Emijrpbot 6

Emijrpbot (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Operator: Emijrp (talk • contribs • logs)

Task/s:

Bot adds instance of (P31) human (Q5) and sex or gender (P21) to biographies. It also adds enwiki sitelink for new biographies of English Wikipedia.

If no item exists for the biography, bot creates it.

Code: github

Function details:

The bot follows these instructions:

1. It checks en:Special:Newpages periodically and finds new biographies
2. For every new biography, it checks if it is linked to Wikidata
   1. If it is linked, it checks if the human/gender properties in Wikidata are missing. If so, it adds them (example)
   2. If it isn't linked, it checks if there is a Wikidata item which its label is the same as enwp page title, and compares birth year in Wikidata with the biography birth category
      1. If the candidate item passes the checks, we assume it is the same person, and bot adds a sitelink for enwiki (example)
      2. Otherwise it creates a new item, and add human/gender and sitelink (example)

Bot only creates an item when the English Wikipedia page contains at least one category, one reference and one link from another article. That way it skips low quality pages that could be deleted. It also skips pages with tags for deletion. --Emijrp (talk) 17:38, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Duplicates

This seems to create duplicate items. There seems to be no check if there is already a person with the same name from another wiki. The bot operator doesn't seem to respond to problem reports on their userpage.
