Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):

Function details: Fix {{cite book}} references to the Australian Dictionary of Biography in articles containing Category:CS1 errors: periodical ignored by doing the following:

• Convert {{cite book}} with a |website=/|work=Australian Dictionary of Biography value to {{cite Australian Dictionary of Biography}} without the |website=/|work= parameter
• Remove the |publisher= parameter
• Convert the |url= parameter to |id2=/|id= per Template:Cite Australian Dictionary of Biography#Parameters

For examples, see this edit and this edit and this edit.

This bot will not fix all issues. Some of the references will have to be fixed manually, such as those {{cite book}} templates with different values in |title= and |chapter=.

The bot will also perform AWB's general fixes. Thank you for your consideration! GoingBatty (talk) 19:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
