Automatic or Manually assisted: Manually-assisted

Programming language(s): None, AWB

Source code available: If required, I can make the source code available in the form of AWB settings files.

Function overview: I am using AWB to inspect a lot of articles as part of WP:URBLP related checking. Hunting for articles that are missing/incorrect categories or WPBiography tags.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): There is a bot User:LivingBot that does similar tasks, but I've heard it's not working lately. Here I'm trying to find things that have previously been missed and thus the appropriate Category:Living people or similar is missing.

Edit period(s): Daily for a while until exhausted checked for BLP's.

Estimated number of pages affected: In some case the bot may add/remove Category:Living people, date of birth and age, birth/death year/unknown/missing category, living=yes/no. If that does result it will be manually-assisted.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):

Function details: I am using AWB to build a list of articles, it returns a partial list of a maximum 25000 articles. The categories I wish to check are found in Category:Biography_articles_by_quality and some of those surpass the 25000 limit. To go beyond 25000 one must use a bot account, hence I find myself filling in this request!
