{{Newbot|BattyBot|11}}

Operator: {{botop|GoingBatty}}

Time filed: 00:44, Monday September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Change {{tl|Cleanup}} to {{tl|Cleanup-university}} or {{tl|Cleanup-school}}. The more specific templates have links to guidelines for cleaning up university/school articles, which will hopefully encourage editors to cleanup the articles, and eventually remove the maintenance template altogether.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): One time run for each, then smaller runs as needed.

Estimated number of pages affected: hundreds

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details:

Use AWB's find & replace functionality to do the following:

  • For all articles with {{tl|Infobox university}}, change {{tl|Cleanup}} to {{tl|Cleanup-university}}.
  • For all articles with {{tl|Infobox school}}, change {{tl|Cleanup}} to {{tl|Cleanup-school}}.
  • Change either the template (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Macau&diff=prev&oldid=513012330 this edit]) or the parameter in {{tl|Multiple issues}} (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nelson_Mandela_Metropolitan_University&diff=prev&oldid=513011013 this edit])

Any AWB general fixes will be made at the same time.

I apologize profusely for doing my test edits on User:BattyBot instead of User:GoingBatty. Each test edit was manually supervised, and should not be counted in any trials. As soon as I realized my mistake, I stopped immediately and filed this request. GoingBatty (talk) 00:52, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

:{{BotTrialComplete}} - 25 for {{tl|cleanup-university}} and 25 for {{tl|cleanup-school}}. Future edit summaries will be changed from "((cleanup-university}}" to "{{cleanup-university}}" or "{{cleanup-school}}". GoingBatty (talk) 03:46, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
