Operator: X clamation point
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): PHP
Function Overview: Modifying templates per this BOTREQ
Edit period(s): Bi-weekly
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: This bot will get all the transclusions of {{ Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}. For each one, it will see if {{ Should be SVG}} is on it. If it is, then it removes both and adds {{ Convert to SVG and copy to Wikimedia Commons}}.
Why are there so many SoxBots and why is it seemingly impossible to figure out which do what? Is there a complete chart available somewhere? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 03:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I really don't understand why its so important that they be converted to SVG before being moved to commons. Surely as a "common" project specifically designed to host images, commons has at least as many, if not more people able to convert images to SVG than enwiki? Mr. Z-man 19:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Just to clarify the bot's purpose, and not to sound like I'm badgering you, but how many images are there that have both of these templates on them? Essentially, I'm wondering how many file pages this bot would change. An estimate is all I ask for. The Earwig ( Talk | Contributions) 03:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC) reply
