This is a request for a tool to help clean-up the long backlog of requests for photographs.
The situation
editThere are hundreds of thousands of image requests on talk pages of articles. Some sub-categories of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs contain more than a thousand requests and according to Image checker a large number of which have images. Image checker however cannot always provide an accurate report as there are many types of images that can be on a page. Before removing an {{Image Requested}} or equivalent template the article page needs to be visually checked. This manual checking of the article page then editing of the talk page takes some time.
Request
editA tool is needed that can go through a list of talk pages and remove image request templates or remove image-needed parameters from project templates while providing a visual display of the article page. The user of the tool has the ability to save or skip the edit.
Proposed solutions
edit- Tool similar to AutoWikiBrowser that displays the article page in panel of the talk page it is editing.
