Task/s: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.

Code: Github

Function details:

  • Get data from a CSV file of article's name in shi wiki and their equivalent in ar wiki. - This data is made manually by me.
  • For loop to work on each article separately - This is the main loop of the function that processes each article in turn.
  • Link the items and save - This is the main action that the function performs, which is to link the corresponding articles on the two wikis and save the changes.

if the data is totally manually curated then I don't think you need bot permission unless the volume is very large. I see only 161 rows in the CSV. We often ask people to run test edits on like 50 items. So this is only 3 times the size of a test edit. I don't object to the work but I don't think you need to bot flag unless you plan to do this in larger volume (in which case I would wonder how you are manually curating so much data).

@BrokenSegue Hello, I am planning to generate a larger volume of articles for Moroccan villages on Shi Wiki. To do this, I am translating the names of every village manually so that a bot can create all the necessary pages. As a result, I have a huge list of article titles in both Arabic and Tachelhit that I am trying to link in Wikidata. While I would prefer to have a bot flag to use the bot, I understand that it may not be necessary. My main concern is that the bot won't be blocked by an administrator after using it. --AyourAchtouk (talk) 04:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with granting bot flag BrokenSegue (talk) 05:42, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BrokenSegue Do you still need a 50 item test edits to grant me the bot flag ? --AyourAchtouk (talk) 15:34, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. But I can't grant the bot flag. I'm not a bureaucrat. BrokenSegue (talk) 18:28, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see the test edits. Ymblanter (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter I did a 30 item test, you can check it out --AyourAchtouk (talk) 01:06, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like an uncontroversial request to me, I will approve it in a couple of days provided no objections have been made in the meanwhile.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
