Function overview: Fix pages with the Old behaviour of link-wrapping font tags lint issue.
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Javascript
Source code available: At User:WOSlinkerBot/linttask22.js
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): one time run
Estimated number of pages affected: currently 90,000 of those lint errors, but multiple errors per page so guessing about 30,000
Namespace(s): wikipedia & talk pages
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No
Function details: Similar to previous tasks, such as task 21, fixing lint issues. This task will be fxing the Old behaviour of link-wrapping font tags lint issues. While fixing though pages, some additions will be made to the javascript code as additional combinations of the font tag and wikilinks are found.
Shouldn't this actually be a supervised task? There are lots of different cases involved that would make it difficult as an automatic task. I tested
User:WOSlinkerBot/linttask22.js against a variety of cases
here. It had one false positive of replacing <font color="#AFFFF">[[User:abc|abc]]</font>
with [[User:abc|<span style="color:#AFFFF;">abc</span>]]
. You can add more regexes to catch the ones it skipped.

, the bot op may need to specify only three or six characters in the font color. It should probably skip any other number of characters. I also recommend a supervised task with inspection, or at least starting with known signatures, as collected
here. –
