Task/s:

Per the approved bot request at commons:Commons:Bots/Requests/AuntuBot, I am in the process of uploading approximately 50,000 issues of the Bangladesh Gazette to Wikimedia Commons. We need to a parent Wikidata item for each specific issue/volume to import and organize these files on Bengali Wikisource.

Note that AuntuBot has already been granted a bot flag on Wikimedia Commons for the file uploads.

I believe the items should be instances of version, edition or translation rather than of The Bangladesh Gazette AHIOH (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2026 (UTC)reply
