DoggoBot 9
Operator:

Time filed: 02:22, Friday, August 26, 2022 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB, query.

Function overview: Tag disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): N/A

Edit period(s): Continous

Estimated number of pages affected: ~53,405 first run

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: This bot would tag the talk pages of disambiguation pages with the WikiProject Disambiguation banner, WikiProject Disambiguation, when it is not already present. This helps with categorization and the operation of external tools like XTools; for example, on my list of pages created, it lists 7 disambiguation pages as "Unknown" because the tag is not present; this task would allow them to display properly.

Discussion

 * , doesn't this duplicate Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 34? Pinging for comment as well. Primefac (talk) 09:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Primefac - It looks the same as BattyBot's task, with one big exception.
 * @EricPupper - Template:WikiProject Disambiguation states "Please do not use this template solely to create talk pages that otherwise have no content." I noticed the first page on your query is Boarding, which has no talk page, so a talk page should not be created for this.  If you could update your query so it only lists existing talk pages, I could run my BattyBot task more often.  GoingBatty (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
