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.

: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)

::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.

Emily Weisband -> Emily Weisband Introduce links now that she has an article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:26, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:Looks like about [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22Emily+Weisband%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 100 articles]. Primefac (talk) 15:17, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|TenPoundHammer}} {{done}} Links introduced to first occurrence of her in the articles, a good chunk of that 100 already had her linked already. Sophisticatedevening🍷^(talk) 19:12, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

:Looking at the WP:FINDLINK [https://edwardbetts.com/find_link/Emily_Weisband result] there's quite a few articles left that could have the wikilink added too. Nobody (talk) 09:00, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

It's recently come to my attention that many articles use {{tl|inflation}} but, rather than letting the inflation template figure out the year of the inflation data or using {{tl|inflation/year}}, they use the magic word {{CURRENTYEAR}}. This has two problems:

• Primarily, the inflation data is updated manuallly and the latest year in the inflation template for each country is not necessarily the current year (for example Template:Inflation/UK/dataset only goes up to 2023; also see the "end_year maximum" column of the "supported countries" table in the documentation for the {{tl|inflation}} template). Therefore, listing the current year causes inaccuracies.
• It may well make reuse of our content more difficult unnecessarily.

In general, a replacement string that should catch most of these expressed in plain English would be :"{{inflation|Index|...}} in {{CURRENTYEAR}}" to "{{inflation|Index|...}} in {{inflation/year/Index}}; the rest can be dealt with manually if needed. There are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hastemplate%3Ainflation+insource%3Acurrentyear&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 942 pages] that use {{tl|inflation}} and have "currentyear" in their source, too many for me to work on manually. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'll also leave a note at the inflation template's talk page. Graham87 (talk) 07:20, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

The template Template:Elections in Alabama footer has been condensed to easily appear on pages it is applied to. It should be applied to all pages with the Template:Elections in Alabama sidebar (usually linked as Template:Elections in Alabama). Template will appear in a small form at the bottom that will not hinder visibility and improve navigation as it contains more information than the sidebar. Would also allow the sidebar to be condensed to not include unneeded links Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 21:30, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Change articles containing the parameter "long" on :Category:Pages using infobox artifact with unknown parameters to "length". Thanks. RajanD100 (talk) 02:54, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{done}} manually. It was only 24 articles. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:10, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Sorry if this isn't feasible, but can articles in :Category:Days of the Coptic calendar be tagged for merge to their respective month article?
E.g. Thout 1, Thout 2, ... Thout 30 into Thout
Paopi 1, Paopi 2, ... Paopi 30 into Paopi etc. RajanD100 (talk) 03:42, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
