Function overview: Replace clear-cut cases of improperly used "|format=" in citations
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Supervised
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: Not for now Yes, on
GitHub
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): one time run
Estimated number of pages affected: A couple hundered, as About 435 during a test run. There are about 1200 pages in
the related catagory, but only a small amount not all of them are actually clear-cut. (May change as minor edits happen)
Namespace(s): Mainspace
Exclusion compliant No: Only edits mainspace
Function details: For now, it will simply replace clear-cut cases of misused format without url (Paperback, e-book, etc.) by swapping the field from format to type. It applies citation-error edits to only mainspace, so i dont imagine an exclusion compliance is going to be needed, but i may be mistaken.
If there are only a "small amount" that are straight-forward as claimed, this might be better for a quick AWB run, no? Primefac ( talk) 12:13, 27 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Update: Source code is now public, so you can see the "clear-cut" list as-is, as well as anything else. (look in /Tasks/ for the file). Ive also updated the estimated number of pages affected after a no-edit test run. Aidan9382 ( talk) 06:48, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply
