and so on. Just a few hours ago I suggested to Thurstan that the "married in ...." equivalents would be a bot job.

Kind regards

 * I can't figure out how to do that with the bot. But I did create the missing 188 categories for the years 1 to 2008. I am going to try and figure out how to program the bot to create it. - AMK152 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Only 188; OK. But there will be over a thousand "Married in", I expect, if we go back to year 1, so it might be well worth puzzling over the programming, because there are likely to be other jobs that use very similar programming. PhloxBot was doing that sort of thing; can you dig into its subpages to get some clues? Or maybe put out a call for help on the Central Wikia mailing list - some very helpful people contribute to that.


 * Then there are the 10,000(?) surname categories. Can't their conversion, or at least the insertion of the new template, be programmed easily rather than being done by hand, and include the creation of each matching article page with its basic template and category (with "|*") so that new users don't waste too much time reinventing wheels?


 * Good luck! I continue to admire your energy. Robin Patterson 15:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
