Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): PHP
Source code available: Not at current
Function overview: Bluelink Book references where ever possible.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Unanimous discussion
Edit period(s): Continuous
Estimated number of pages affected: mainspace
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: IABot will go through a DB subset of information as well as crawl through recent changes to maintain an index of available books and cited books. It will use that to derive which pages have cited books that can be blue linked and make the edit. The end result is that the page title and/or the page number will be a link to the previewable book. If the title is already wikilinked somewhere else, only the page number is linked, vice-versa. If there is a page number, IABot will provide a direct link to the page in the book for readers to look at. If not, the book will be linked without a page number. Links to book searches and for-profit entities will be replaced.
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. As per usual, please perm link contribs here when done & take all the time you need, Cyberpower678. -- TheSandDoctor Talk 07:29, 16 June 2019 (UTC) reply
|url=
set to that same url? That creates two links in the citation that link to the same place, which seems strange/confusing. General practice from what I've seen seems to be to only add a link using |url=
.Approved. Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to leave the close for someone else. However, given the backlog, lack of recent BAG activity (myself included), and the fact that this task is uncontroversial and based on how well the trial went, I am inclined to make an exception for this. As per usual, if amendments to - or clarifications regarding - this approval are needed, please start a discussion on the talk page and ping. -- TheSandDoctor Talk 00:51, 13 July 2019 (UTC) reply
