no longer exists as its own company, but only as a group within Brookfield Properties. So all instances of "Brookfield Properties Retail Group" currently appearing in articles (as shown in these search results) should be changed to "Brookfield Properties," except for historical references and appearances within references. Finally, the same goes for another old name, "Brookfield Properties Corporation" (search results here), though there are only a small handful of examples of this case that are not historical. I would be happy to assist whoever steps up here in identifying which instances are historical and thus should not be changed (in most cases it's obvious from context). Thank you!

 * Hi everyone. I see that my request may have demanded too much legwork on the part of the regular editors here, so I created a userspace draft with a simple list of all the articles that need to be fixed, at User:Claudiailagan/Brookfield Properties naming errors. (I already weeded out all the historical references to the three old names for Brookfield Properties, where no correction is necessary.) I would greatly appreciate someone helping carry out this task, or at least letting me know if further work is necessary on my part. Thank you, Claudiailagan (talk) 20:23, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Claudiailagan, I'll assist you here however rather than attempting to do this with AWB, pick off say a couple a day, manually. I see that you have been revising a few yourself.  Would you please strike-through any on your list page if already attended to.  Do you have a link to any commercial material/website that confirms business naming? Neils51 (talk) 10:26, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! There is nothing on the list page that I've already attended to. You can see on the Brookfield Properties website that the company is referred to today only as "Brookfield Properties." You can also see that consensus regarding the naming on Wikipedia has been established previously at Talk:Brookfield Properties and at Talk:GGP Inc..

Fixing mis-specified span tag color settings
I don't know if this is a bot request or an AWB request, but I thought I would start here. There are over 1,000 pages that use span tags with hex colors missing the # symbol. They look like, but they should look like   (note the # symbol). Some of these are due to bad edits by a regex I used to employ, but there are many others.

Is there anyone here willing to sweep through these articles and add the missing # symbols? It will result in editors' color preferences for text being displayed as intended. I have been able to fix these problems semi-automatically with code like:  but you may have a better regex. As far as I know, there are no valid color names expressed as words that contain six a–f characters in a row, so the above regex should be safe. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Of the search results, only two are in the article space. Some of the other results are actually part of a user signature, which I guess we are not going to edit (Talk:Internet_Watch_Foundation_and_Wikipedia signature of user Celarnor). The two articles can be edited manually. For the others, I am not sure. Considering they are not in the article space, should we leave them as they are? Vpab15 (talk) 16:43, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Some of them, possibly the majority, are the result of invalid conversion of font tags (without the #, which works) to span tags (which require the # to render a color) by myself and other editors cleaning up Linter errors. In those cases, it was the original intention of the editors to display the color, so fixing the span tag is the right thing to do. In cases where the span tags has always been like this, it was clearly the editor's intent to display a color, even if it didn't work right (or maybe it used to work?). I can go through and fix them myself if necessary, but I do not have access to AWB and cannot get it due to my OS, so I thought I would ask here first. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You are correct, there are no valid colors. I checked. I think it's supposed to rain in the morning, so I'll take a stab, I do agree with your point that it was how it was meant to be shown. Also, you mention OS. As a mac user, may I interest you in WP:JWB instead of AWB? Happy Editing-- IAm Chaos  02:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've had JWB on my to-take-a-look-at list for a while. I use AutoEd, which is good enough for most things, but it's not great for mass small edits because its workflow is a bit clunky. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I have been working on these slowly, and other editors have dealt with a chunk of them as well, but the upgrade to a new version of search has meant more regex timeouts and worse search results (see VPT for discussion).

De-linking circular redirects on stars and exoplanets
There are numerous articles where an exoplanet is a circular link to its host star, or vice versa. Due to the systematic naming conventions of exoplanet articles, nearly all cases can be de-linked by AWB with no false positives and at most a handful of false negatives. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 11:22, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Most star articles use a starbox begin template, and most exoplanet articles use infobox planet. Thus, we can use these templates as a proxy for articles about stars and exoplanets, respectively.
 * Exoplanet names consist of the host star appended with a lowercase Latin letter, starting with b for the first discovery around a star; there may or may not be an intermediate space. For example, the first planet discovered around 55 Cancri is 55 Cancri b. This naming convention is not used anywhere in the Solar System, so with infobox planet there should be no false-positive hits that are Solar System bodies.
 * In multiple star systems, an exoplanet's host star may be labeled by a capital letter; for example, 55 Cancri b may also be called 55 Cancri Ab, but like most multiple stars, 55 Cancri's article is about both A and B. Circumbinary planets like Kepler-16b are commonly referred to without the host stars' letters, but if they appear they would appear together in parentheses, in this case Kepler-16(AB)b.
 * A few stars have disambiguators that would need to be dropped, but the only star/planet pair I know where this would apply is Pollux (star)/Pollux b, both of which have standalone articles.
 * The links to be removed are planets which redirect back to the host star, or stars which redirect back to their planet, under the titles extrapolated from the article name using the above rules. Circular links caused by navigation boxes can be ignored; see Category:Exoplanet navigational boxes and Category:Constellation navigational boxes.
 * There should be zero false positives under the above assumptions except for other rare types of circular link, and the number of false negatives should be small enough that they can be remediated by hand.

Remove span lang=en dir=ltr from 113 articles
We discussed this on Discord and I can't think of a legitimiate reason for  to be in the wikicode. I think these should be mass removed. Here's a list of where they occur. cc If no one objects, let's remove them all using AWB. An example removal would be converting  to  .– Novem Linguae  (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2023 (UTC)


 * No objections here; it's probably just T116887. Since this is an English, left-to-right wiki, the span is just dead weight. Chlod <small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">(say hi!) 07:25, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * – Novem Linguae (talk) 07:42, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually I decided to pause because this may violate WP:COSMETICBOT. Do I need a BRFA to make these changes? – Novem Linguae (talk) 07:50, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You are not a bot, and this is a small-scale run. Just Do It. Primefac (talk) 14:12, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Novem Linguae: I suggest turning on AWB's general fixes and typo fixing if you haven't already, to improve the probability that your edit will make changes that are visible to the reader. GoingBatty (talk) 14:14, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There might be legitimate uses btw. For instance you could have an English part inside a German quote on the English wiki. Doubt those would be very common however. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 09:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. I did mainspace and draftspace. I think the others can be left alone. There's lots still on talk pages, some in userspace, and a few in other miscellaneous places. – Novem Linguae (talk) 01:54, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Spans for other languages and text directions
There are about 1,000 uses of  and 150 uses of. Should this feature of MediaWiki be removed on enwiki? It seems like it's people pressing buttons they shouldn't press rather than any intentional thing. SWinxy (talk) 20:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Unlike the span lang=en dir=ltr above, most of these non-en non-ltr ones appear to be correct usages. That is, they are marking text that is in other languages, distinguishing it from surrounding en ltr text.
 * However, I am not sure I understand the point of marking foreign language text with spans. Does this change anything visually for the reader? (I don't think it does.) Maybe it's a screen reader / MOS:ACCESS thing? (Seems more likely, anyone know for sure?) – Novem Linguae (talk) 20:56, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * See Template:Lang. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * We should probably change them to lang, then, even though they output identical HTML. SWinxy (talk) 21:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Infobox Replacement
Requesting the replacement of Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency with Infobox Indian constituency on usage pages. This replacement can be a drop-in as it doesn't need to change or replace any parameters. Additionally, it would be nice to add SLA in every replacement.

For example, the change may be as follows: to

I initially proposed this in Bot requests, but as it did not receive any response and it is a one-time task, I am relisting the proposal here.

The merger discussion can be found at: Templates for discussion/Log/2023 April 11 Prarambh20 (talk) 13:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If adding "type" makes the process more complex, then the replacement process can be done without the type, no problem. Thank you very much. Prarambh20 (talk) 13:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Prarambh20, I can do this.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1682863392127:WikipediaFTTCLNAutoWikiBrowser/Tasks" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  14:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Great, thank you for offering to do this! Prarambh20 (talk) 14:16, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * , the former is a redirect to the latter, so this should not be done. Add the type param if you want, but please do not just replace the templates. Primefac (talk) 14:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Primefac, I'm adding the type parameter while bypassing the redirect.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1682864582699:WikipediaFTTCLNAutoWikiBrowser/Tasks" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  14:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the clarification. Primefac (talk) 14:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why it won't be replaced. Prarambh20 (talk) 14:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it be better to present all the usage under one template? If it is redirected template, then what is the problem? Prarambh20 (talk) 14:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If it's against a policy then, that's fine, but besides that I don't see any reason. Prarambh20 (talk) 14:36, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Most of the pages are done, but there are also many pages where the edit remains. I tried to find the rest of those pages, see here..

Victoria (Australia) → Victoria (state)
A recent CFR has renamed categories specifying "Victoria (Australia)" to specify "Victoria (state)" instead. Some redlink categories remain in articles and other pages, for various reasons.

One that I have found suitable for fixing by AWB is which no longer exists but is populated, and  which has been moved to the new name but is not populated.

The AWB task required is to visit all pages in the first category and make edits which will move them to the second cat. Thanks in advance. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 17:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Mass draftification
Please move all articles listed at User:BilledMammal/Olympic_draftifications to draft space per consensus at Olympic Stub Draftification. The articles have already been prepared; all that needs to be done are the moves, but as that requires admin permissions to do through AWB I am not able to do so. BilledMammal (talk) 18:03, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * AWB only seems to let me move pages if I enter each new title separately and move the pages one-by-one, which isn't much faster than just doing it by hand. I think User:Ahecht/Scripts/massmove is more of what you're looking for (it does still need to be done by an admin since page movers are subject to a rate limit of 16 moves per minute). If that sounds good to you, I'm happy to do the honors (assuming nothing else crops up, of course). Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:01, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, I wasn't aware of that - strange, in that case, that the use of AWB for that purpose is limited to admins.

Fort Bragg renaming
As of today, Fort Bragg has been renamed to Fort Liberty. There seems to be a lot of pages with the old name in them, which could mean some pages would be missed if they were all updated manually. If someone could use AWB to update the name on these pages, I would greatly appreciative it. Thank you for your time and have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2023 (UTC)


 * It won't always make sense to rename to the new name. If the new name didn't exist at the time of a historic incident that references the place for example. MOS:PLACE says "A place should generally be referred to consistently by the same name as in the title of its article. An exception may be made when there is a widely accepted historical English name appropriate to the given context. In cases where such a historical name is used, it should be followed by the modern name in round brackets (parentheses)". Thus it will be context sensitive which name to use. When referring to the fort in a historical context, it would probably be as "Fort Bragg (Fort Liberty)". This only needs to be done on the first occurrence of Fort Bragg in an article. -- Green  C  00:55, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * We should wait for the RM on Fort Liberty to close before going ahead with this. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 14:21, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, the GOP is threatening to rename it to Bragg if they win the Presidency in 2024. Maybe we should let this cool a little while? --  Green  C  01:00, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Large-scale misuse of the PROD tag
The user incorrectly used the PROD tag on 50 redirects to the same target, Suikoden, with a copy-pasted rationale Insufficient notability for a fictional character. Also cannot find their name anywhere in the page it redirects to. I have initiated a new bulk RfD covering all of them at Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_15. It is requested that all the PROD tags be removed and RfD tags be added. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 08:43, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Replace category with template
Please replace with on the 558 pages currently listed at Category talk:Fully protected redirects.

As a bonus, there may be a few pages with an existing "R from" or similar template. In these cases it would be nice to wrap such templates within the Rcat shell. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * that would require an admin with AWB. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:04, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It looks like JJMC89 has done a subset. Btw  is redundant in a , per:  When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.  For example, UTC is showing duplicate paragraphs in the shell; it needs only  and not  73.93.5.246 (talk) 21:33, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You are right, thanks. I have edited UTC accordingly.
 * So, in cases where there is another "R from" or similar template, that only needs an Rcat shell wrapper, as that will then generate the protection category. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:41, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * An R cat shell on its own produces a message basically saying "please add a redirect category" and enters it into Category:Miscellaneous redirects, which is a maintenance category for redirects only using R cat shell. The template should never be used on its own. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  12:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Quick category cleanup
If someone could run the regex On all Wikipedia-namespace pages in Category:Wikipedia lists of recognized content, that would be great.
 * → Nothing

The category is now automatically added via transclusion. This will affect 292 pages. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:44, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * @Headbomb wouldn't this be a cosmetic edit? Frostly (talk) 20:35, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Technically yes, in some/most cases (~204), no in others  (~88). But it's something that's considered editor-hostile enough (see case c) to be worth fixing. I could take care of it by AWB, but I'm trying to avoid mindlessly mashing save 292 times over an hour. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:32, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Request: Move links from Daughter of the Bride to Family Video Diaries: Daughter of the Bride
This may be a small job – until recently Daughter of the Bride was a redirect to the 1997 short film article Family Video Diaries: Daughter of the Bride. However, I just moved the article on the 2023 film with that title to the base title. Could someone with AWB please check to see if there are any article links currently going to Daughter of the Bride that should be changed to Family Video Diaries: Daughter of the Bride? Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @IJBall: There are only 5 direct incoming links. I'm not sure which of these, need a link cleanup, so you might want to look at these once.

Unsupported parameter removal in 300+ category talk pages
A recent update to Template:WPMILHIST to use an updated version of WPBannerMeta has left 300+ category talk pages with the same unsupported parameter value: the parameter CAT is no longer supported or needed, since the template now knows it is on a category page. If someone could remove the pipe, "CAT", and the line break following, like this, I would appreciate it. The list of pages is here. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:42, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
