January to April 2016

• 1 Ran User:Darqbot over the HoT armor sets do add status = hot with misc. minor corrections. -Darqam (talk) 15:52, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

• 1 added [[Category:Spirit Vale armor]] on all the armor pieces listed here: Spirit Vale armor -Darqbot (talk) 17:04, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

• changed 'skill challenge' to 'hero challenge' where applicable, and attempted to catch all the {{icon|skillyes}} (and no variant), to {{icon|heroyes}} (and no variant). I'm assuming I didn't catch everything, but this should be a good chunk of it. Pages with historical status, update note pages, and other such pages where the word 'skill' is applicable (from a historical perspective) was left alone.
  • About 350 pages edited (didn't keep track of the exact number). -Darqam (talk) 16:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
    • Did you randomise the order of pages you edited? (maybe sort the pages alphabetically or something before editing?) -Chieftain Alex 17:15, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
      • I simply went through the pages in the order the awb software found them. I can try to make it more ordered next time if that helps. I imagine that shouldn't be too hard. -Darqam (talk) 17:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
        • Yeah, select all pages found, right click, sort alphabetically (this option is at the bottom of the menu). -Chieftain Alex 17:31, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
          • Alright I will do that next time, apologies if those edits made things hard in some way. -Darqam (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
            • Uh guys, I just noticed and figured out a small problem with the changing the "skill" to "hero" in the "Event infobox" template...it's removing all of the events from "Category:Hero challenges" as apparently events only showed up if "| type = skill challenge"(not "| type = hero challenge") was in "Event infobox". =x - Do_odleplex 19:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
              • Fixed. Job queue needs to be processed before changes will be visible. -Chieftain Alex 20:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
                • Ran the bot again using different search parameters, caught another 54 edits (in alphabetical order this time). I don't know how else to look for pages at this point, so I think this task is done for my bot. -Darqam (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

• Ran Darqbot to change any links to Prison-Camp and [[Bandit Champions]] to link to Prison Camp Encounter. there were 14 edits made today (which altered those done prior incorrectly). There is unfortunately not a nice order to the pages since there was quite a bit of back and forth with me figuring out wording and proper way of naming things. -Darqam (talk) 15:56, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

• Updated links in Category:Stubs containing the keyword "NPC infobox" to have "stub|npc" instead of "stub", and "section-stub|npc" instead of "section-stub". Additionally all notices of "stub|npc" were placed above the infobox instead of anywhere on the page. Edits done: 722 (+ 5 to 10 edits before my program crashed). Note that I didn't do any work in checking if pages were still in fact stubs or not. -Darqam (talk) 20:34, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
  • An equivalent task was performed for "stub" -> "stub|event". 127 edits were made. -Darqam (talk) 21:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
    • Final task for today with "stub" -> "stub|location" for anything with an area infobox. 107 pages edited. -Darqam (talk) 21:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
      • I lied... Applied the same task for weapons, items, objects, effects, and skills. Edits done are 24, 110, 27, 29, and 10 respectively. -Darqam (talk) 01:43, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

• Updated links in Category: Articles with stub sections in order to classify them into appropriate sections (for example {{section-stub}} to {{section-stub|npc}}
  • events: 189 edits
  • items: 470 edits
  • NPCs: 634 edits
  • Locations: 118 edits
  • Interactive Objects: 45 edits
  • Personal Story: 51 edits
  • PVE (in this case all heart missions): 95 edits
  • Weapons: 19 edits
  • Living World: 12 edits
  • Skills: 2 edits
    • Total: 1635 edits
• Corrected a mis-categorization of living world into personal story section stubs (4 edits) -Darqam (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

May to August 2016

• Bypassed a few redirects
  • Orr->Ruins of Orr: 267 edits
  • Magus Falls -> Heart of Maguuma: 562 edits
    • I tried to catch most grammatical changes, but I most likely missed some
  • Gallow's Hang (object) -> Gallow's Hang (hero challenge): 11 edits (but many accidental blank edits)
  • Head Researcher Levvi -> Researcher Levvi: 10 edits
• Total edits: 850 by User:Darqbot -Darqam (talk) 20:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

September to December 2016

• Have a bot create a list of missing items by itemid(or chat link)

In light of what Alex said above. Would it be possible to have a bot go though the list of items by ItemID(Or chat Link) and find all the missing items by searching the itemID(or chat link). Then report back the itemID and the name of the item of the missing items. Then someone could go though the list and find the missing items(and items missing ids). With Heart of Thorns out there are a lot of new items in the game it would be nice to know what is missing. That is unless we don't want to document all the items in the game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anzenketh (talk • contribs) at 01:47, 6 November 2015‎ (UTC).

I've picked up a list of item ids from the item api and am now querying the wiki for pages that do and don't have pages (by hand, 500 at a time though). If I finish this I'll create a list of undocumented items. -Chieftain Alex 16:24, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, I've generated a list of item IDs not associated with any page in my sandbox in this revision. It is already out of date slightly because Greener has gone and added ids for the incorrectly ID'd items I found using the lookup. -Chieftain Alex 00:27, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

• Clean up NPC infobox and Object infobox location inputs to remove brackets.

Currently running this bot task. I'm thinking about converting all commas in the location parameter to use semi-colons, but that is for another day. -Chieftain Alex 16:24, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

NPC infobox: 9320 pages scanned, 848 pages edited. Bot missed some pages so I'm going through DPL printouts to find the oddly formatted ones. Will repeat for object infobox once done. -Chieftain Alex 19:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Removed bracket and br support for {{Infobox location}} since I finished the cleanup operation. -Chieftain Alex 00:27, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

• Remove the infobox parameter | collection = from equipment pages because it's the skin, not the item, that's part of the collection. Where necessary, I will then add it to the skin page (e.g. all skins in Ascended Accoutrement already had the collection parameter, it just wasn't enabled for display). —Dr Ishmael 15:19, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

My bad, I only added the collection parameter at mora's request and although I had added it to both the skin + item pages, you're probably right + it should be skin only. -Chieftain Alex 16:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

That's fine, I think it made sense to me at the time too. —Dr Ishmael 17:32, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Meh... looks like I'm going to be too busy to do any more with this today. And I remembered that I'd had a plan (of sorts...) to reverse the way we do this anyway: to have the collection page annotate which items/skins belong to it, then have the infoboxes query for that. Bleh. —Dr Ishmael 18:51, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Note: this task probably was not completed. -Chieftain Alex 21:18, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

• Delete and then restore the redirects appearing in "Property:Has game context" - they haven't been edited since SMW was fixed to not leave properties behind on redirect pages. -Chieftain Alex 21:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Done. 138 pages deleted/restored. -Chieftain Alex 21:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

• Request for a bot to go through replace icon links to files that are duplicates. Preferably weapon icons as there are a ton of those, and have them just use the "Iron" icon for weapons as most of the preview images is of the weapon's iron version. I already did the wood weapons before Greener said to ask for a bot before I kill the recent changes page heh. Also can bots do null edits, because if so that would really help killing duplicate images faster. - Do_odleplex 00:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

I missed this task sorry. I'd need a list of the files to retain before I can think about this. This might be a bit too complex to resolve with a bot because us template writers are a bunch of muppets and have made difficult templates. -Chieftain Alex 21:22, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

It's mostly weapon icons that have duplicates, like there might be "Iron Dagger.png", "Crude Dagger.png, and "Dagger Token.png" that are all the same. If's it's too tricky, no worries, I'll just do it manually, I don't mind. =) - Do_odleplex 00:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

0 I've said this before I think: given that the files stick around server side anyway, there is absolutely no benefit to removing duplicate files. I figure this is a waste of time + probably difficult to weed out the non-infobox icon using items. Plus those files aren't strictly even duplicates (as in, different file size so they don't apear as "duplicates" on the file page) and as such you wouldn't be able to even find the files with a robot. -Chieftain Alex 20:43, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Request to have the {{contained in}} template added to ascended armour and weapon pages. E.g. a change like this and like this would be lovely. G R E E N E R 18:48, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Add level 3 headers, and I'll be happy as well. —Ventriloquist 23:48, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

I missed this task too.

== Acquisition ==
=== Contained in ===
{{contained in}}

So we're going for something like the above, on all crafted (?) ascended weapons/armor pages? -Chieftain Alex 21:22, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Most of those pages use ==Recipe== which will need to be changed to a T3 title as well. I believe this would be a better example. G R E E N E R 22:11, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Began this task tonight, will pause midrun and resume tomorrow (20 hours). -Chieftain Alex 22:55, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Were the asc breathers supposed to get {{contained in}} too? Currently they're only crafted. -Chieftain Alex 23:48, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I forgot about those. I believe all breathers can be skipped. Haven't double checked that, but there will always be things which need to be cleaned up separately, a la Sunless weapons. 184.65.180.29 00:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

1 Complete. I ended up dropping the contained in template onto the breathers too. Who knows they might end up in a box. -Chieftain Alex 17:38, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Currently going through 2270 pages (ascended weapons, ascended armor, ascended weapon recipe sheets, ascended armor recipe sheets) and refreshing the interwiki links with page names ripped straight from the API. -Chieftain Alex 21:24, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

1 Complete. -Chieftain Alex 17:38, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Request to switch anything that's just {{screenshot}} to {{ArenaNet image|screenshot}}. There might not be a lot of these as I think something similar was run before. Also not sure how exactly you'd specify it, but adding ==Licensing== to images where it doesn't currently exist would be nice. - Do_odleplex 18:33, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Yep done this task before (first part with enforcing the template case). The second task I'll try afterwards on pages which didn't contain licensing (I'll skip them the first time). -Chieftain Alex 21:10, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

1 Done. >500 pages edited. --Chieftain Alex 21:40, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

• Changed the few remaining pages(pages with historical content were left alone) that still referred to certain hero points as skill points.
  • Total edits: 33 by User:J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 20:43, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Ran a search for anything with "Personal storyline involvement" and "Personal story involvement" and made the following changes:

• == Personal storyline/story involvement == to == Story involvement == (10 edits)/(11 edits)
• == Events == to == Event involvement == (2 edits)/(- edits)
• added spacing to headers (7 edits)/(5 edits)
• Fixed quotes formatting (3 edits)/(- edits)
• removed "| rank = normal" (3 edits)/(- edits)
• removed "| status = current " (- edits)/(1 edits)
• == Abilities == to == Combat abilities == (1 edits)/(1 edit)
• replaced & ndash ; to - (1 edit)/(2 edit)
• Changed "Related" to "See also" (1 edit)/(- edit)
• Dialogue formatting(not indenting): (- edits)/(3 edits)
• Switched link from one icon to another: 3 pages
• Total pages edited: 10/14

There are more pages with this search, but I wanted to start small as I don't have a bot tag yet. - Do_odleplex 03:02, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Continuing this, the slash equals the pages I did today. Also switched three icons links so a duplicate icon could be deleted. - Do_odleplex 22:09, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

• Removed unneeded summary section from image file pages, specifically those that had "st6" as the description. Total pages: 32/Total pages edited: 13 by User:J.A.R.V.I.S. (I didn't want to kill recent changes by doing all of them, will do the other half tomorrow) - Do_odleplex 00:58, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

• Uploaded 178 files via pywikibot, afterward edited (almost) all the files since the summary was not formatted properly. Further 59 edits were made to classify the icons into their proper categories. -Darqam 23:09, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

• Ran through all the files in Category:Screenshots‎ and added == Licensing == to any image that didn't already have it. Also fixed any header that had the typo "Liscensing" to "Licensing" as part of that of that run as it was rather large and took nearly 4 hours to complete. Total number of edits made by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 1,049. Note, I started this task under my own account and changed roughly an additional 400+, - Do_odleplex 03:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
• Same as above, had it go through Category:ArenaNet images. Total number of edits made by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 788 changes. - Do_odleplex 06:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
• Same as above, had it go through Category:ArenaNet custom images. Total number of edits made by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 5,620 changes. (Also dear word, that took at least 10 hours...my poor bot.) - Do_odleplex 03:04, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

• Earlier I asked Darqam to fix any redirects from Orr to Ruins of Orr. I was able to refine that a bit, and did a run to switch any thing in the Location section of an NPC's page from ;[[Ruins of Orr|Orr]] to ;[[Ruins of Orr]] to follow suit of other NPC pages that have the location as the latter. Total changes by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 82.
• Bypassed several other redirects, namely Animal Spirit to Animal (spirit), ie Bear Spirit to Bear (spirit) or Snow Leopard Spirit to Snow Leopard (spirit). Changes made: 126. - Do_odleplex 06:41, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

• Ran through NPCs with stubs and clarified them a bit in regards to location, drops, skills or dialogue for easier updating due to the section-stub template being updated to show reason on the page. Total edits: 605
• As per recent update to the NPC infobox, ran to find any NPC in the Pact and removed [[Category:Pact]] from the bottom of the page and added ", Pact" to the infobox. Total changes: 729
  • Ran through again and got rid of anything that got duplicated: 83 changed. - Do_odleplex 02:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

• Ran through anything that used Template:Recipe list by discipline and was using old header formatting(as per what I saw Vent do) and updated those headers to == Used in ==. Total changes by J.A.R.V.I.S.: 54. - Do_odleplex 01:26, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

• Renamed NPCs from "Critter" to "Ambient creature"(as that is what's used in game), and had the bot run to fix the links. Total changes: 168 - Do_odleplex 21:18, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Shared Model Project -> adding and moving

• Moved "Asuran Krewe Leader.jpg" to "Krewe Leader.jpg" (as "Asuran" is a little redudant, if you're in a Krewe, you're an asura), total page changes: 22
• "Outraged Professor.jpg" to "Asura female 1.jpg" total page changes: 8
  • Added/changed to NPC pages that used that model. Total changes: 21
• "Krewe Apprentice Blork.jpg" to "Asura female 2.jpg" total page changes: 6
  • Added/changed to NPC pages that used that model. Total changes: 15
• Moved "Rikkta.jpg" to "Asura female 1.jpg", added/changed to NPC pages that used that model. Total changes: 7 - Do_odleplex 23:08, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

• Just recording for sake of documentation I ran my robot through all the skill pages which had experienced changes in skill history due to skill balance updates/bug fixes etc. -Chieftain Alex 19:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

1 completed on skills with changes. -Chieftain Alex 19:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

• As per Guild_Wars_2_Wiki_talk:Event_formatting#Suggested_change, can a bot run through and move {{Event rewards}} to being above ==NPCs==? I really don't want to do it manually or kill the recent changes page doing this. =< - Do_odleplex 20:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

1 Completed on event pages without tables - so I think i missed two pages but annoyingly I closed the window before seeing which pages it skipped. I also ran some whitespace cleanup functions. -Chieftain Alex 19:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

• Request to remove "|rank = normal" / "|rank = Normal" and "| status = current" / "| status = Current" from NPC pages that have those in their infobox. Also if it could switch ==Abilities== and ==Events== to ==Combat abilities== and ==Event involvement== respectively that would be lovely. - Do_odleplex 22:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

0 Ran through NPC pages and changed ==Events== to ==Event involvement==: 640 changes - Do_odleplex 02:42, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

1 Ran through NPC pages and changed ==Abilities== headers only(left sub-headers alone) to ==Combat abilities==: 260 changes - Do_odleplex 01:49, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

• Add the Game updates/2016-10-18 skill updates to the /history pages. -Chieftain Alex 20:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

1 Done, apart from the skills which haven't had their pages updated. See Talk:Game updates/2016-10-18. -Chieftain Alex 20:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

• Create trait history pages, alike to skill history pages above. -Chieftain Alex 02:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

1 Complete. Created 433 pages. -Chieftain Alex 02:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

• Move all icons and gallery images for skins, such that the final titles reflect the skin names. This has been carried out for BLTC weapons first, but it is anticipated similar tasks will be required. --Chieftain Alex 02:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

1 Complete for BLTC, 1166 pages edited. --Chieftain Alex 02:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

• Repeat the above icon/gallery task for ascended weapons. -Chieftain Alex 02:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

1 Complete, ~500 pages edited. --Chieftain Alex 15:15, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

• Repeat the above task for any remaining files with the suffix "_Skin.jpg" or "_Skin.png". -Chieftain Alex 15:15, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

1 Work in progress, taking a very long time for me to figure out which pages get what fixes. -Chieftain Alex 15:15, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

1 I ran my bot through the Special:WantedFiles for any of the icons that became red links as a result of the above. Changed 64 pages. Also had it do Null Edits so the pages would refresh their links, and most, if not all, of the icon links should be fixed now. As Null Edits don't show up as regular edits, I didn't keep track how many things I changed, but probably 200 or more. If anything is left from the above move, it's only a small handful now. - Do_odleplex 23:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

January to April 2017

• Ran through and added NPCs to "Category:Story characters" that had story involvement but weren't in the category. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 266
• Ran through NPCs and changed some headers using old formatting, namely: Note -> Notes, Dialog and Dialogues -> Dialogue, Historical Location -> Historical location, See Also -> See also, Combat Abilites -> Combat abilities, Event Involvement -> Event involvement, Items Offered -> Items Offered. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 449
• Ran through the "Category:Story characters" and corrected headers from old formatting to follow the setup we are using for story characters. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 166 - Do_odleplex 20:11, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all NPCs(excluding some specific WvW NPCs due to being unsure if they dropped the loot or the bag they dropped did) that used the drops template, ie {{drops|stuff}} and updated them to the new "Drops table row" template. Unfortunately my computer decided it needed to restart without warning so I lost the exact number(the finished number says 264, so I'd assume it's really roughly 1064 but can't say that's it for sure), but it was roughly 1,000 edits or so by User:J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 01:27, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Ran through all NPCs and changed NPCs that used {{item icon|item}} for drops and updated to the new drops template. As of now, all NPCs(save for the few mentioned above) are using the new template for drops. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 23 - Do_odleplex 04:45, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all pages that used "Template:Item infobox" and changed any header that was "Recipes requiring X" to "Used in". Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: - 640 Do_odleplex 03:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all NPC pages and did indenting fixes on small dialogue sets of either 2 lines, 2 lines and a merchant line or 5 lines to reflect the indentation of the dialogue template in use. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 80 - Do_odleplex 04:52, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all objects and switched "area" to "location" and removed zone as it shows up by default under area(and doesn't work by itself). Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 688 - Do_odleplex 09:21, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all images in Category:Screenshots and changed {{screenshot}} to {{ArenaNet image|Screenshot}}. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 165
  • Of those, added Licensing header to those that needed it. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 155 - Do_odleplex 07:18, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through all NPCs and switched NPCs that had level 3 headers under "Combat abilities" ie, Abilities, Skills, Stolen skills, Effects or Behavior from level 3 header to semicolon(and apparently typo'd like a boss in that edit summary...derp). Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 115
• Ran through NPCs that had "Consume Ectoplasm" as a stolen skill to "Consume Plasma" which is the name of the actual stolen thief skill(the other is from a bundle). Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 57
• Ran through NPCs and changed "Related" to "See also". Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 34
• Ran through all pages linked to "Templage:Item infobox" and changed those that had "Recipe/Recipes" to "Acquisition" if that was their only source of acquisition. Total edits by User:J.A.R.V.I.S.: 1744. - Do_odleplex 08:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

September to December 2017

• As per Ventriloquist's talk page (since the rest of what was requested I had already done before or were small enough to fix myself) change Recipe list -> Used in and Recipes -> Used in.

1 Completed. 43 changes for the Receipe list to Used in and 42 to for Recipes to Used in for a total of 85 edits by J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 21:57, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

• Could a bot run through the Seraph and Thackeray recipe pages and under the Acquisition heading put a {{contained in}} template? The items in these three containers all appear to need the update: Seraph Weapon Recipe Book, Thackeray's Armor Recipe Book, Thackeray's Weapon Recipe Book. Thanks. G R E E N E R 22:05, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

1 I will do this. -Chieftain Alex 22:19, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Complete, 56 pages edited. -Chieftain Alex 22:27, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

• Change all rune page descriptions; 'armor' is not capitalized in the api, therefore the wiki shouldn't have it capitalized either:

Double-click to apply to a piece of Armor. → Double-click to apply to a piece of armor. —Ventriloquist 21:18, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

1 Done thanks for the prompt. -Chieftain Alex 19:24, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

• Could a bot go through Property:Is_part_of_collection and add {{collection nav}} to the bottom of each? Be aware that some pages like Ancient Emerald Orrian Spoon are listed multiple times because of their rarity variants. J.Tesla (talk) 19:15, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

I'd like to discuss the "collection nav" template first if that's alright, but I agree with the principle. Looks like the items with three occurences (e.g. ancient emerald orrian spoon) needs to have the collection parameter removed from the main infobox. -Chieftain Alex 20:18, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

What fun templates are, pages with only subobjects being collected need the first parameter specified. Still thinking, not forgotten! -Chieftain Alex 21:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

I can't figure out how to insert the nav above any category/interwiki links if they already exist. Anyone else want to do it? (list of pages still needing navs can be found here: User:AWB Alex/list, they all need {{collection nav}}, and that's it.) --Chieftain Alex 22:42, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

1 Done, 2700 pages edited. I've left any page with an existing nav alone (thus skipped 1389 pages). -Chieftain Alex 01:54, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

There was an unusual edit here. I'll see if i can find any more. J.Tesla (talk) 14:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Damn, I left the rule to remove blank infobox parameters active. It's pretty unusual to begin a parameter with a newline :( -Chieftain Alex 14:11, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

• Remove historical = y from every infobox. Replace with status = historical. -Chieftain Alex 21:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

1 Done - about 800 edits made. -Chieftain Alex 21:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• Add the "race" parameter to cultural armor pages using Template:Armor set infobox. Also fix the "source" parameter such that PvE is specified if not WvW or PvP.

1 Done. 45 racial pages edited, plus filled in the source on 184 pages. --Chieftain Alex 14:41, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

• Added Template:Armor gallery image to screenshots that were missing this template.

1 Done - 260 edits made. -Chieftain Alex 14:41, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

• Change | status = hot to | release = hot as the latter no longer works/things aren't being tagged as being HoT.

1 I think I went through everything, but it is possible something might have been missed, and with all the new stuff, some people might still be doing it out of habit, so will rerun when all the new stuff is done being added. Either way, 6757 pages edited by J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 23:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

• It'd be much appreciated if |collapsed=y could be added to the gathering tool pages using the {{Unlimited gathering tool nav}}. talk 17:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. The only page I left off was Gathering tool since I think that benefits from showing all of them there, otherwise the rest are now collapsed. Total of 32 pages edited by J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 18:09, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

• Moved cultural armor images to match the nameing convention of every other set documented. I messed up years ago and moved them incorrectly when I should not have. -AWB Alex 10:09, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. Corrected links from the quick links overview pages, the set pages (armor set infobox and gallery templates), and the cultural armor pages. I also edited {{armor gallery}} to remove subpage logic which no longer worked following page moves. -AWB Alex 10:09, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

• Add {{contained in}} to items within Canned Food Crate if necessary. -Chieftain Alex 10:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. 41 pages edited. Maybe I should figure out how to SMW annotate food/utility buffs. -Chieftain Alex 10:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

• Combined human and bot effort to add {{Nourishment}} to utility potions, and properly identify them as type = utility item in the item infobox too. -Chieftain Alex 20:17, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. 226 edits which included a second pass after the bot failed to fix the infobox parameter the first time. Also cleaned up whitespace between br tags. edit: Also the descriptions that miss the percentage sign off the descriptions are wrong, they're all present ingame. -Chieftain Alex 20:42, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

• I added | release = living world season 3 to the infoboxes of a few dozen Flashpoint articles, but I've realised that (a) this is a job for a bot and (b) the lws3 category would be better off split up into release subcategories. I've created the categories and tweaked the templates accordingly, but now I need a bot to go through my edits and replace "living world season 3" with "flashpoint". I'll manually fix anything the bot doesn't catch/gets wrong. --Idris (talk) 20:29, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
  • On second thought, this seems controversial enough that I'm going to run it past the community portal first. --Idris (talk) 00:13, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

• Last Sunday (16th July) I added an infobox parameter to {{item infobox}} called "material storage" which denotes the section of the vault a material is stored in. This affected 421 pages. This upcoming Tuesday (25 July) will probably see the addition of more materials to the material storage section of the bank, at which point I intend to add parameters to those pages too. Do we want the parameter visible to readers btw? (example: Agate Orb + press edit + look at the infobox text) -Chieftain Alex 17:48, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

• 1 Traveled over all raid categories for weapons and armors, as well as all ascended trinkets and asc backpieces searching for cases where stat selectible was ==\nThe following [[item nomen instead of ==\n* The following [[item nomen. Made the appropriate replacements. Total of 165 edits performed. -Darqam 18:38, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

• I need a bot to go through each stat and color variation of the Poly-luminescent Undulating Infusion (<COLOR>) (<STAT>) and add a "name=Poly-luminescent Undulating Infusion (<COLOR>)" parameter; same as the name, no stat. I swear I'm never going to be done with these things. SarielV 20:55, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. -Chieftain Alex 22:59, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

• I don't see where this bot edit was discussed so I am bringing it up here. JARVIS has apparently tagged a bunch of Champion pages with verification requests related to the Defiance change (when Anet added break bars). Some of these tags are being applied even when there is no specific claim in the article that the Champion even has Defiance, and is asking an open question (which would be more appropriate for e.g. [[Template:Research needed]]). As well, the Defiance article already explains what happened to the mechanic, so this is more of a maintenance request than anything else, to perform an update across a large set of pages. Given that only a small minority of enemies still use the original Defiance mechanic (as noted on Defiance) the workload being asked is perhaps backwards. I think the bot should just perform a mass removal of Defiance references from these pages and editors can manually revert/update where needed. But if the requests are to remain as is, I think they should be moved into their own maintenance category so as not to dilute actual verify requests for specific claims. 76.253.2.43 01:45, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

They were tagged as such because all champions do have some form of cc indicator, just what kind needs to be verified, so it was more suitable to ask for verification then any other maintenance tag. - Do_odleplex 02:14, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Virtually every page on the wiki has some kind of missing information that would be nice if included, but we don't tag all of them because of that. Specifically in regard to pages that have NO information about Defiance/breakbars you are asking for editors to generate original data, not to independently verify someone else's claim. As a whole, however, to individually vet ALL of these NPCs is more of a self-contained project that someone browsing the category is not looking to solve. Virtually all pages on the wiki can be tagged as missing some kind of information but that's not what a verify request is for; nobody I know of is making an active claim that these NPCs still have the Defiance ability. Removing those references in the worst case still makes the article correct by omission but in the vast majority of cases makes the wiki more correct than presently. If that's not still not convincing enough what exactly is the problem with putting these requests in their own category? Can you point me to the original discussion where this bot edit was approved? 76.253.2.43 04:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

• Ran through Sunspear weapons to add the nav. Removed one incorrect nav link in the process. -Darqam 22:24, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

• Add all dyes listed under Sub-Categories of Category Dyes_by_kit to Category Exclusive_dyes. If/when complete, please message me and I'll remove the manual entries I made if necessary. Quiznos (talk) 00:34, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

not sure how you prog the bots, but if you parse for "kit =" on the dye pages and then add category "Exclusive dyes" that should do the trick. Quiznos (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Assuming I've understood this request correctly, I think this is more easily done by adding one line to the dye infobox. I propose we change this request to remove any manually added Exclusive dye categories to finish off. (the category is now applied by the template instead). Luckily we only specify the kit parameter when the dye uniquely comes from one kit. -Chieftain Alex 07:46, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

0 Template edited instead.

• Amend recently uploaded profession-specific trait/skill icons with appropriate licensing. (mostly where my bot uploaded the fresh 128x128 skill or 64x64 trait icons on top of existing icons) -Chieftain Alex 09:58, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. 143 edits made. -Chieftain Alex 09:58, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

• Add ids to new skills from Path of Fire that were available through the API. -Chieftain Alex 20:02, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

1 Done. ~63 edits made. Shout-out to Noxx who noticed I'd broken some stuff with removing variables parameters when it was on a newline. -Chieftain Alex 20:02, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

December 2017 to January 2018

• Remove status = future and {{future content}} from any page using either release = pof or {{Path of Fire content}}. —Ventriloquist 19:59, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
  • 1 Done. Had it search for anything that was in Category:Future content and Category:Path of Fire content, so it is possible a few pages got skipped, but the majority should be good now. Total of 476 pages edited by J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 20:29, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

• Change any level 2 or 3 headers from "Contains" into "Contents". —Ventriloquist 11:23, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
  • 1 Done. Total of 138 pages edited by J.A.R.V.I.S. - Do_odleplex 20:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

• J.A.R.V.I.S. recently added {{temporary}} to some returning Halloween content (example), but it links to Shadow of the Mad King instead of Shadow of the Mad King 2012. I've already fixed a couple; could a bot do the rest? --Idris (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
  • 1 All 11 pages were edited. Additionally went through the entire list of things tagged that way, and changed 57 more, so in total 68 edits by J.A.R.V.I.S. The only ones not changed are the ones for the current release and the events that are "Give X y to summon a thing/create a feast" since they're part of the Lunatic Inquisition and so I'm not sure if they were from 2012 and nobody got around to adding them until 2013 or if they were new in 2013. - Do_odleplex 18:09, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
    • Found a 2012 edit adding one of the "give x to summon y" events. By the way, Inquisition is back as of 2017. --Idris (talk) 22:05, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
      • Ah, I should have looked at that page's history, good call there, so I'll go fix those up to. And yeah I'm aware it's back this year, I didn't have much time yesterday to do anything other than the non-Halloween dailies. - Do_odleplex 22:08, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

• Restore [[:File:Forum Icon Lore.png]]. It was recently added to {{Lore discrepancy}} but a bot hoovered it up a couple days later. --Idris (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Fixed. Not sure what the bot task you need is though. - Do_odleplex 01:56, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
    • The bot's deletion summary said to come here to ask for a restoration. :p --Idris (talk) 01:57, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
      • Probably to fix links if needed. Either or, fixed now. =) - Do_odleplex 02:03, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

• Undelete File:Statue of Abaddon concept art.jpg, as it is used on Abaddon. Btw, is this section for requesting that bots do stuff, or requesting that bot stuff gets undone? I was directed here by the summary on the file deletion. –Santax (talk · contribs) 16:18, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

• Another one: File:Kings and Gods.jpg, used on Six Human Gods. I'm a little concerned that User:AWB Alex might have deleted a bunch of orphaned concept art by mistake. –Santax (talk · contribs) 10:36, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Resurrected the two files. This page is for tasks that bots do, yes, but it can also be used for misc stuff like this. Keep posting if you find more. —Ventriloquist 10:50, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

• Undelete File:Viathan Veil.jpg, it's an useful piece of documentation for LW1.--Lon-ami (talk) 00:19, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Same for File:User Lon-ami Nightmare Krait.jpg. And yeah, I'm starting to be concerned with the bot making a mistake too.--Lon-ami (talk) 00:38, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
    • Both files restored. G R E E N E R 01:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
      • In reply to both Santax and Lonami; honestly the only mistake made here was that I neglected to update the orphaned list so it was 1-2 months out of date prior to processing it. The Viathan Vale file is still not linked from anywhere. If files are uploaded then take several years to become linked, I would argue they were probably not important anyway. It's up to editors to use what they upload. -Chieftain Alex 07:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
        • I have to disagree with you there. I don't know much about other kinds of image that get uploaded, but even if concept art isn't used on a page, it's still within the scope of this wiki. Concept art tells us about the design and development process, is often viewed by people browsing through categories, and can be hidden away in obscure corners of the internet. Keeping it around is absolutely necessary if we want to completely document GW2. –Santax (talk · contribs) 07:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
        • Agree with Santax, it's useful to have galleries, even if said pictures are not used anywhere outside the gallery. Official artwork and screenshots should be archived for historical purposes. I only noticed they were gone because I got a duplicate warning when uploading them.--Lon-ami (talk) 15:33, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
          • Concept art has always been exempt from the orphaned list, the file you requested above was GW1 concept art, easily retrievable at any time from GWW. If you haven't tagged the file correctly AND haven't used it, you're fair game for my robot. -Chieftain Alex 18:54, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Undelete [[:File:Adolescent Fire Wyvern.jpg]], I think i broke it - when moving the page to the new name (they changed Adolescent > Minor in one of the patches) this picture got marked as orphaned and deleted, and I just now noticed. Thanks Sime (talk) 02:22, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Done. G R E E N E R 05:47, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

• Undelete Category:Settlers.--Lon-ami (talk) 15:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
  • 0 This is not related to bot deletion. Bring it up on Doodle's talk page if you must. -Chieftain Alex 17:24, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
    • Woops, true. My bad.--Lon-ami (talk) 19:37, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
• Request by User:Tolkyria to unify the formatting of PvP Reward Track information on item pages, primarily relating to punctuation.
