Dexbot 13 edit

Dexbot (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Operator: Ladsgroup (talk • contribs • logs)

Task/s: Deleting items that used to have a sitelink that is deleted (and removed now) and don't have any claims or backlinks in to any items or properties.

Code: here

Function details: Lots of admin work is deleting non-notable items that had an item for a brief moment because someone created their items in wikipedia and it got deleted. To be sure it doesn't delete anything that satisfies WD:N. It only deletes items that don't have any statements or backlinks to any other item or property and no sitelink either. I have deleted some as an example that you can find in here --Amir (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment Would you include the item's label in the edit summary? (This is now standard for manual deletions by admins and it would be odd if it wasn't present when done by bot) --- Jura 11:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support; regarding the label, I agree that it would be better reporting at least one label (if there is only one, if there are more I don't know which would be the best way to choose which one). --Epìdosis 14:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jura1, Epìdosis: Done. Does this look good? Amir (talk) 17:18, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes in my opinion! --Epìdosis 20:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agree. Maybe the rest of the summary could be shorter. How does it determine that there no sitelinks, backlinks, statements? --- Jura 10:43, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You should also check whether the item is used (subscribed) in wikis other than Wikidata.--GZWDer (talk) 19:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wanted to but it seems virtually all of these subscriptions are stale and useless. For example [1] Amir (talk) 22:56, 11 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I will approve this request in a couple of days, unless objections will be raised. Lymantria (talk) 08:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It would be good to have an answer to the open question. --- Jura 08:39, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I somehow missed your question: It loads the item and checks for sitelinks and statements and etc before deleting. The only thing is that it ignores P31 because it doesn't bring any value on its own. Amir (talk) 13:12, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
