[edit]Here's how I created the list:
- Fire up AWB
- On the "List" menu, ensure "Keep alphabetized" is ticked
- On the "List" menu, ensure "Remove non-main space" is not ticked
- In the list area at the bottom left, select "What transcludes page (all namespaces)" as the "Source"
- In the box just under the "Source", type
Template:Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement
- Press "Make list" - the list box is now full of article talk pages plus a sprinkling of oddments
- On the "List" menu, select "Convert from talk pages"
- On the "List" menu, select "Remove non-main space" to remove the oddments
- On the "List" menu, select "Save list..."
- Choose a file name, ensure the selected format is "Text file with wiki markup", and save
- Open the file in a text editor; each line has the form
# [[:Article name]]
- Global search and replace
[[:
to{{la2|
and]]
to}}
- Copy and paste from the text editor into the Wikipedia edit window
This procedure should work until the number of articles hits a built-in limit, I think 5000. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
