Function overview: Remove instances of {{FFDC}} which reference files that are no longer being discussed at FfD, similar to FastilyBot 17, with new code.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): pywikibot

Source code available: will publish at github repo

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): special:permalink/1265443290#Replacing FastilyBot

Edit period(s): weekly

Estimated number of pages affected: around 2-3 per week

Namespace(s): needs to be discussed

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): currently yes, but that can be updated.

Function details: created new code for simplicity/posterity. When listing files at FfD, editors will sometimes add {{FFDC}} to the articles that link the listed files. When FfD discussions are closed, it's common for the closing editor to miss and/or forget to remove {{FFDC}}. This proposed bot task will simply find instances of {{FFDC}} that reference closed/non-existent FfD discussions and remove them. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

@Explicit: what namespace should I restrict the bot to? currently, the template has been transcluded on a few article talk pages, user talk, and drafts. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial (25 edits or 30 days, whichever happens first). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. While waiting for an answer to the above, please limit the bot to the Article namespace. Primefac (talk) 13:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

{{Operator assistance needed}} Any update? – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had made some edits in December end, most of them were as expected. But later I got caught up, I will work on it soon. —usernamekiran (talk) 11:07, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by operator. the program is working fine, but there are not many target pages. Once I get enough free time, I might update the code to post report in my user-space. Thank you guys for your patience. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
