Function overview: Cleaning citation templates.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): N/A, kind of a "duh" thing.
Edit period(s): Will usually edit after dumps on articles likely to contain fixes.
Estimated number of pages affected: 10-20K?
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes (AWB)
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No
Function details: This mostly concerns fixes like the following

with genfixes enabled. Try to balance the different tasks throughout the 100 edits. I'm leaving the "convert bare url to cite journals" task open to discussion/advertising. — The Earwig (talk) 19:47, 5 September 2011 (UTC) reply
Trial complete. I'm currently reviewing the edits, see if there's anything wrong with any of them. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC) reply
|id=ISBN-x

. This is
GIGO stuff (the article isn't made any worse by the bot).I made some other tweaks to the bot (added a few more urls to recognize and clean, fixed a few regexes, and made it skip articles it was likely to mess up after discovering an issue). I've tested them semi-automatically on a variety of articles, but it would probably be a good idea to trial them. So could I get another trial?

with the same exact data. Yes, it's relatively minor, and supposedly a problem with AWB and not the bot itself, but it should be looked into.
Approved for extended trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Trial until you think everything's been sufficiently tested. —

replyApproved. Trials seem fine. Looked through 100 or so edits, clarified all that I wasn't sure about. Don't see any major issues. Rare AWB genfixes that could be seen as minor/cosmetic, but cannot really be avoided due to AWB logic. Older issues resolved, AWB template issue is bug report filed, currently implemented with a blacklist work-around. Task is being monitored by botop and lists are compiled from dumps, so shouldn't cause any problems with weird cases. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 20:32, 10 September 2011 (UTC) reply
