Dodbot has been down for a long time. I think the only assessment bots are run
be either anomie, magioladitis and possibly going batty.
I would suggest manually verifying the subcats before assessing. Often time the
subcats arent intuitive.

Thanks Sarah,
Yes, they does seem to be a lot more of it lately. I also thought that
discussion board stuff would die down. They got their pound of flesh and now
they seem to want blood as well.
I pretty much stayed off the boards but I was drawn in by a "Hey-let's-move-on"
style opening post which just turned out to be a red herring.
Anyway, before all this kicked off I was looking at bots that do
autoassessments, in particular
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DodoBot/Requests
It works like this:
* Create a page called - Wikipedia:WikiProject Gender Studies/Categories
* On the page that just been created, list the sub-categories that are of
interest to the project, e.g. the way that the Toronto project has done here,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Toronto/Categories
* If the sub-categories have their own sub-categories, and you want to capture
all of them then add (Depth:Inf) or to the 'depth' of sub-category that you
want to go e.g. (Depth:2)
* You can also assign how important you want those articles in that
sub-category to be labelled, for example Category: Gender and entertainment
(Depth:Inf) (Importance:Mid)
- will result in all the articles in the category 'Gender and entertainment',
and all the articles in the sub-categories (and the sub-categories of the
sub-categories of 'Gender and entertainment' to infinity) being labelled 'mid
importance'.
Depth explained a bit better:
* Category:Gender and entertainment
* Category:Feminism and the arts - (depth level = 1)
* Category:Feminist films - (depth level = 2)
* Category:Studio Ghibli - (depth level = 3)
* Category:Studio Ghibli animated films - (depth level = 4)
* Category: Gender and entertainment (Depth:2) will include all the articles in
the categories - Gender and entertainment; Feminism and the arts; Feminist films
* Category: Gender and entertainment (Depth:3) will include all the articles in
the categories - Gender and entertainment; Feminism and the arts; Feminist
films AND Studio Ghibli
* Category: Gender and entertainment (Depth:Inf) will include all the articles
in the category - Gender and entertainment AND all the lower levels, including
any new sub-categories created for the Category:Studio Ghibli animated films or
lower, such as Category:Studio Ghibli animated films X (depth level = 5),
Category:Studio Ghibli animated films X1 (depth level = 6) ... etc. to an
infinite depth.
But before you can do any of that you have to get consensus from the project
participants on the categories that you want labelling Top, Mid, Low
importance. That's the tricky bit.
I don't mind setting up the page and creating a provisional list probably based
on existing assessments, but then it will have to go to discussion.

In answer to your other questions:
* Please explain why this is relevant to the gender gap, since you are sending
it out to everyone on the gender gap mailing list?
- Please explain why you think it isn't relevant, since the opening link in my
last post (and given again above) is to GGTF's talk page?
* [Explain] why a minor content dispute on enwiki is relevant to the Wikimedia
gender gap community as a whole?
- Because it it provides a telling snap-shop

Hi Marie, your post was interesting and on-topic. Please don't be discouraged
from letting us know about these issues. They have been happening a lot and
seem to be increasing.
