Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: this bot will carry out auxiliary tasks to the 2015 edition of Wiki Loves Earth in Spain, namely: (a) create categories associated to sites of community importance (SCI); (b) properly categorize said SCI categories (newly created and existing ones) on a provincial fashion; (c) insert {{LIC}} template with appropriate SCI code. Once the WLE 2015 contest is over and its outcomes properly processes, the bot will insert appropriate {{Speedydelete}} tags in empty categories.
Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic (all the editions will be reviewed afterwards).
Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One-time run.
Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): No more than 1,500 categories involved. Edit rate will be configured not to go beyond any threshold
Bot flag requested: (Y/N): I don't really know. I'd expect your advice here.
Programming language(s): Python, with the piwikibot tools.

- But may be there other way exists of working with categories for statistics (?) purposes instead of creating temporary categories? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Eugene, good question. The purpose of the categories is not statistics-related but having a place for categorizing every new picture. That way, no further (re-)categorization would be needed. I raised the question in the Village Pump and didn't got any opposition (see here). On the other hand, it's worthy to mention some additional issues: the bot won't only create new categories (it will mainly categorize existing ones (even if no new categories were created; the information has been already gathered and is available here); after creation, I'll carry out manual categorization of existing images in order to assign them a correct SCI-related category (that is, I'll do my best for filling categories as soon as possible); finally WLE-SpainBot will work also (and in a coordinated way) in wikidata in order to correctly link commons categories with wikidata items. Hope it clarifies the request a little bit. Best regards --Discasto talk | contr. | es.wiki analysis 18:01, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

If there are no objections, I think bot status should be granted. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:24, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
