Operator: Zhuyifei1999 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: From COM:BWR, mostly similar to Commons:Bots/Requests/YiFeiBot_(20), differences:

Operate on {{Authority control}} in subcategories of Category:Pages using authority control without Wikidata
Get the WikiData IDs from connected interlanguages links (articles only) in the category page, instead of from interwiki links in the creator template. Interlanguage link filtering from Commons:Bots/Requests/YiFeiBot_(22) is re-used here
Instead of using the multi-line template syntax of creator templates, this will use the minified one-line template syntax for added |Wikidata= parameter.
No reporting mismatch of authority IDs: I don't think anyone watch them anyways. Besides, {{Authority control}} has been made to report them automatically via categories.

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic unsupervised

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

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): 6 edits / min

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): N

Programming language(s): python: pywikibot

Can't the wikidata stuff be directly pulled by some magic? --Krd 10:19, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Magic? I haven't taught my bot magic-crafting; in fact, I don't know much magic here. Perhaps you can find a magician for me? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The test run looks good. The bot logic should be very simple, so I do not expect much misfiring. All the mismatches are reported in Category:Pages using authority control with parameters where I (I do not notice anybody else doing it) clean them by hand. As for pulling wikidata items by some magic. I can not think of a way to do it. The wikidata items might be already linked to the categories through Commons category (P373) but there is no way for us to detect it (that I know of). In the mean time our {{Authority control}} templates are much better off with more up-to-date Wikidata identifiers. and Wikidata can benefit from merging with Commons identifiers. Please approve. --Jarekt (talk) 13:05, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think will be good idea to change edit summary text to make clear that Wikidata ID is added to Template:Authority control call. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done 21 edits Special:Diff/199670971 had an unexpected space (fixed now) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 16:26, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:03, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
