Task/s: Create new category items to link via properties such as category for ship name (P7782), category for the interior of the item (P7561) and others
Code: Example available on BitBucket
Function details: The code finds Commons categories that can be linked to using a category property, and creates a new category item for them, populating it with relevant information derived from the category, linking to it from the main topic item. For example, see the items linked through category for ship name (P7782) at MS Salamis Filoxenia (Q174963). I think this is similar to tasks I've been running already, so the bot has already created a number of items with this code, but out of caution I'm submitting this permission request. (@Ymblanter: your views as someone that's approved the past bot tasks would be appreciated). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:05, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- @MB-one: seems to be doing an initial creation. --- Jura 10:53, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jura1: We're doing different things - he's creating new ship items, linked to IMO categories, and this bot would create the ship name items. It's highly complementary, and I haven't found anywhere where we've conflicted yet. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:00, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
