Moving of ref content
In sorting out a split I've managed to get some references out of line. If possible can the content of the ref tags from the second (false) one on Page:History of England (Macaulay) Vol 2.djvu/331 through to Page:History of England (Macaulay) Vol 2.djvu/361 be moved along by one? That way the second ref on the last page of this range will be filled in. I presume that working backwards is the best way to do this so that no text is lost. If it can't be done by a bot, let me know and I'll do it manually. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 06:00, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Delete The City of God and On Christian Doctrine
These works from WS:PD have too many pages for me to delete manually, and Special:Massdelete requests that it be used by users with bot flags. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 14:20, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Last chance to oppose, then I will delete.— Mpaa (talk) 22:01, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * as an administrator you can self-apply and remove a bot flag at Special:UserRights/Beleg Tâl. From the base url, you can also apply a autopatrolled to others whom you believe have earnt that right. — billinghurst  sDrewth  23:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * But "bot" is listed under "groups I cannot change", is there something more I need? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:45, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Before deleting, what should we do with pages that link these works?— Mpaa (talk) 20:54, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The works are being deleted as duplicates, so the top-levels will become redirects; they can be left alone. Links to sub-pages should probably be removed IMO if any exist. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 21:00, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Here they are.— Mpaa (talk) 22:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Fixed redirect. ✅--Mpaa (talk) 20:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Replace fl and fi ligatures
Index:Tom Swift in the Caves of Ice.djvu and Index:Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout.djvu had awful OCR, so I had to use the OCR on most of the pages. This means that fl and fi ligatures were created. I found many of them and corrected them back to proper text, but am unlikely to have found them all. Could a bot please go through and correct the rest? Words with the ligatures cause search problems. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Here too
or other able contributor: Same ligatures also riddled throughout Index:Oregon Historical Quarterly vol. 7.pdf. If it is recommended to replace them, can you please? Much thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 21:33, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Move proofread pages from one index to another
Index:How to Get Strong (1899).djvu is corrupted and had other problems prior to this. I have uploaded Index:How to Get Strong (1899).pdf as a replacement. Could all pages that have a status of 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the .djvu version please be transferred across to the .pdf version? I will look after the already existing transclusions once done. There is no need to retain redirects and I will junk the old file. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 09:31, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Index page links request
Page:Ante-Nicene Christian Library Vol 2.djvu/471 to /479 contain two indexes (and have been validated). In a similar fashion to the request for Volume 1 (Bot_requests/Archives/2014) could a bot please go through and change the bare page numbers to links?

The indexes contained in Page:Ante-Nicene Christian Library Vol 3.djvu/485 to /497 have also been validated and can therefore also have the page numbers converted. Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:58, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅, looks ok but pls check as this time was a bit trickier.— Mpaa (talk) 20:41, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Decrement chapter numbers
The chapters of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume II/City of God/Book I are off by one and need to be decremented, and the header nav links updated. Can a bot handle it? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 02:04, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Bulk move parts of The Decameron
Per WS:PD, can this work's subpages be moved as follows: intro through Novel 5 to subpages of The Decameron (Rigg), and novels 6 through 10 to subpages of The Decameron (Payne). —Beleg Tâl (talk) 12:58, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. Didn't know what to do with The Decameron/Book 1 and The Decameron/Proem, 1340s.— Mpaa (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Handled, thanks! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 20:20, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
