Function overview: Remove {{Now Commons}} from file description pages which also translcude {{Keep local}}
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: In this GitHub repository, when it is written
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Suggested by @Explicit, here
Edit period(s): daily
Estimated number of pages affected: 5-20, daily
Namespace(s): File
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: As stated above. Additional context: editors (and transfer-to-Commons tools) may erroneously append {{Now Commons}} to the file description pages of transferred files despite the presence of {{Keep local}} (as a rule of thumb, files tagged with {{Keep local}} should not be deleted without an FfD nomination). This creates busywork for reviewing administrators, who must then manually remove such inappropriate usages of {{Now Commons}}. -FASTILY 09:53, 3 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

[edit ]- If the filename on Commons is different from that on Wikipedia, please copy the filename from the {{Now Commons }} template to the {{Keep local }} template so that the information isn't lost. --Stefan2 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks for the comment. To be clear, I'll be limiting the bot to files with the same name on Commons. IMO the situation you describe is out of scope for this BRFA, occurs rarely, and can just be fixed manually. -FASTILY 00:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Primefac (talk) 16:16, 3 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- Looks like there haven't been too many instances of mistagged files within the past week. Here are two instances where the bot performed fixes: 1, 2. Not sure if that's enough, but I can keep the trial going if more examples are needed. -FASTILY 04:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- Another example -FASTILY 23:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- Additional examples: these 7 contributions , this diff. @Primefac: is this sufficient or would you like more examples? -FASTILY 01:50, 24 November 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded }} Any thoughts on the 16 examples above? The usual suspects haven't transferred as many files lately, so there unfortunately are fewer examples to work off of. -FASTILY 11:30, 23 December 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Fastily: Approved. As per usual, if amendments to - or clarifications regarding - this approval are needed, please start a discussion on the talk page and ping. --TheSandDoctor Talk 22:37, 28 December 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
