Operator: Anomie⚔

Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic, unsupervised

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Replace {{WikiProject Neurology}} with {{WPMED|neurology=yes|neurology-imp=}}.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one-time

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

Function Details: Per request, the bot will replace {{WikiProject Neurology}} (and any redirects) with {{WPMED}}, or just remove the Neurology banner if WPMED is already on the page. It will also add the parameter neurology=yes to WPMED, and also neurology-imp if the old Neurology banner had an importance parameter.

It will renumber the parameters of {{WikiProjectBanners}} or {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} if the removal of the Neurology project banner necessitates that.

Discussion

This is essentially the same code as was approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 4, just updated for the new task. The code is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateReplacer4.pm, and the diff from the approved code is here. Anomie⚔ 00:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

It should be noted that most, if not all, of the pages will already have a WPMED template on. I just realised that this is going to be more of a 'remove the neurology template, replace the WPMED' kind of thing. Is that okay? —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 12:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

As I mentioned above, it's basically the same code as was used to cleanup the banners after WikiProject Nintendo became a task force of WPVG; there was usually a WPVG banner already on the page for that task too. See for exampe this edit.

When WPMED already exists, the bot will add the neurology=yes and neurology-imp parameters to it without disturbing any existing parameters. It will even notice {{WPMEDICINE}} and other redirects to WPMED, and {{NeuroWikiProject}} and other redirects to {{WikiProject Neurology}} for that matter. Anomie⚔ 13:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Same code, trusted bot op. Speedily Approved. BJ^Talk 19:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
