Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB, insource search. Uses a "simple replace" of the tags.
Function overview: Replacing strike tags with s tags
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): None
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: Estimated 9982
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No
Function details: Will run AutoWikiBrowser in automatic mode. Choosing to do this replacing with a s tag instead of del, as I believe that most strike tags used will be used in the context of s anyways. According to Mozzila Web Docs, del is used to represent deleted text. I don't think that this is appropriate for most content here, and that s would do just fine. Open to feedback.
Discussion
[edit] Denied. mostly per WP:CONTEXTBOT. You can not blindly replace <strike>
for <s>
, as their use is context specific. — xaosflux Talk 00:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
