Function details: The bots proposed purposes is to add plant conservation status data for plants using the {{ Speciesbox}} template and at a later date update with range maps of plants and add plants without a conservation status to . The modified fields in the template are status, status_system, and status_ref. The workflow involves using AWB to tag articles that do not have a conservation status, this is a supervised process done with AWB. Then using the included R code the conservation status of the provided list of plants is gathered and a csv file is produced with the text fields needed for the update. This includes a link to an external reference for the conservation status and range of the plant.
I am currently targeting only plants in California during this trial run and have already created a list of plants that do not have a conservation status. I have been running this process on my account with AWB completely supervised and have worked out the process. Here's an example article that shows my goals for this bot. [1] Abronia maritima: Difference between revisions. Although the bot is making changes automatically the data is checked beforehand to ensure that the propper status and links are working. A future goal of this bot is to also check the conservation status of plants and ensure they are updated, this is not a current feature of the bot but is one that can be added easily and would be important. Although the name of the bot has the words RangeMap in it this is a later goal and will not be a feature the bot will be doing at this time. Adding range maps to plant articles is an ongoing discussion in WikiProject Plants and needs more time and consensus before any steps are taken. After I have finished adding the conservation statuses to plants in California I will reevaluate and refine the process with the goal of moving on to plants in the United States.

I updated the function details to include two future uses for the proposed bot. Dr vulpes ( 💬 • 📝) 02:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply
