This bot is run by alexandros. I've had a quick
glance over wikibot's edit
history and can only find one such "disambiguation" of [[black panther]]. (On
Ultra-Orthodox Judaism - which has been corrected.)
Strange none the less. Maybe the robot's equivalent to a freudian slip?
Ah, that explains it. As an explanation, please look at the userpage of
[[User:Robbot]], it shows the working of the bot (Wikibot is the same bot,
but with another operator) when doing disambiguation.
There is a link 'murder' on the [[black panther]] page, and
so the bot chooses it as one of the possible disambiguators.
To be exactly, when 'Black panther is disambiguated, the
disambiguation options are:
0 'Black Panther Party'
1 'British'
2 'Donald Neilson'
3 'Israeli'
4 'Jews'
5 'Sephardic'
6 'USA'
7 'Ultra-Orthodox Judaism
8 'black panther'
9 'jaguar'
10 'leopard'
11 'murderer'
12 'wikipedia:disambiguation'
Apparently, Alexandros must have chosen 11, which is not just a bad, but a ridiculous
choice to make in this case.
I checked some more, and the edit in question is among a list of four robot edits using
the same program (the disambiguation one), and the other three are incorrect as well. I
cannot see any evidence of the same program having been run for Wikibot before or after
(Kchishol1970 later corrected one of these to what it _should_ have been, I reverted the
other two being too lazy to actually correct). My guess is that Alexandros was kind of
testing out the program, which on itself is a good idea, but he should at least have
cleaned up after himself. It would have been even better to use the bot's option to
work on another language to do everything on
test.wikipedia.org.
I would advise Alexandros to not run solve_disambiguation.py or disamb_all.py anywhere but
on
test.wikipedia.org until he knows damn well how to use it.
