Time filed: 04:35, Tuesday December 10, 2013 ( UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: AWB
Function overview: Convert {{ multiple issues}} parameters to templates
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Template_talk:Multiple_issues#Convert_deprecated_parameters_to_templates? and Template_talk:Multiple_issues#Lua_rewrite
Edit period(s): Hopefully one time run, but might night to pick up a few more based on how long it takes to create a new version of {{ multiple issues}}
Estimated number of pages affected: Category:Pages with multiple issues using deprecated parameters currently has 12,052 articles.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Using the work I did on BattyBot 19, convert all of the deprecated parameters in {{ multiple issues}} into templates (e.g. this edit). This work would be done in order to implement a simplified (possibly Lua) version of {{ multiple issues}}, and allow the AWB developers to streamline some of their code. Any AWB general fixes would also be done at the same time. I will also monitor Category:Pages using multiple issues with incorrect parameters and fix any issues that arise from edge cases.
I don't get it. How does this improve the encyclopedia? Josh Parris 06:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC) reply
If we had everything converted it would also be easier to add/remove templates. This is very useful in my task to move orphan tag to the talk pages. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 18:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC) reply
