Function overview:
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatically
Programming language(s): Based / used the Wikimate (PHP).
Source code available: No.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): One time.
Estimated number of pages affected: Around 141,263 (2022-03-20).
Namespace(s): Mainspace
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No
Function details:
Bot will do only the syntax changes.
Example
Input:
<ref>AAA</ref> bbb <ref>AAA</ref>
Output:
<ref name="#1">AAA</ref> bbb <ref name="#1"/>Replaces only definitions with the format:
<ref>TEXT</ref>
Another (example with the "name" parameter or the "group" parameter) are not replaced.
How more changes?
At this point I am going to mark it Denied. because wider discussion and consensus is required. That said, ping me or drop me a note if that is acquired and we can easily re-open this listing. Given the vast number of pages involved and AWB's rules, the fact that it is included as a standard fix holds little weight in my view; this would be an appropriate task for a bot, provided consensus was reached first. -- TheSandDoctor Talk 17:19, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
