Album review move: Migration of Review-Christgau template
Hi Tim. As promised, I have investigated how to handle Review-Christgau. This is a bit tricky as the template generates at the same time the source, the rating and the link. So we need to decompose these three informations. Please find below how I believe it should be handled.

Source
The "Source" column must obviously be Robert Christgau.

Rating
Here are the substitution rules that I have found.

XXX, YYY and ZZZ are variables: Note that I have enhanced Review-Christgau to support the letter grade ratings (e.g. B+) to make your job easier.
 * XXX is the rating.
 * YYY is the search key (can be an album-id, an artist-id, or an artist name).
 * ZZZ is a URL to a site other than Christgau's owns which reproduces his Consumer Guide.

Examples
I have manually corrected the 18 articles that use {{{tl|Rating-Christgau}} and have already been migrated by DASHBot (my edit is called "Manually fix Christgau review"). For each album you will find the old Review wikitext and the new wikitext for the Rating column. It might help you to better grasp the above rules.

Hope this helps. Otherwise, don't hesitate to ask. – IbLeo (talk) 23:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

lbum review move: Into unexpected section
I also noted that sometimes the reviews are moved into an unexpected section. Examples: The Presidents of the United States of America (album) ("Release history") and New Jersey (album) ("Unreleased songs"). Is it possible to enhance the bot to fix this before you run the bot again? – IbLeo (talk) 23:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Album review move: No References section
I noted that when the article does not already have any references, the bot simply leaves the link in the Album review box instead of creating a reference. Example: Showtunes (I have added the section for the Christgau review, but you can look at the other). Would it be possible to enhance the bot so a References section are added to the article and references created? – IbLeo (talk) 23:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
