{{Newbot|AnomieBOT|26}}

Operator: Anomie⚔

Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic, unsupervised

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Overview: Replace all uses of a template with a replacement.

Edit period(s): As needed

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: Replace all transclusions of one template with another (or with several others depending on template parameters, etc), when a template must be renamed. Normally, this will be the result of a TFD, but it could be used for any clear-cut case. It will not be done just to replace a template redirect when the redirect is going to remain.

I figure I may as well get an approval to do this sort of thing in general, instead of just for the specific {{tl|User its}} and {{tl|User bas}} replacement that has been requested. Source is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateReplacer15.pm. Anomie⚔ 05:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

• As long as there is sufficient consensus before any edits are made, I can't see why you should have to come back to BRFA every time. {{BotApproved|D}} - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 19:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
