		The Original Barnstar
		Hi Formal, I know this is long overdue, but I wanted to make this my 10,000th edit. Thanks for your advice and help on and off wiki, being always there when I’m unsure about something, and for updating quotes every day then week. More broadly, for your work answering questions and mentoring new users on the Teahouse, the mentorship module, and through the adopt a user program. I probably would not have gotten this far without you. Thank you for being here :D Justiyaya 11:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Now THAT's a cool barnstar. Waited until the 10,000th edit and everything. Congrats FormalDude! And thanks for sticking around Justiyaya :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Very cool indeed. Thanks, Justiyaya! It has been a pleasure to work on the project with you. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:41, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello FormalDude. I marked this article as a copyright violation of the 2016 article from The Cut, and it has now been deleted. Kablammo (talk) 15:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from Qfaceae (19:03, 24 January 2023)

Hi there FormalDude,

Thanks for taking time out of your day and offering to help out. I usually end up editing Misplaced Pages pages that I stumble upon in my day to day life, with info that's out of date. For example, yesterday I was looking at the List of plants that are extinct in the wild page (https://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_plants_that_are_extinct_in_the_wild) and noticed that it hadn't been updated since 2016. After some wrangling I got the datasheet from IUCN, the original source, and found an additional 7 species classified as extinct in the wild.

My question is this... I can easily add seven species manually on this one page, and keep the formatting all the same, etc. But the template on the side has its own page and, of course, links to other similar pages with many more species- Endangered Species numbered 3,654 in 2016, and now over 10,000 endangered species have been identified. I want to update the template, but I realize this would change the template's data for the Endangered, extinct, etc pages. And I don't think it's sensible to manually enter tens of thousands of species that have been added since the page was edited in 2016.

All this to say that I went into this page trying to make a few small updates, and ended up realizing that a web of pages is significantly outdated, and I don't feel like it's a task meant for the hands of one human- are there scraping tools I'm missing, or anything similar, for getting this data onto Misplaced Pages en masse? Advice greatly welcomed.

Cheers,

Qfaceae --Qfaceae (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Qfaceae, good question! This isn't an area that I'm very experienced with, but I did some looking and it seems that there are tools like Beastie Bot that can be used to automate the creation of species lists. I'm not sure how to use it, but you could ask the bot's owner or at WikiProject Extinction or WikiProject Plants. I hope this gets you headed in the right direction! ––FormalDude (talk) 23:51, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello Qfaceae. Please feel free to update the page! Sorry, I have not been maintaining Beastie Bot and it would likely take significant work to get it going again. If the template with the pie-chart is a problem, you might find it easier to make a duplicate of it before editing it, or just remove it from the page entirely, as it's outdated anyway. Please don't treat it as set in stone. Cheers —Pengo 10:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hello, FormalDude! You might be interested in endorsing an essay in which creation I participated – WP:NOCONFED. Of course, this is just a suggestion, nothing more. Cheers! — Sundostund mppria 22:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
