This page has archives. Sections older than 30 days may be automatically archived by when more than 3 sections are present.

This page is for AWB'ers who can't find anything to put it to use on, or who would like to help others with this powerful tool.

Below are tasks for which a page-autoloader with various capabilities would be especially useful. That is, the people posting these tasks need the help of AWB'ers! If you have AWB, please lend a hand. Note that Link Ninja may also be useful for completing the tasks on this list (see WP:OTS#Tabs and tabbing).

Please note that Wikipedia:Bot requests sometimes has one-time tasks which can be done easily using AWB.

Comment: I forgot to update the access-date parameter and remove |url-status=dead at first, so Iam now fixing it using my alternative account, Эарендил and will return when done. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 19:48, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That part is done, I will now adapt my regex to do this directly and then continue. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 20:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nomentz: I was a bit more than halfway through, but my computer crashed, so I'll have to figure out the regex again because I was too lazy to save the preferences. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 21:32, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nomentz:

Done. The search will still return results, because I did not change any archive links. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:51, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink to Sansoni (publisher) in Cite book templates

Sansoni (publisher) is an old and important Italian publisher, whose page was recently created.

There are hundreds of pages with Cite book templates for works published by Sansoni.

It would be useful to link them to the publisher page.

So my proposal is that a bot should look for instances of {{Cite book }} where there is one of these parameters:

|publisher=G. C. Sansoni
|publisher=G.C. Sansoni
|publisher=Sansoni

And replace it respectively with:

|publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]]
|publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|G.C. Sansoni]]
|publisher=[[Sansoni (publisher)|Sansoni]]

The replace should only be done on the first instance in each page, of course, to avoid excessive wikilinks.

Thank you in advance!

@Lou Crazy: Should be done, though the search only returned 15 results. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 17:25, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thank you. However it seems that the search query didn't find pages such as Bric delle Camere or Katherine Ruth Bridges which have "publisher=Sansoni".

Can you look into it?

Thank you!

This search finds 23 articles with a variation on "publisher=Sansoni". GoingBatty (talk) 05:22, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I forgot to look for the ones where no initials where present. Thanks. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 06:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
