Operator: [[Sam Korn]] ^(smoddy)

Automatic or Manually Assisted:

Programming Language(s): PHP, using Pillar

Function Overview: WikiProject article-assessment

Edit period(s): As needed

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: Automatically fill in article ratings in WikiProject banners taking information from, in order:

• Are there existing ratings we can copy? If so, use the highest one.
• Is the article a redirect?
• Is the article in any stub categories?
• Is the article in Category:All disambiguation pages?

The task currently in mind is this request, but I am going to ask for approval for doing this with any WikiProject banner upon request, as it's a standard and fairly simple task.

Code available here. Thanks to Anomie for his suggestion re disambiguations.

Discussion

A few comments on the code:

• You convert the values gotten from the other templates to lowercase, so in_array("FA", $classes) and the like won't ever match.
• It looks like you'll only process the first 500 articles in the category, as you don't even get the $continue from get_categorymembers.
