Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Function overview: Sync disambiguation talk pages by replacing redirects with {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): One time big run, followed by periodic smaller runs as needed
Estimated number of pages affected: 8,800+ pages on initial run
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Editors often move a page from a base title to a parenthetically disambiguated title, and then create a new disambiguation page by converting the redirect to a dab. However, they sometimes neglect to update the talk page, which remains a redirect to the parenthetical title. The AWB list source is all pages populating
Category:Unsynchronized disambiguation talk pages, converted to talk pages. The find and replace is Find: #REDIRECT(.|\n)*
(regex); Replace: {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}
(options set to not follow redirects) which will replace the contents of the redirect page with the appropriate WikiProject template.
I'd like to see a short trial to ensure we are on the same page about your edits.
