The footer at Template:Elections in Alabama footer should be added to all articles that do not have it, and also have the similar Template:elections in Alabama sidebar, which may also be linked as Template:Elections in Alabama Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:44, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:Is there consensus to add this enormous new navbox to every article linked from it? 1884 Alabama gubernatorial election, for example, uses a more concise and limited navbox that people may want at that article. Also, some of the links in that big navbox, like 1916 United States House of Representatives elections in Alabama, are to redirects, where this navbox should not be installed (either on the redirect page or its target).

:The sidebar, meanwhile, is currently the subject of a TfD, so this request may be premature. You may want to pursue this task manually. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::I will wait for the result of the tfd, but there is no reason not to add it- on articles that already have a footer, it would simply show up as collapsed alongside it Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 20:45, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:::If this huge footer is added to 1986 Alabama Attorney General election and then the sidebar is deleted, the huge footer will be shown as expanded, not collapsed, causing the article to increase in length (measured by scrolling) by 100% to 150%, depending on your window width. Is there consensus to significantly change the appearance of articles in this way? If not, you can boldly add the footer yourself, but asking another editor to do it using AWB is probably not a good idea. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

::::@Jonesey95 the footer is now autocollapsed on all pages, and the discussion was closed as no consensus. The footer would still be helpful if the task could be done now Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 20:44, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

I recently closed an RM discussion that moved the article {{-r|Telus}} to Telus Communications, and I'd like to retarget the existing mainspace links to that article so that the primary title can potentially become a DAB or get usurped if desired. According to Special:WhatLinksHere, there are currently 391 mainspace links to {{-r|Telus}}; as far as I can tell, all of them should be suitable for retargeting. Would someone be able to help out with this? ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 19:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:Sure! {{doing}} ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 22:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{done}}! I actually ended up using the Move+ script to retarget the links, lol. ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 23:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Thank you! I'll have to check out Move+ for myself, lol. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:01, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Is it potentially appropriate to run AWB to create redirects in bulk? I have long lists of redirects I believe need to be created (and the lists are growing, growing, growing), so if there's any way that this could be appropriate, I'd like to discuss the details and see if it's workable and appropriate in this situation. Nyttend (talk) 21:44, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

:It is potentially appropriate. But I would suggest opening an RfC for any mass redirect creations. I have some experience being on the wrong side in this kind of situation, so my suggestion comes from a place of knowledge, not assumption. VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 22:58, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

This search: intitle:/in the NFL draft/ insource:/players in the \[\[National Football League Draft\|NFL Draft\]\]/ finds 58 pages where NFL Draft should be replaced by NFL draft. Easy. Dicklyon (talk) 16:15, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{doing}} VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 15:56, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

::And {{done}}. I also found four additional pages to fix by varying the capitalization of "draft". VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 16:08, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Thanks. There are lots more contexts where NFL Draft should be fixed, if you're interested in helping more with that. For example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22NFL+Draft%22+insource%3A%2F%5BIi%5Dn+the+%5B0-9%5D%2B+NFL+Draft%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1 the search "NFL Draft" insource:/[Ii]n the [0-9]+ NFL Draft/] finds nearly 1000 articles. Some of these are in citation titles, so you'd want to look into the question of consistent citation style before changing those; or just avoid them by checking manually or by doing some more clever regex hacking that I know how to do.

(Request moved to WP:BOTREQ, 18:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC) )

:@Zinnober9: Uhhh, you might want to consider posting at WP:BOTREQ as well/instead; 2950 is quite a large number of pages IMO ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 06:06, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

::AWB was talked about before determining the quantity of pages, so thought I was in the right place. Thanks for the input, have moved as suggested. Zinnober9 (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
