Function
HersfoldCiteBot is a bot that goes through :Category:Articles with broken citations and corrects common errors in {{tl|cite web}} templates. Specifically, it attempts to correct these problems:
- {{tl|cite web}} missing a |title= parameter
- {{tl|cite web}} with an |archiveurl= parameter, but no |archivedate= parameter
{{tl|cite web}} missing an |accessdate= parameter- disabled on recommendations at BRFA pending more accurate code and consensus to do so
