Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB, regexes given below

Function overview: Fix 3 Lint errors in substituted welcome template

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Same function as Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MalnadachBot 5 but with different regexes

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 65,000

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: This task has same function as Task 5 but with different regexes due to different table style. It is to fix 3 Lint errors caused by substitution of ((W-graphical)) and its variants in User talk and User namespace. Each edit will fix three Lint errors; 1 deletable table tag (high priority error), 1 missing end tag div and 1 stripped table tag (low priority errors). Insource search for the pattern giving deletable table tag error gives 65,000 results. With 3 errors fixed per edit, this task will cleanup a total of 195,000 Lint errors.

I will be using 4 regexes in AWB's find and replace advanced settings -

1. (\{\| width\=\"100\%\" style\=\"background\:transparent\"\n)\{\| width\=\"100\%\" style\=\"background-color\:\<\!-- Bug --\>\#F5FFFA\"\n(\|style\=\"width\: 50\%\; border\:1px solid) is replaced with $1$2
2. (\<\/p\>)(\n\|\}\n\{\| width\=\"100\%\" style\=\"background-color\:\<\!-- Bug --\>\#F5FFFA\"\n\|) is replaced with $1</div>$2
3. (\* Practice \[\[Wikipedia\:Civility\|civility\]\]\n\* \[\[Wikipedia\:Wikipedia Signpost\|Discover what\'s going on in the Wikimedia community\]\]\n\|-\n\|\})\n\|\}(\n\|\}\n\|\}) is replaced with $1$2
4. (\* Follow \[\[Wikipedia\:Etiquette\|Wikipedia etiquette\]\]\n\* Practice \[\[Wikipedia\:Civility\|civility\]\]\n\|-\n\|\})\n\|\}(\n\|\}\n\|\}) is replaced with $1$2

All pages have 2 Lint error patterns that are handled by regex 1 and 2. For the third Lint error, a page will have one of the error patterns that are handled by regex 3 and 4. So regex 1 and 2 will be used for all edits, with regex 3 or 4 depending on the page.

• Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Please give at least 5 examples per replacement, no more than 25 total. I just want to make sure there are no surprise issues. Primefac (talk) 10:55, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
