AnomieBOT 57[edit]

Operator: Anomie ⚔

Time filed: 01:57, Tuesday September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming language(s): Perl

Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TagDater.pm

Function overview: Convert {{disambiguation|cleanup}} to {{disambiguation cleanup|date=...}}.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Template:Disambiguation/doc

Edit period(s): Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: Depends how often people use {{disambiguation|cleanup}}.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes

Function details: Giving the "cleanup" parameter to {{disambiguation}} causes the page to be placed into Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, which is a dated maintenance category; pages should be sorted into an appropriate dated subcategory instead. This sorting cannot be done using template {{disambiguation}}, as it does not have support for the |date= parameter; its documentation states that {{disambiguation cleanup}} should be used instead.

The bot will change any instance of {{disambiguation}} with "cleanup" as one of its unnamed/numbered parameters to the corresponding invocation of {{disambiguation cleanup}}, and add the current month and year in |date=.

Discussion[edit]

This is, of course, an extension of the TagDater task approved in AnomieBOT 49. I've noticed {{disambiguation|cleanup}} twice recently, so it seems it would be something useful for the bot to fix. Anomie ⚔ 01:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — seems sane. Could probably just modify the template, but given there aren't any objections, and given the user's demonstrated ability to make sane bots, by all means. --slakr^\ talk / 04:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
