Function overview: Add WikiProject banners to talk pages upon request
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bot requests#Adding WikiProject Music genres template to 1.6k genre articles
Edit period(s): Runs as requested
Estimated number of pages affected: 1,679 for this run
Namespace(s): Talk pages
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: This request is to add WikiProject banners to talk pages upon request. I already have experience in this area, having received approval for BattyBot 34 to add {{ WikiProject Disambiguation}}, and BattyBot 21 to add {{ WikiProject banner shell}}.
I will ask requestors to follow the rules at User:Yobot#WikiProject tagging. When adding the WikiProject banner, I will use the AWB module User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects to update existing WikiProject banners, which makes it easier to add {{ WikiProject banner shell}} as part of the AWB general fixes.
The first request would be to add the {{ WikiProject Music/Music genres task force}} template per the request at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Adding WikiProject Music genres template to 1.6k genre articles.
Thank you for your consideration. GoingBatty ( talk) 19:38, 30 July 2022 (UTC) reply
