Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: WP:AWB

Function overview: Make issue templates more specific

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Weekly

Estimated number of pages affected: 15,271 on first run for {{refimprove}}, 919 for {{primary sources}}

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Using AWB, the bot would do the following:

• Run against articles in {{refimprove}} and Category:Living people, changing {{refimprove}} to {{BLP sources}}
• Run against articles in {{primary sources}} and Category:Living people, changing {{primary sources}} to {{BLP primary sources}}

This would make the issue templates more specific, allowing for a range of benefits, such as prioritization for volunteers of which articles to work on (BLPs). General fixes will be enabled. Pinging GoingBatty, who originally had this listed as an idea on User:BattyBot

Discussion

• Fine in theory, but it makes me wonder why these templates aren't merged in the underlying code, with the output changing based on whether the BLP cat is present. It would make the template slightly easier to use, automatically changes when a living person deceases, and (during the initial merge run) helps a bit in ensuring BLPs are tagged with the BLP cat.
