Function details: The bot will fix deprecated parameters in :Template:RomanianSoccer. An example edit is located [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sebastian_Achim&diff=prev&oldid=880662357 here]. The bot is going to change the old_id parameter to id if id is not defined in the template. For example,

* {{RomanianSoccer|old_id=a/achim_sebastian}} is wrong because old_id has no accompanying id parameter. This was change in my later edit to * {{RomanianSoccer|id=a/achim_sebastian}} which is correct. It is quite clear at :Template:RomanianSoccer's documentation "The "old_id" parameter may contain an ID such as a/augustin_ionel, which is the ID portion of http://www.romaniansoccer.ro/players/a/augustin_ionel.shtml or http://www.statisticsfootball.com/players/a/augustin_ionel.shtml. This parameter is optional if the "id" parameter (or unnamed parameter "1") is used." Update: The "a/" before the name of the player with change to "97/" in the template as stated at Template:RomanianSoccer#Examples and the name will be reversed so "achim_sebastian" will become "sebastian-achim" so this task will also update the links. However, there may need to be some regex to have those changes.

I got the URL updates wrong so I will stick with fixing the deprecated parameters. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:43, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
