Function Details: The bot will substitute templates that are improperly transcluded on user talk pages. The list of such templates is found here. This will be done daily, or perhaps a few times a week (as required). Here is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080710181330&limit=5&target=Xenocidic&month=&year= example] of such edits. While on the subject of find & replace, I would also like to use it to occasionally update transclusions of userboxen ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080710204045&limit=8&target=Xenocidic&month=&year= example]).

:Trial {{Done}}. For the first task (template substitution) here's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080710233600&limit=22&target=Xenobot&month=&year= 22 edits]. There would've been more but another bot beat me to job list that I compiled this morning. Note the first four edits were problematic because AWB seemed to mistakenly identify some code as trancluding the {{tl|subst}} template - so I removed that template from the list. For the second task, here's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080710231200&limit=20&target=Xenobot&month=&year= 20 edits]. No issues were encountered. –xenocidic (talk) 23:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:Here's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080711133500&limit=8&target=Xenobot&month=&year= 8 more template substitution edits]. –xenocidic (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

::I've just gone through about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080711151200&limit=140&target=Xenocidic&month=&year=%208 125 transclusions] under my username, to refine the method a bit, clean out some really old transclusions, and see what kind of false positives the bot might pick up. Should be good to go now. –xenocidic (talk) 15:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gimmetrow&diff=prev&oldid=225112974] Go ahead with these 155 uses needed for WP:RTV. Gimmetrow 23:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

:Here are the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080712010200&limit=155&target=Xenobot&month=&year= 155 edits] I needed to do. Of course, I miscounted, so I did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080712010000&limit=188&target=Xenocidic&month=&year=%208 another 185 manually] under my name. No issues - not much that can go wrong with updating userbox transclusions. –xenocidic (talk) 01:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
