American Seashells deletions
More than 100 pages associated with Index:American Seashells (1954).djvu remain in the Page namespace following the deletion of the supporting file on Commons. (For history see commons:Commons:Deletion requests/American seashells (1954).) Does someone have a bot/script to delete pages beginning with "Page:American Seashells (1954).djvu/ . . ." --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:29, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Shift Roman-numeral volumes of Once a Week to Arabic numeral
Request moved from Scriptorium. Currently, the various wiki-pages for the eleven existing volumes of Once a Week have volume numbers partly specified in Arabic numerals and partly in Roman numerals. Could a bot please change any Roman-numeralled page names to Arabic numerals and correct all links? (But links should be piped to display the numerals as Roman.) Thanks.

 * Update - all sorted out. thanks for helping. Levana Taylor (talk) 02:37, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Move Shakespeare's sonnets to Shakespeare's Sonnets
Each of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets are on separate pages with titles of the form [ [Sonnet ## (Shakespeare)] ]. These sonnets were checked against an edition which has since been added as a scan, at Shakespeare's Sonnets. I would appreciate the assistance of a bot to move each of these sonnets from [ [Sonnet ## (Shakespeare)] ] to [ [Shakespeare's Sonnets/Sonnet ##] ]. (Note: a redirect should be left for navigation purposes.) Thanks! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:51, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * done.— Mpaa (talk) 16:05, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

could I request your bot to help move these again, this time to Shakespeare's Sonnets (1883)? There are too many subpages for an automatic move, and EncycloPetey is planning to add another edition with the same title. Thanks! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 17:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Remove work category from subpages of Castes and Tribes of Southern India
There are 2032 subpages in Category:Castes and Tribes of Southern India. I've explained to the editor that we don't do work categories here and have used the category contents to create TOC pages instead. Please remove the category from all the pages, then it can be deleted as empty. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:53, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Move Moby-Dick
Please move all pages of Moby-Dick to Moby-Dick (1851) US edition so that we can disambiguate the 1851 US edition from the 1851 UK edition, and from later editions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Repair broken header syntax
Could someone use a bot to repair the broken header syntax throughout Index:The Pilgrims Progress (1890).djvu? The central value should be italicized, but User:TE(æ)A,ea. has gone through and removed the closing quote marks from every header Also, the italicized text in the header should be THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, which may need to be corrected throughout as well. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:55, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Done.— Mpaa (talk) 19:42, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, but he's since created many new pages with the same problem. I've alerted him to the issue, but have had no response nor seen any corrections. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Repair page sequence
I asked this over in WS:S but was directed here, so apologies to anyone who's already seen this request. The pages titles of the letters listed at Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VIII/The Letters are currently out of joint with their contents because the bot that imported them assigned "Letter #" page titles to other material. I've done what I can without admin privileges. What remains: The pages titled Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VIII/The Letters/Letter 2 to …/Letter 317, inclusive, need to be decremented by 1. …/Letter 318 to …/Letter 327 need to be incremented by 2. …/Letter 328 to …/Letter 349 need to be incremented by 6. Ideally a bot could also replace the prev/next/section title info in the page headers appropriately. —Nizolan (talk) 23:21, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Bulk create empty pages
Would it be possible for someone to bulk-create pages 36-92 of Index:Morningeveninga00palmgoog.djvu? All are without text so I expect it will be easier to automate than to do it manually. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 17:26, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

A possible bot request
Can I "revert" and undo my edits of this history page to clean up the mess I made with the move of Index:Vol 1 History of Mexico by H H Bancroft.djvu? If not, is there a bot that can do the task? &#32;— Ineuw (talk) 23:09, 13 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I cleaned up manually as much as possible and I created this list of pages that need to me moved. &#32;— Ineuw (talk) 01:20, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Your moves are shown at Special:Log/move/Ineuw and the easiest way to undo a move is to use the revert link. The existing pages are


 * special:prefixindex/Page:Vol 1 History of Mexico by H H Bancroft.djvu
 * special:prefixindex/Page:History of Mexico (Bancroft)-Volume 1.djvu


 * and we are going to need to do page deletions to manage the existing redirects for those pages, and the list of existing pages isn't that long. I suggest that with 15 pages (the 2nd list) that they can be manually, individually moved, with use of overwrite trigger, rather than by bot. I don't know what your long list is representing, or from where you pulled it. — billinghurst  sDrewth  06:19, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * P.S. When I questioned your naming of main namespace works, it was solely the main namespace titles that I was questioning. What is presented in File:/Index:/Page: namespace is interesting and worthy of consideration at the time of creation, though not binding or overly problematic. Whereas the main namespace is a problem in my opinion when it starts with the word . I would generally recommend about NOT renaming in the Index:/Page: namespace, it is just ugly and only should be done on rare occasions and where absolutely essential. — billinghurst  sDrewth  06:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice. The list of page titles was extracted using the quarry. The additional 15 pages will be managed manually. I had to replace the original Volume 1 on the commons because that copy was a republication (1886) of the original under a different title. &#32;— Ineuw (talk) 07:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

❌ to be manually processed. — billinghurst  sDrewth  11:41, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why is it marked not to be done?? I can't change 800~ manually.&#32;— Ineuw (talk) 20:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Because as I explained there are fifteen, and you agreed to do them manually as there were redirects in the way. Again here is the link that shows the pages that exist and needed to be shifted &hellip; special:prefixindex/Page:History of Mexico (Bancroft)-Volume 1.djvu. Your reliance on a query from quarry, is not supported by the looking at the real situation (I have converted your sandbox page to links to demonstrate this.) — billinghurst  sDrewth  21:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Now commons:File:Vol_1_History_of_Mexico_by_H_H_Bancroft.djvu redirects to commons:File:History of Mexico (Bancroft)-Volume 1.djvu, so it either needs to be moved back at commons, or move forward here.Mpaa (talk) 21:26, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This section was archived on a request by: — billinghurst  sDrewth  21:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have returned it at Commons. I don't see that it is a desired practice to move Index:/Page: namespace pages, especially not when they have been transcluded. It is just asking to break transclusions, have gaps, and creates administrative burden for no good purpose. — billinghurst  sDrewth  22:19, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Template swap in one work
Please could someone have bot change all instances of frac to sfrac, in all of the extant pages of Index:Aerial Flight - Volume 1 - Aerodynamics - Frederick Lanchester - 1906.djvu?
