This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots. However be aware of various tools available to all users which can be used to accomplish the work without the need for a bot:
  1. Gadget Cat-a-lot can be used for most category copying
  2. VisualFileChange tool can be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category, creating a mass-deletion-request, let you insert tags to the file-description-pages (even copy from exif/meta-data). You can also perform find and replace operations with or without JavaScript regular expressions (regexp). A common use case is: "I've changed my username". It's a web-tool and can be launched directly.
  3. Commons:AutoWikiBrowser can be used for large number of supervised and automatic edits
  4. Commons:Batch uploading page can be used to request mass image uploads
Please add {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} when request is resolved.

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day.



Match items in Category:Creator templates without Wikidata link[edit]

The category has a lot of template that can probably be matched to a Wikidata item. Take for example Creator:Alexander Varnek, it has a link to en:Alexander Varnek which connects to d:Q4103951. These links could be used to add the missing Wikidata links here. Multichill (talk) 18:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

@Zhuyifei1999:. See also d:Wikidata:WikiProject Structured Data for Commons/Data transfer, where User:Jarekt has put up some notes about how he attacked this last year. Please do add your own thoughts and contributions, so we can make the page into a really good how-to guide for Commons people who want to do things like this, for this and other templates. All best, Jheald (talk) 08:25, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I have time to do this, sorry. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:52, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Never mind, no problem. Jheald (talk) 11:44, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
