Function overview: Removing instances of {{AMQ}}/{{FMQ}} following TfD, and adding other missing IDs in related templates
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Python, PWB framework
Source code available: github PR
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WP:BOTREQ#Adding Facility IDs to AM/FM/LPFM station data
Edit period(s): one time run
Estimated number of pages affected: c20,000 pages using the template or linked to the categories in the BOTREQ
Namespace(s): Article
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: The bot will initally remove all instances of {{FMQ}}/{{AMQ}} following TfD, updating those and the templates that currently transclude them. It will query the new FCC public API, and if the callsign has a FCC Facility ID it will update the template and update the relevant Wikidata entry (seperate BRFA filed over there). If the facility ID is not found, then it will remove the template (this will largely affect Mexican and Canadian stations, which have been removed from the new database).
Following this, I will run on Category:Pages using AM station data without facility ID, Category:Pages using FM station data without facility ID and Category:Pages using LPFM station data without facility ID, which may or may not have any members remaining after this task.
