Greek description of Italian communes

A bot seems to have set the el (Greek) description for Italian communes (municipalities) to ιταλική δήμος, which has a grammatical error (δήμος is masculine, but ιταλική is the feminine adjective). It's also a slightly odd construction. A good replacement would be: δήμος της Ιταλίας. I've fixed a few, but there are too many to fix manually. --Delirium (talk) 18:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

cant log in

I try to use AutoList2 and The Game, but I can not log in to WiDaR. I allways get errors:

first came generic messages from MediaWiki-Wiki, but now I get

{"key":"192d9eecf53f1fea....","secret":"dcf067a6812aec954....","oauth_callback_confirmed":"true"} without any further comment

The problem started some 20 hours ago and lasts ever since.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 18:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Bot can't do anything for the problem. It was due to phab:T78209 which is now fixed. --Stryn (talk) 12:51, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Property:P132

please remove P132 (P132) on every item. P132 will going to delete per this PFD. Thanks--DangSunM (talk) 03:20, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

also for P766 (P766) please,--DangSunM (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hold on DangSunM! The properties shouldn't be blindly deleted. P132 (P132) is used 193313 times and P766 (P766) is used 4337 times. The data should be moved to appropriate generic items (probably instance of (P31) for P132 (P132) and location (P276) for P766 (P766)) and when that is done, the old claim can be removed.

Also the properties should be updated to indicate that these are deprecated and a pointer to the correct property to use. Multichill (talk) 09:21, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Now all items with P132 (P132) have also instance of (P31). --ValterVB (talk) 10:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

For P766 (P766) is necessary to warn ru.wiki because is used in ru:Шаблон:Авиакатастрофа. --ValterVB (talk) 09:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Started my bot to remove P132 in case the exact value exists in P31. Amir (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Any Bot to Import Template Infobox?

Is there any bot / script which can import template / infobox from English Wikipedia page to other linked language page. I want import from English to Urdu..Ameen Akbar (talk) 17:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

On Wikidata we do not copy data from one wikipedia to another one. What we can do on Wikidata is to import data from enwiki and on urwiki you can display these data using the inclusion syntax. --Pasleim (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Q18608199

After this discussion, Q18608199 was deleted as non-notable, however, it is still linked from properties. Has anyone a bot which could replace the sources imported from Wikimedia project (P143): Q18608199 with reference URL (P854): [1]. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:59, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

 Doing… I've made a test edit, [2]. Is it okay? --JulesWinnfield-hu (talk) 19:20, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

it's okay --Pasleim (talk) 14:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia soft redirected categories

This AutoList link lists almost 9,000 items which are connected with a soft redirected category. Anyone able to write a script to reconnect/redirect or delete (ping Ladsgroup whose bot has deletion rights)? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:41, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

At first it seems a very easy task but it's not. take this for example: Category:YSCC Yokohama players (Q10081029): the sitelink in English Wikipedia is soft redirect but the Japanese one isn't and the target doesn't have item in English Wikipedia so the best solution for this case is to change the site link to "Category:YSCC Yokohama players". I will write the script tomorrow or the day after. Amir (talk) 14:54, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

I ran the bot. it fixed as much as it could and deleted lots of items. It finishes in two hours. Best. Amir (talk) 02:52, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

@Ladsgroup: Your bot reduced the number of those affected items by 66%, that's great! However, there are still items your bot could simply delete (like the first one – Q10006889). Matěj Suchánek (talk) 10:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

@Matěj Suchánek: I ran it again and just 700 cases left. It's because the API can't proceed merge in lots of cases. they should be done by hand Amir (talk) 06:39, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

NLI identifier (P949)

Can a bot please check the identifier National Library of Israel ID (old) (P949)? Some of the IDs are wrong, see Property talk:P949#Unstable numbers? I don't know if it is only a small or a large percentage. --Kolja21 (talk) 03:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Add data of birth / death to French people

I noticed that a lot of items about people (instance of (P31) -> human (Q5)) don't have date of birth (P569) and date of death (P570), but do have an article at the French Wikipedia (list of about 78.000 items). I already imported a lot of dates from the Dutch Wikipedia, but that was much more difficult. It looks like the French Wikipedia uses the template Date de naissance (date of birth) and Modèle:Date de décès (date of death). Could someone please harvest these templates? Probably best suitable for a French speaking bot operator. Multichill (talk) 21:31, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
