BotMultichill 5
Operator: Multichill

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): Python (pywikipedia)

Source code available: Simple script based on a sql query and pywikipedia

Function overview: Tag about 20.000 files with Nowcommons

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Tagging images with Nowcommons happens all the time, just not to all images. This bot tries to clean that up.

Edit period(s): One big run, later smaller runs to clean up again.

Estimated number of pages affected: 20.000 pages in the file namespace

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

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

Function details: Files get transfered to Commons all the time, unfortunately often users forget to tag the file here with {{subst:ncd}}. Current backlog is about 20.000 files. I want to run a bot to tag these files. The bot will skip images tagged with NoCommons. I already did a test run with some Navy images. See the recent (deleted?) contributions. multichill (talk) 22:08, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Discussion
Adding "NowCommons" to the relevant files would be a good help. It makes it much easyer to find the dupes. Multichill is very experienced and the task is rather simple so I see no reason not to say "Yes thank you". --MGA73 (talk) 19:21, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

 * BAGAssistanceNeeded He did an edit of 200 images I think. Check recent deleted contributions. :-) --MGA73 (talk) 10:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * D. Hey multi-chill I see that you have done quite a bit of images. Next time try and keep it to what you were approved to do. I assume your trial is complete now? Tim1357 (talk) 16:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Tim-1-3-5-7, I'm already approved for moving images to Commons. This request is about tagging 20.000 images with NowCommons. As MGA73 mentioned: Yes I did a test run on a bunch of Navy images, see the deleted contributions. multichill (talk) 17:12, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. Thats fine then. I cannot see deleted contributions, but from the ones that are live I think everything looks ok.
