Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

\|\s*id(\d?) --> |work$1

if "IMSLP2" is contained within the template

Function overview: Replacing {{{id}}} ... {{{id5}}} with {{{work}}} ... {{{work5}}} to complete a merge of {{IMSLP2}} into {{IMSLP}}.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_January_4#Template:IMSLP2

Edit period(s): One-time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Up to 2,401

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: {{{id}}} currently overlaps between the two templates but is used for two different purposes, so a bot is needed to replace {{{id}}} with the correct parameter for {{IMSLP}}, which is {{{work}}}. We can then redirect {{IMSLP2}} to {{IMSLP}} to complete the merge. This bot task will use only AWB template parameter rules, and it's trivial compared to past tasks, so I'm hoping this can be speedily approved. Thanks!

  • Trial complete. Most recent 50 edits in Special:Contributions/BU RoBOT. Before running this, I realized id was generic enough that it's bound to run into problems with replacing parameters in the wrong template, so I swapped over to regex, which I've now posted above. No errors. ~ Rob^Talk 04:33, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

 Approved. I dunno if the syntaxes are 100% the same, but I'd be happier if we also just swapped {{IMSLP2}} to {{IMSLP}} at the same time. That said, it's not that huge of a deal; the total count is fairly low if it has to be revisited, and we can just redirect, as mentioned. --slakr^\ talk / 03:15, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
