Commons:Bots/Work requests

This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots. However be aware of various tools available to all users which can be used to accomplish the work without the need for a bot:

Gadget Cat-a-lot can be used for most category adding, removing and moving
VisualFileChange tool can be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category, creating a mass-deletion-request, let you insert tags to the file-description-pages (even copy from exif/meta-data). You can also perform find and replace operations with or without JavaScript regular expressions (regexp). A common use case is: "I've changed my username". It's a web-tool and can be launched directly.
AutoWikiBrowser can be used for large number of supervised and automatic edits
Commons:Batch uploading page can be used to request mass image uploads

Please add {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} when request is resolved.

	SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved\|1=~~~~}} after 7 days.

Replace coodinates in file descriptions with {{Location}} template edit

Most files within Category:US National Archives series: Digital Photographs Relating to America's Byways have the exact location of the camera within their "|description=", such as "Location: Oregon (44.099° N 121.725° W)" on this file. It would be good if someone could convert this to use the standart {{Location}} template. I don't know how many files this affects exactly, but it are definitly multiple thousands. Further, many files have "Photo by XYZ" within the description, but the |author= parameter is empty, resulting in "Author: Unknown author or not provided" which could be fixed too.
