Function details: The bot goes through Category:Infobox person Wikidata using qid, and:
- checks that the
|qid=
value matches the QID of the article's matched Wikidata item - if so, delete the entire
|qid=
line, as in this edit - if they mismatch, add such articles to User:KiranBOT/List of mismatched QID for manual checking and resolution. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:01, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- I have already made some null/local saves, and tested the third step from above. The tests were good, and the third step's output can be seen at User:KiranBOT/List of mismatched QID. These wont be cosmetic edits. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:01, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
