[edit] Mgmbot

tasks • contribs • count • sul • logs • page moves • block user • block log • flag log • flag bot

Operator: Mgm|(talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, supervised

Programming Language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Function Summary:

  • Rename {{Architecture}} to {{WikiProject Architecture}} to cleanup a renaming in line with other project templates and to ensure the old name isn't mistakenly used again so it's open to be used as a navigational template. This means doing over 8000 edits in total. I've done a test run on AWB with my regular account, but manual confirmation for this task is not feasible.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Multiple runs until task is finished (no longer than 4 hours each).

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No.

Function Details:

  • Create list from Whattranscludes here on Template:Architecture
  • Use search and replace and replaces "{{Architecture" with "{{WikiProject Architecture" on all relevant talk pages.
  • Tagged as minor edit.
  • Edit summary: "Bot-assisted template renaming".

[edit] Discussion

Approved for trial (20 edits). Lets get a fair look of what it actually does first. Please request for AWB approval and get things running; don't forget to post back here when trial has done. — E talkBAG 23:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

  • I've done 19 trial edits; have a look if you want. The last article got skipped because it was one I did by hand earlier. - Mgmbot 13:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Approved. — madman bum and angel 01:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
