{{notice|Here to inquire about why the bot tagged a page?

The bot finds articles to tag using a list of categories provided by the WikiProject. If you would like to see the categories list for a project, take a look at the project's section on the requests page: a link to the category list should be present.

If the bot tagged an article that clearly is not within a project's scope, feel free to remove the tag. If you notice it tagged an entire category erroneously, please leave a note on my talk page, or on the requests page in the project's section.}}

Tagging process

The bot tags articles based on a list of categories provided by the WikiProject. On request, it can also:

• Automatically assess articles (see below).
• Untag another WikiProject alongside the run (useful when projects merge or change name, for example).
• Look for articles in sub-categories, as well as the main categories.

Autoassessment process

The following autoassessments can be done on request for WikiProjects, either alongside the tagging of more articles, or on already tagged articles.

• The bot can assess articles with a {{tl|stub}} template on them as stubs. It will mark these with {{para|auto|yes}} for human review.
• The bot can assess articles below a certain length as stubs. It will mark these with {{para|auto|length}} for human review.
• The bot can assess the importance of an article based on the category it is in. It will mark these with {{para|autoi|true}} for human review.
• The bot can inherit ratings from other projects. It will mark inherited ratings with {{para|auto|inherit}} for human review.

:*Optionally, it can skip the marking for human review if the rating is an indisputable one (Disambig, List, FL, GA, or FA).

:*The inheriting can be done in three styles, shown in the table below.

::

class="wikitable"
!only one rating available !two or more available !auto-stub/inherit conflict
align="center" !liberal |{{tick}} if only a single rating is available |colspan=2|{{tick}} most frequent (highest when tied)
align="center" !default |{{tick}} if only a single rating is available |{{tick}} if they all agree |{{cross}} do not assess
align="center" !conservative |{{cross}} do not assess |{{tick}} if they all agree |{{cross}} do not assess
