Operator: TeckWiz
Automatic-Supervised
Programming Language(s):AWB
Function Summary: Substing user warnings.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run):Probably once a day
Edit rate requested: 10 edits per min
Already has a bot flag (Y/N):N
Function Details:AWB will collect the newest version of Category:User warning templates at the beginning of the run. It will then be filtered to just templates. That list will then be saved to a file. By selecting all in the list, and then right clicking and then selecting "Add to selected list->from transclusion", it will get all pages linking to the templates listed. AWB will then filter it to only user talk. I will then open the text file, use find and replace (in Wordpad) to get rid of what AWB adds on to the list ( #[[ and ]]). After the find and replace finishes, the list will pasted into the "templates to subst" box on AWB. The box to ignore HTML tags will be checked so that HTML tags displaying the warning names don't have "subst:" put in front of them. The the bot will start substing to those templates. Using the the exact same list that's in the category insures that all warning templates are substed, no matter how old or new.
Do we not have other bots which do this already (not that I'm objected in any way to this proposal on those grounds, but those users may have helpful hints)? See Wikipedia:SUBST#See_also for details, and a source of templates which need substing. Mart inp23 23:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I'm going to have AWB auto-substitute them in the next release, by the way, so you won't need to use the subst templates feature. —
