Operator: Mets501

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic but every edit will be checked

Programming Language(s): AWB with C# module

Function Summary: ame exact task as Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EBot Task2

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one time run

Edit rate requested: 10 edits per minute

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

Function Details: User:E withdrew his request to run this task, so I'm taking it over.

Actually, if I could just get approval for any of this sort of template parameter-updating that would be great. —METS501 (talk) 03:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:The prior withdrawal was that AWB would not be able to accomplish this task, has that been resolved? — xaosflux ^Talk 04:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::I'm actually not really using AWB for the article processing, just for the list-making and article-saving. I'm using C# regexes for the processing. I'll have some sample diffs in a second. —METS501 (talk) 04:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and did a little trial: check it out [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20070824052343&limit=17&target=MetsBot here]. —METS501 (talk) 05:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:{{BotTrial|edits=50}} Give it 50 more edits, report back and I can approve. Thanks for taking this over, didn't really have much time on my hands. — E ^talk_bots 06:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::OK, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&offset=20070824052343&target=MetsBot trial done]. Here's the article-text-processing source code, if anyone's curious:

::I'm searching for a good way of matching an entire template with a regex reliably (even if there is a template inside one of the template parameters. Anyone? —METS501 (talk) 13:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
