Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: supervised

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: Pywikipedia

Function overview: Update Wikipedia:Database reports/Polluted categories (2)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): 1 edit per run, run as needed

Estimated number of pages affected: 1

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Using PAWS and pywikibot, update Wikipedia:Database reports/Polluted categories (2). The update code doesn't work perfectly yet, so some of the category names are broken, but that doesn't pose a problem for Task 27 (which is the reason I created the database report) since it'll just skip the category when it has no members because it doesn't exist. I've tested it on the test wiki, and the current output is visible at Special:Permalink/892521503. I count less than 2 dozen broken category names.

Approved for trial (10 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: how many times do you want me to run it within those 10 days? Once a day? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You said it is 'run as needed' - so whatever you expect the normal run for this will end up being (keep it under 100 edits). — xaosflux ^Talk 03:41, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: okay, definitely. I expect to run it once every few days (assuming task 27 is approved, I'll run it twice, once before I want to run 27, and once afterwards to see what I may have missed). I've done the first edit if you want to take a look. Thanks so much, --DannyS712 (talk) 03:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. the issue with the category names is still there, but even with that bug it is still helpful, and the bug causes no harm. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 04:29, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: can you link to the edits (it wasn't just one was it?) — xaosflux ^Talk 22:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, looks fine. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:09, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. task approved. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:10, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
