Requesting input for a potential bot task

Hello. I was planning to run a file delinker service on Meta-Wiki, similar to what CommonsDelinker does but only for Meta-Wiki. The bot would delink files locally deleted by parsing the local deletion log. The bot would not remove local files that although locally deleted do exist with the same name at the shared repository (Commons) or whose deletion log has a note asking the bot not to delink (to be defined). The task would be carried out using the delinker.py Pywikibot script. An example delink can be found here. Since setting up this service would involve me setting up several things first, I'd be interested to know if there's any interest for this task beforehand. Thank you in advance for your input. Please let me know if you have any questions too. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:50, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio any idea what sort of backlog needs to be worked though? Seems like there would be rare ongoing work (a quick review of deletion log shows only about 2 or 3 actual files deleted in the last 4 months). — xaosflux ^Talk 13:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Xaosflux. Certainly the backlog in recent days is low as we still have pending a review of our local files to see if they can be either transferred to Commons or deleted for lacking appropriate source/licensing (a task which is long overdue IMHO). I've been doing that from time to time, and I've been thinking on resuming that task when the time allows, for which a bot task to take care of this would be helpful IMHO. For example, File:Henry8.jpg was deleted in 2005 and still remains as a link. I can run a dry-run test to see how many pages / files would be affected.

Addition to WM:CSD one more code

We routinely delete IP userpage, but there isn't a formal CSD code for it. I propose adding one under Misc "Pages that are created by non-registered users". The pages tend to be able to meet G1/G3 (at times)/ G7 / M1 etc but IMHO a clear code will be beneficial. Ideas? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:57, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
