Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: See Special:PermaLink/384755073#Spam? - The bot will replace the description with the file's title without numbers and hyphens on 728 remaining files, and will replace Category:Crown moldings with Category:Uncategorized images of interiors of houses in all files that don't contain "moldings" in their title. The test run is already done (50 edits); please see [1]. The reason there are more than 50 edits is that I changed the bot's program and re-edited all previous pages edited by the bot, so please review the latest changes. Also, because there has been two edits on each page, it may cause some confusion - this won't happen in further edits, as the current program is stable.

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic (I will review some random edits in the end).

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): No more than 20-25 edits per minute based on my experience

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): N

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser (AWB)

Discussion

• If the test edits are somehow confusing and hard-to-review, I can run another test run with the new program. Ahmad^talk 22:29, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Ahmad252: Can you please make another test run of 50 edits so that we are only seeing the desired outcome? ~riley (talk) 22:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
• It'll be also reasonable to add language template. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• @~riley and EugeneZelenko: Thanks for the feedback and response. Both  done, please see [2]. I can also run it again on the first 50 edits to add {{En}}, if necessary. Ahmad^talk 21:41, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

  It'll be reasonable to replace special spaces with regular one. Spellcheck would not be excessive too. See [3] as example. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:15, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

  @EugeneZelenko: Space character is fixed now, see recent 10 edits. About the spellcheck, I'm afraid I can't do it, since the AutoWikiBrowser does not actually see the text I'm inserting as what the final result is. It can only see a module being invoked, and there is no typo in this module to fix. Sorry. Ahmad^talk 09:49, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  Looks OK for me, but may be bot could fix obvious cases like va, virginia, richmond? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  @EugeneZelenko: Unfortunately, it isn't possible. The thing is that bot doesn't know what text is being inserted. It just inserts a template. The main work is done by Mediawiki software, which gets the page title, then removes its numbers using Module:String, then replaces all "-"s with spaces, and then places the resulting text. However, the bot knows nothing of this whole process. Because of this, it's impossible to do it with just one run, as far as I know. Instead, I can run the bot two times; the first run fulfills the current task, and the second run is just a spell check (and the number of edited pages in the second run shouldn't be that high). If that's okay, I'm fine with it. Ahmad^talk 18:05, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  It will be reasonable to ask to fix spelling mistakes person who imported this batch. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:43, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

  I left Ser Amantio di Nicolao a message at their talk page. Ahmad^talk 07:38, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Seems reasonable. --Schlurcher (talk) 19:30, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
