Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): C#

Function Overview: Attempt to fill in the listas parameter on WPBiography templates (amended version of ListasBot 1).

Edit period(s): Continuous

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: This is an amended version of ListasBot 1. This version includes the ability, if all other methods of finding a value for listas fail, to pull the DEFAULTSORT value from the article page, if one is present.

Bot has already been running with this change in place for about the last 36-48 hours. I felt that this change would fall under the definition of "improve the operation of a particular task" in the bot policy, but after consulting with User:Jarry1250, I decided to put in another BRfA just to be safe.

:Nice of you to check. Looks fine to me. Anyone have a problem with this expansion to the bot's functionality? – Quadell ^(talk) 18:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
