This is a page for requesting work to be done by a bot. This is an appropriate place to simply put ideas for bots. However be aware of various tools available to all users which can be used to accomplish the work without the need for a bot:

Replace coodinates in file descriptions with {{Location}} template[edit]
Most files within Category:US National Archives series: Digital Photographs Relating to America's Byways have the exact location of the camera within their "|description=", such as "Location: Oregon (44.099° N 121.725° W)" on this file. It would be good if someone could convert this to use the standart {{Location}} template. I don't know how many files this affects exactly, but it are definitly multiple thousands. Further, many files have "Photo by XYZ" within the description, but the |author= parameter is empty, resulting in "Author: Unknown author or not provided" which could be fixed too.

There are many images listed on Commons:Files used on OpenStreetMap that lack coordinates, but have them on OSM. A bot could add {{Object location}} to file description pages.
This was previously suggested by another user to the maintainer of the lists, but they have other things on their plate. @Herzi Pinki and Bjh21: Enhancing999 (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- You could try User:Herzi Pinki/GeoTools to do this manually. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 11:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Funny. An estimate how much time that would take? Enhancing999 (talk) 11:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- You can write a bot yourself, find someone who will do it for you, do it manually, or keep it as it is. It takes less than a minute per image using my scripts (I have done 6 now in 4 minutes: [1]). Do you have an estimation how many images are still missing location info? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 20:34, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- The purpose of this page is to find a contributor who is willing to do it by bot. You might want to redact your comments accordingly.
- There are about 175 subpages. I check one, it had 1000 images with 60% without coordinates. Enhancing999 (talk) 21:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- You asked for an estimate. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 10:10, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Can you elaborate and explain on your other suggestions. I consider them off topic.
