User talk:Abyssal/Image to crop checklist

Request for new, relatively simple operation
Hey, John. Could you scan this page for every listed image with a single bullet in front of it and replace its filename with the filename listed under it with two bullets across the usual User:Abyssal/Articles to caption articles plus User:Abyssal/Image captions to use? Then remove the source code from this page for each pair that was successfully copy-replaced. Abyssal (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to check: for the second one, I'm searching for  and replacing the whole thing with the new version on the following line, thus updating both the image name and, in this case, the caption. That looks doable. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I mean just replace the file name. Abyssal (talk) 21:41, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I've set up my regular expressions; I think I'm ready to start these edits, if that's OK with you. It looks as if I don't have to worry about image names within multiple image because you've taken them all out? -- John of Reading (talk) 09:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Some other editors disliked the multiple image template so they've been removed. A smaller quantity might get re-added some time in the future, though. Abyssal (talk) 13:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅, I hope. Ping me when there are more to do; it should be fairly easy for me to run this again. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Could you run this again when you get a chance? Abyssal (talk) 19:38, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

 * ✅. FYI I have a holiday coming up, August 16 to 23. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this will be finished by then. Could you run this again, please? Abyssal (talk) 02:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- John of Reading (talk) 06:47, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Once again, maestro! Oh, quick question: can that tool you use access and make use of the image dimension information that can be found in a picture's filespace page? Abyssal (talk) 02:48, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅. No, my regular expressions only work with the text on the page being edited. In theory, AWB can be configured to call out to arbitrary chunks of C++ code, but that's way beyond me. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:18, 11 August 2019 (UTC)


 * OK. Could you run this again when you get a chance? Abyssal (talk) 03:23, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

 * You're a machine, John! Just once more and then I'll let you enjoy your vacation. :) Abyssal (talk) 02:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thank you! -- John of Reading (talk) 06:33, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
