Templateize Meetup in XXX YYY categories
I'd like to run this bot (using a slightly modified copy of the pywikipedia framework) to change the 672 Category:Meetup in XXX YYY categories that currently are just links to their parent category to use the Template:Meetup by location, which adds a link back to the graticule, and could do more later if someone wants to. Thoughts, support, objections? JesseW 01:45, 17 May 2012 (EDT)
- And, hearing no objections for a week, I'm going to start doing it now. JesseW 23:34, 21 May 2012 (EDT)
Inactive graticules
I believe 2012-05-21 50 -119 has the correct categories and such, but the bot still changed 50,-119 to inactive today. --Juventas 22:16, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
- The bot just showed me edits to the actual graticule page, not the existence of recent expeditions, so since 2012-05-21 50 -119 wasn't listed there, I mistakenly marked the graticule as inactive. I've fixed it now, thanks for alerting me! JesseW 22:29, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
- I think you'll find a lot of graticules are active even if the page for them is not. Perhaps this batch of changes should be reevaluated? --Juventas 23:49, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
- I can certainly work on implementing a check against the relevant Meetup in XXX YYY categories, and do a 2nd pass. I hope that if folks notice a graticule they are active in got mistakenly marked as inactive, they simply change it back. There's nothing magic or authoritative about the bot doing it.
