Operator: {{botop|William Avery}}

Time filed: 20:04, Sunday, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Javascript (Node.js)

Source code available: https://bitbucket.org/WilliamAvery/willsnodebot/src

Function overview: Move all pages for mollusc taxa that have a year of description to the appropriate year category under :Category:Molluscs_by_century_of_formal_description. Many are currently directly under the "Animals described in..." categories. Move gastropod taxa to subcategories of the molluscs-by-year-of-description categories, with names beginning "Gastropods described in". None of the gastropod-by-year-of-description categories have been set up yet, as far as I know.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): A series of one-time runs, tackling one year of description at a time

Estimated number of pages affected: 30 thousand. See for instance :Category:Stub-Class_Gastropods_articles

Namespace(s): Mainspace/articles

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details:

For non-gastropod molluscs currently placed in animal categories

:Regular expression "(\\[\\[\\s*Category\\:\\s*)(Animals)(\\s*described\\s*in\\s*\\d\\d\\d\\d\\s*\\|?[^\\]]*\\]\\])"

:Substitution string "$1Molluscs$3"

For gastropod molluscs currently placed in animal or mollusc categories

:Regular expression "(\\[\\[\\s*Category\\:\\s*)(Animals|Molluscs)(\\s*described\\s*in\\s*\\d\\d\\d\\d\\s*\\|?[^\\]]*\\]\\])"

:Substitution string "$1Gastropods$3"

Candidate pages for each kind of update can be generated from PetScan queries. e.g. for year 1880

::Thank you for allowing me to run this germ of a tool at an early stage. The PetScan queries correctly selected candidate pages. The changes to categorisation of the pages were as specified. I have noticed a slight problem with the link in the edit summaries intended to take users to this page, in that I mistakenly used "WP:BRFA#William_Avery_Bot", when it should be to "WP:Bots/Requests for approval/William Avery Bot". I have corrected this error. [https://bitbucket.org/WilliamAvery/willsnodebot/commits/bd7e703cf1ac0c8a777c809a1a8a5bd05394a2ac diff] William Avery (talk) 15:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

::Checking back later, I noticed that :Category:Gastropods described in 1880 was now one snail short of the 25 previously present. I have invited comment at User talk:Simuliid#Your edit to Hydrobia glyca. William Avery (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Anything further required? I'm not getting any younger :-)
