Task/s: Moving Commons sitelinks between items.
Code: Not yet written.
Function details: There are quite a few items like Category:Guatemalan actors (Q8501758) and Category:Italian stage actors (Q7077106) which have been linked to the wrong Commons categories, apparently because they had matching names to Wikipedia categories. However, the Commons categories in each case are for male actors, and should be linked to the equivalent male category items, in these cases Category:Guatemalan male actors (Q23746823) and Category:Italian male stage actors (Q15265365). I guess the number of such items is only in the hundreds. Quickstatements doesn't support the removal of sitelinks. --Ghouston (talk) 10:25, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
- It is questionable you'll need a bot-flag for this low number task. Lymantria (talk) 06:31, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I figure a big test run will do it. Do I have permission for that? Ghouston (talk) 08:48, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
- For a number of edits in the hundreds performed at a moderate pace I don't see the need for a bot flag. It is close to what users do by using tools like widar. Lymantria (talk) 14:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- I guess I'll write the script and process a few. People can then point out any problems they see with it before I do the rest. Ghouston (talk) 23:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

- I ran a few test edits: Special:Contributions/BotAdventures. The last pair, for Australia and Russia, are how I want it to look. Ghouston (talk) 09:24, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- It will also need to delete the P373 statements, if any, from the old item. Ghouston (talk) 09:36, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
If I'm reading Wikidata:Bots correctly, once I've placed this request I can make a test run of up to 250 edits, so I'll do that soon. Ghouston (talk) 01:51, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- About reached the limit. Done the subcategories, like "television actors", but still have the plain "actors" categories to go (less than 150 categories, with usually 3 edits per category that needs changing.) Ghouston (talk) 12:19, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
