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)

Finished one time actions:

  • Template usage corrections.

Rename of World War I to The Great War is causing failure of templates.

I have changed both the changes on this page back, both the World War I and World War II, so no red. Thanks

It also changes World War II to The Great WarI, which means WWII stops as well.

There is no World War I template. It should be The Great War.

I adjusted the coding so World War II will no longer be replaced by Great WarI

I'm totally unclear what to do with this edit: 20 Jul 2021 10:59: EditBot WikiTree edited the Biography for Jay Thaniel Richards (1879-1958). (Redirecting:World_War_I) Richards-11140

I don't know how to fix the box information that remains.

Trtnik-2 Aleš Trtnik
The correct template for WW1 is The Great War. EditBOT made the rename for you. You can see here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:The_Great_War examples on how to use the template.

... am a Golden and Golding researcher. This bot or whomever has combined data from at least three different yDNA-tested families.

++ John Golding of 1670-1743 has two male lines tested. They are R1b and are related to William Golding c1704-1782 and Elizabeth Foster c1704-1775. This is the line connected with the Ripleys.

++ Gaulden/Gauldings appear in Virginia about 1765. There is no known yDNA connection prior to that. They are R1b but not related to William Golding/Elizabeth Foster.

++ No one has a shred of evidence as to what happened to John Golding, son of the Rev William Golding of Eleuthra.

++ The Goldings of Caribbean that went to Long Island in the 1670s are yDNA type I1.

Which profile and edit seems to be a problem? Can you provide WikiTreeID, so I can look into it.

Beth (Brown) Golden
a year or so ago you graciously added stickers for John Nuthall John Nuthall (abt.1620-1668). I thought that I didn't move or change them while doing some recent updating. However, the 'code' is still showing in Edit mode but they are not showing up in Public or Private View.

The should be changed to Virginia. And categories to reflect his first residence in Northampton, Virginia need to be added.

Would you be able to fix them please? or tell me how to? Thanks so much! Beth

On a profile you provided, there is no sticker even in edit mode. Can you explain more on what you want or what do you understand as sticker.

Oh, well, hmmm.... I got confused between Category and Sticker! Here are the entries from Nuthall-5 Changes

15 Dec 2019 08:58: EditBot WikiTree edited the Biography for John Nuthall (abt.1620-1668).

(Renaming category: English Immigrants to Province of Maryland) [Thank EditBot for this]

and the text which is at the very top of his profile in Edit mode

I was thinking that these would show-up on his profile in Private/Public View in some form or fashion but they don't.

Thanks for any assistance!

Edit it, you deleted the category Roman Senators. What should the Roman Senators be listed under if not under Roman Senators. See Cibo-2

Trtnik-2 Aleš Trtnik
Edit comment says "Removing category: Roman Senators+Removed empty lines at beginning". It was designated to be deleted. I have no idea about what category should be used. Categorisation project might know more.

Category: Harris County, Texas, Cemeteries this has been BOT DELETED now where can I put him?

Crown Hill Cemetery, Pasadena, Harris County, Texas, USA Show Map Memorial ID 10331301

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/495917/crown-hill-cemetery

I do have a suggestion, maybe I didnt see it but if you could give a reason why you are deleting the cemetery, and inform us where to place the person in question.

You have deleted cemeteries in Polk county.

but this one is in a different township, Shady Grove Cemetery #2, Humansville, Polk County, Missouri, https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/31511/shady-grove-cemetery-%232 The 2 cemeteries are according to maps.com 16.2 miles apart. so I believe we need to make Shady Grove Cemetery #2, Humansville, Polk County, Missouri, a cemetery in our Global cemetery project. thank you and maps.com changes the "Shady Grove Cemetery, Aldrich, MO to Fair Play......

EditBot is changing category 'Bedminster, Bristol' to 'Bedminster, Somerset'. This is only correct for pre-1831 profiles
posted by Ros Haywood
Rassinot-1 Isabelle (Rassinot) Martin
England Project only accepts ONE category for each location, and they use a traditional county. You will have to see with them which this one should be, but my hunch is they won't want to use "Bedminster, Bristol" for profiles before 1831.

Dunaway-702 David Dunaway
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.

Grindle-179 Ronnie Grindle
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
