[edit] PhotoCatBot 2

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

Operator: Twp

Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic

Programming Language(s): Python / pywikipedia

Function Summary: Merge {{reqphotoin}} template with {{reqphoto}}.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one time run

Edit rate requested: 1 epm

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details:

I have added location-based parameters to the {{reqphoto}} template to permit merging it with the {{reqphotoin}} template. This both simplifies the template namespace and makes the templates more useful: it is now possible to mark a single photo request with both its subject and location (which before would have required two templates and produced two infoboxes).

This bot will walk the pages linked from Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Reqphotoin and replace any {{reqphotoin|foo|bar|baz}} template with {{reqphoto|in=foo|in2=bar|in3=baz}}. Once that is done I will propose formally merging {{reqphotoin}} with {{reqphoto}}.
