PrimeBOT 3

Operator: Primefac (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 22:58, Wednesday, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Substitute wrapper templates to implement complex merger of {{Infobox Country Asian Games}} into {{Infobox country at games}}

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): TFD

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 734

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: There are 51 templates that call {{Infobox Country Asian Games}}. These templates, as well as IB Country Asian Games, have been modified so that substituting the transclusion on an article will result in the proper output of {{infobox country at games}}. As all of these templates follow the same Infobox Asian Games X nomenclature, I will be replacing Infobox Asian Games with subst:Infobox Asian Games.

Discussion

Note that AnomieBOT can handle simple template substitution tasks by placing the templates into Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted (and, if there are more than 100 existing transclusions, adding them to User:AnomieBOT/TemplateSubster force).

Anomie, while this is true, wouldn't it involve putting all 51 templates onto the subst list? Primefac (talk) 23:23, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. Anomie ⚔ 23:28, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, easier than 700 edits.
