=== 10.3 Batch-apply the client's markings ===

Client returned the CSV with 468 of 637 rows marked <code><nowiki>Y</nowiki></code>/<code><nowiki>y</nowiki></code>, each with a filled-in reason. Rather than 468 separate SSH round-trips, wrote a one-off maintenance script (<code><nowiki>BatchMarkOutdated.php</nowiki></code>, dropped into <code><nowiki>/var/www/wiki/maintenance/</nowiki></code> alongside core scripts, run once, then deleted) that loads a JSON <code><nowiki>{title, reason}</nowiki></code> list built from the CSV and, for each page:

* resolves the title (namespace prefix already baked into the CSV's URL column from 10.2's query, so <code><nowiki>Category:</nowiki></code>/main-namespace handling is correct going in — no re-lookup needed),
* skips it if the text already contains <code><nowiki>{{Outdated</nowiki></code> (idempotent on re-run),
* prepends <code><nowiki>{{Outdated|reason=<csv reason>|date=2026-07}}</nowiki></code> and saves via <code><nowiki>WikiPage::newPageUpdater()</nowiki></code> / <code><nowiki>saveRevision()</nowiki></code> (the same underlying API <code><nowiki>edit.php</nowiki></code> itself calls, just invoked in-process for all 468 rows in one PHP bootstrap instead of 936 separate CLI invocations).

<pre>
<nowiki>
php maintenance/BatchMarkOutdated.php --file=/var/www/wiki/maintenance/outdated_batch.json --date=2026-07
# Done: 465, already-tagged: 3, missing: 0, failed: 0
# (3 "already-tagged" were a 3-row test slice run first to confirm the script before the full batch)
</nowiki>
</pre>

'''Verify''': spot-checked several pages via <code><nowiki>getText.php</nowiki></code> and live in-browser (computed style <code><nowiki>color: rgb(192, 57, 43)</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>font-weight: 700</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>font-size: 22px</nowiki></code> — matches Template:Outdated exactly); banner text includes each page's specific client-supplied reason and the flag date.
