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

Function details:

Similar to BattyBot 11 and BattyBot 12, use AWB's find & replace functionality to do the following:

  • For all articles with an infobox, add the appropriate parameter to {{tl|Notability}}. For example, for articles with {{tl|Infobox film}}, change {{Notability|date=October 2012}} to {{Notability|Films|date=October 2012}}. See more examples at User:BattyBot/Notability.
  • Change either the template (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paras&diff=prev&oldid=516226643 this edit]) or the parameter in {{tl|Multiple issues}} (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dead_Man%27s_Bluff&diff=prev&oldid=516225310 this edit])
  • Any AWB general fixes will be made at the same time.
