List of bot actions

Permanent actions:

  • Deletion, renaming and merging of categories. For now it runs manually on a daily basis. More about this on Category:EditBOT.
  • Template redirects. For now it runs manually on a daily basis after import of templates dump. If one of the redirected template is used, profile is corrected to directly use the correct template. That makes template maintenance easier.
  • Categories corrections. For now it runs manually on a daily basis after import of categories dump. This reduces the creation of new duplicated categories.
    • Wanted categories are checked if there exists a category with same name and different case. If it does, all profiles, subcategories and links to it are corrected to use existing category.
    • Wanted categories are checked if there exists a category with same name but different separators placing. If it does, all profiles, subcategories and links to it are corrected to use existing category.
    • Wanted categories are checked if the category was already renamed by the bot. If it was, all profiles, subcategories and links to it are corrected to use renamed category.

Ongoing one time actions:

  • Deletion of empty misnamed categories
  • Correction of UTF errors in biography, that prevented display of biography on the profile. (6000 profiles, half corrected, others will be next week)

Editbot is renaming colonial census categories to "state census" categories, before states existed. Please see my G2G post:

EditBot is changing category 'Bedminster, Bristol' to 'Bedminster, Somerset'. This is only correct for pre-1831 profiles

Notwithstanding that the bot seems to have only edited the biographies of Vincent & Robert Hinchcliff via a note above the Biography title on the Edit pages (changes which do not show on the respective, public pages), and while the town of Cambria, as an addition, is a more precise and helpful locator for the Hinchcliffe Cemetary, the town name, Cambria, itself, is not a proper substitute for the county name, Williamson.

I don't think I need to initate an emergency s t o p on this bot, however, it does need to be adjusted on this particular database error (DBE 866) ... Please see changes made by EditBot on 09 January 2019 on WikiTree ID Thomas Williams, Jr.

EditBot did not corrected DBE 866 Duplicated <references /> tag, but says it did.

I corrected the profile and it's fine.

Thanks for your prompt attention in this matter.

Why was Rivercliff Cemetery in Mount Gilead, Ohio deleted? It's a real place and there are over 6,000 people buried in it.

Hello EditBot,

to apply to the rule for Pre-1700 profile "we do not use personal categories in pre-1700 profiles" I've created e.g. the category "Glasenapp Loose End" (and fixed the profiles by hand). Now you've changed everything back to the private category "Grindle-179 Loose End", breaking the rule in my name!

Please do not change category Montrose Cuthill. This is to show a difference between 2 family lines which has nothing to do with location BUT to seperate because records cannot prove they are related. So many people have fixed both families on other sites and you are now adding confusion which defies the purpose. The 2 separate lines are Montrose Cuthill and Inverkeilor Cuthill. If you bothered to read the category description you can tell they're different.

Removed the sto.p instruction. Aleš
