  • Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BHGbot 4: When a portal has been deleted at MFD, remove or replace links to it which are generated by one of 4 templates: {{Portal}}, {{Portal bar}}, {{Portal-inline}}, {{Subject bar}}. Use the next-most specific portal if available, otherwise remove the link(s). In most cases I have flagged this at the MFD.
    This task is run whenever a portal is deleted.
    Note: authorisation for this task was revoked in January 2020,[1] at BHG's request[2].

Ancient tasks

[edit]

BHGbot was created in 2007 for a single purpose: to tag the talk pages of articles and categories with tags which identify the articles as being within the scope of a particular WikiProject. These tasks were discontinued in 2009.

However, BHGbot will only tag articles with the explicit consent of the WikiProject whose tags are being added, within the scope agreed on the talk page of that WikiProject.

BHGbot will not add an assessment value to the tags (either to the "class" or "importance" parameters) except for "class=category" for categories, and "class=stub" for articles in Category:Ireland stubs or its child categories. In all other cases, the result of BHGbot's work should tag articles as unassessed, to bring them to the attention of human assessors.
