Function Overview: Per request in my talk page and discussion I had with User:Carlaude, I'll try to reorganise Christian saints and martyrs to their correct categories following instructions in User:Carlaude/Notes. The task it's easy just adds and removes categories using AWB's standard functions.
Edit period(s): One-time run
Already has a bot flag(Y/N):Y
Function Details: I'll do each part of the request separately. One run for each category.
All of the edits are putting pages in a more specific catagory-- century instead of just time period-- or Protestant martyrs instead of just martyrs etc. The source for the information is other catagories thay are already in.
The date information were gained from a bot searching the article pages for catagories on years, death dates, and people by century. The sorting by century-- instead of by period-- gives the page a more consistant catagorization (few errors) and lets the large catagories be not so large and more useful to creating information for the main pages. For example, nearly all 4th-century martyrs are from the Diocletian persecution.
Separating out out the martyrs into Protestant martyrs & Roman Catholic martyrs (begining in the 16th century) is important since they where then often martyrs at the hands of each other.
Approved for trial (5 edits from List A, 5 from C2, 5 from C3, and 5 from C4). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Let's just make sure it works. – Quadell(talk)20:32, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete. No problems. In fact instead of just adding categories into 5 of list C2 and removing category from 5 of list C4 I moved the category in 10 by working in the intersection to save edits. Check Special:Contributions/Yobot. (10 of C2-C4, 5 from of C3, of of A). -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
