User talk:Kingsindian/ARBPIA articles

Instructions[edit]

Here's how I created the list:

Fire up AWB
On the "List" menu, ensure "Keep alphabetized" is ticked
On the "List" menu, ensure "Remove non-main space" is not ticked
In the list area at the bottom left, select "What transcludes page (all namespaces)" as the "Source"
In the box just under the "Source", type Template:Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement
Press "Make list" - the list box is now full of article talk pages plus a sprinkling of oddments
On the "List" menu, select "Convert from talk pages"
On the "List" menu, select "Remove non-main space" to remove the oddments
On the "List" menu, select "Save list..."
Choose a file name, ensure the selected format is "Text file with wiki markup", and save
Open the file in a text editor; each line has the form # [[:Article name]]
Global search and replace [[: to {{la2| and ]] to }}
Copy and paste from the text editor into the Wikipedia edit window

This procedure should work until the number of articles hits a built-in limit, I think 5000. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
