ZackBot 9
Operator:

Time filed: 04:45, Monday, November 27, 2017 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Ruby

Source code available: User:ZackBot/taxon

Function overview:Removing TaxonIds in favor of Template:Taxobar.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_14

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 6,265

Namespace(s):Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: From the testing I've done so far, this information has all been added to wikidata so all that needs to be done is to remove the old template and insert the new. First step is to remove the template from the page. Then I check to see if the new template is already there. If it is, then I'm basically done. If not, insert the new template at the very bottom, just above the categories.

 * it looks like that one was has stalled... Would like to try to get mine working if that's ok? Since this is a one time thing and not a continuously running bot, I don't think it would be a problem to have both being tested at the same time... If that ones finishes the work before mine gets operational, at least I'll learn some stuff! :-) -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:03, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Please comment on whether you believe Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests is applicable to this bot task. ~ Rob 13 Talk 14:30, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * to be honest I don't really understand that... Seems like a bunch of rules for how to deal with Wikidata. Doesn't seem to play a role here. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:00, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * , this task was done manually and can probably be withdrawn/declined. Primefac (talk) 03:47, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Purely due to the above. Sorry for the long hold on this. ArbCom has been less than clear on what their motion means for BAG. ~ Rob 13 Talk 15:50, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
