Function overview: The bot will fix a couple of cases of high-priority CW Error #34 (Template programming element).

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Supervised

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Once a week

Estimated number of pages affected: There are currently over 1,500 pages but the bot will do only around 150 a week.

Namespace(s): Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The bot will fix these following cases of error 34 and WP:GenFixes will be turned off:

• ((PAGENAME)), ((PAGENAMEE)), ((BASEPAGENAME)), ((BASEPAGENAMEE)) will be substed
  
• __INDEX__, __NOINDEX__ and __NEWSECTIONLINK__ will be deleted
  
• (({ will be replaced with (( where error 34 has been caused due to uneven open brackets for the template
  
• ))} will be replaced with )) where error 34 has been caused due to uneven close brackets for the template
  
• (({reflist))} will be replaced with ((reflist))
• ISBNs will be replaced with two brackets instead of three because ISBNs with three brackets will not work. E.g. (({ISBN|0-123-456-789))} will become ((ISBN|0-123-456-789))

Approved for trial (30 edits or 7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I would like to see 5 edits of each type, if possible. Primefac (talk) 15:30, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Some of the things I stated above like (({reflist))} are quite rare but hopefully I can get hold of at least one edit for that as well. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Trial complete. I am quite happy with how the bot trial went. My edits are located here. I made some very valid fixes to some templates within error 34. Some good fixes of error 34 to templates that came up during the trial includes: this, this and some others. Overall, that went well. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:15, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
