Discussion

• Can you run a database scan or otherwise check to get some measure of estimated number of pages affected? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 17:39, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

  @BU Rob13: I just made a scan to 40,000 pages that have the cite web template, it shows that 20 of them will be affected. According to template count, there is a total of 2,700,000 pages, which by ratio, should have a total of around 1350 pages being affected. However, this may be very inaccurate as I've just scanned 1.5% of all pages with that template. I assume the bot will affect 500 - 5000 pages. -- Gabrielchihonglee (talk) 08:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

  Approximately 2k. --Izno (talk) 19:21, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

  This search indicates a few more, without filtering for cite web. --Izno (talk) 19:24, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

  6597 as of right now. SQL^{Query me!} 17:39, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

  That's just a total count of the links though, no? We're just looking for where |publisher=The Peerage, which is what my search indicates. --Izno (talk) 14:22, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

  Fair point! SQL^{Query me!} 01:57, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

did the trial occur? — xaosflux ^Talk 01:40, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry but due to heavy workload in real life, I think I have to WITHDRAW the request. -- Gabrielchihonglee (talk) 23:47, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
