Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: Find \s*\|\s*bypass-rcheck\s*=.*

Function overview: Remove the deprecated parameter |bypass-rcheck= of ((Infobox journal)) from pages in: Category:Infobox journals with bypassed redirect checking. (And AWB genfixes if applicable.)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): The parameter was introduced to suppress undesired WhatLinksHere entries created by an ifexist check (Template talk:Infobox journal#Links to DAB pages). A hack was found by Certes (talk · contribs) and is now implemented, meaning |bypass-rcheck= is no longer needed (and could gets in the way of further checks for different abbreviation as they are added). Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: ~176

Namespace(s):Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes, but irrelevant

Function details: Remove the deprecated parameter |bypass-rcheck= of ((Infobox journal)).

[edit]

BTW, I did a dry run without edit and there was zero issues. I believe this could be speedily approved. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
