{{Newbot|MetsBot}}

Operator: Mets501

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): will run on AutoWikiBrowser

Function Summary: Removing leading zeros from US runway designations

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

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per Minute

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

Function Details: See the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#No leading zeros on US runways. This bot will go through :Category:Airports in the United States and remove the leading zeros from runway angles in infoboxes using the regex runway(_| )angle( )*=( )*0 replaced with: runway angle$2=$3. This has been well tested in my sandbox. The bot will not make changes to articles in :Category:United States Air Force bases, :Category:United States Coast Guard Air Stations, :Category:United States Navy air stations, :Category:United States Army airfields, and :Category:United States Navy air stations, and articles with type=military in their infobox (using the regex type( )*=( )*(M|m)ilitary) as the military does use leading zeros. —Mets501 (talk) 19:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
