- The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. The result of the discussion was
Approved.
Operator: RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Semi-automatic, regex set up and then set to run automatically
Programming Language(s): AWB (C#)
Function Summary: Changing the transclusions of recently userfied userboxen on userpages.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One run per userbox moved
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: In essence a trivially simple task that I have recently been doing with my AWB account. The reason I want approval to do it automatically is twofold: 1) clicking 'Save' every time when I have checked and rechecked the regex as fine (i.e. no problems) is getting tedious, and 2) some of the userboxen that I feel should be in userspace have 200+ transclusions and I would therefore clog up recent changes unless I use a +bot flagged account.
Discussion
[edit]Sounds like what is expected for UBX moves. I'll wait for somebody else to chime in though. Q T C 21:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- See here for a demonstration edit, and here for the AWB module code. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 21:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable to me Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Q T C 17:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Done Only a couple of minor bugs (which I quickly squashed), the updated code can be seen here. The edit summary problem came from me reusing old code, now fixed. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 19:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
