Language icon templates
one pattern i see a lot more often and which inho may warrant a bot fix is a citation template followed by a language icon template. such language template could easily and more efficiently combined using the language parameter within the citation template. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 04:56, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * BattyBot's task 31 removes the language icon templates from citation templates. I run this about once a month.  I have submitted a Reflinks bug report, but I'm not aware of any fixes yet.  GoingBatty (talk) 23:22, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * GB: i'm glad you thought of that one. the other, which i was referring to, is where the language icon is within the tags and placed specifically after (not within) the citation template. Perhaps you could submit a bot task to catch those? --  Ohc  ¡digame! 05:51, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops! You're referring to edits to change   to xx like .  It's easy to change, but not easy to check to see if the template already has a language parameter, and then determine what to do (e.g. ).  GoingBatty (talk) 16:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * This seems like a rather easy task to do.  Have you been working on this or is this still up for grabs?  Also I believe WP:COSMETICBOT applies here.—cyberpower  Chat:Online 22:11, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This is up for grabs - I look forward to seeing how someone with better programming skills than I would check to see if the template already contains . This would change a reference from:

 * Monkbot task 6 also does a variety of fixes around cs1|2 templates and when appropriate modifies title to script-title.  The content of language is not part of the citation metadata.

A bot that compiles a list of all DYK pages under the jurisdiction of a given wikiproject
Can someone program a bot that compiles a chronological list of all articles that have been exhibited on the main page as DYK hooks under the jurisdiction of a given wiki project and posts the list as a subpage of the wikiproject's page? All the bot has to do to source the list is see which article talk pages contain both the DYK template and the template denoting it as under the purview of the wikiproject the list is being compiled for.

Linking identically-named categories on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons

Bot for linking pages
Hi, I'm looking for a bot that will add links to pages that already exist. So for instance "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains" does anyone know of one? --Stuartbman (talk) 09:45, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * , I don't think any bot does that. Also, a question: in your example sentence, how would the bot avoid linking rain, falls, and plains? This proposal in general somewhat opposes WP:BUILD, and it might confuse readers. APerson (talk!) 13:45, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Crashed links
Is there any way to automatically revive the links for all the Athletic Bilbao football players? The club's website keeps changing configuration, so it frequently crashes down. Right now, current (which now have already been revived by a fellow WP user) and past players combined, we have 236 articles, it would be a pity to lose that link because it's quite comprehensive and in English (or it has an English version available, better said).

Attentively --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there a simple mapping between the old URL & the new one? May be you could give an example that could be followed? If this happens regularly then a template may be the answer so that the URL can be modified centrally and all articles using it changed appropriately (assuming that the player part remains the same between changes). Keith D (talk) 21:16, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes sir, please see Eneko Bóveda before and after (here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eneko_B%C3%B3veda&diff=671009484&oldid=669542171). --84.90.219.128 (talk) 23:53, 23 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean by "which now have already been revived by a fellow WP user". Please clarify whether any links currently need to be fixed. All links I examined were already working correctly before your post. Are you requesting something to protect against future changes to the url's? That is impossible in general without knowing how the url's might change, and different websites do all sorts of different things to their url's. The example changed http://www.athletic-club.net/web/main.asp?a=1&b=1&c=1&d=0&jokalaria=842&idi=2 to http://www.athletic-club.eus/en/players/842/eboveda.html. "842" was in the old url but not "eboveda" so there is no simple mapping like Keith D asked about. Creating a template like  with content like   and currently calling it with two parameters like  will create protection if a potential future url can be derived from "842" and "eboveda". Then a single template edit could immediately fix all uses of the template. If only "842" had been in the url before like the example change then a bot could have been coded to scan the 26 index pages at http://www.athletic-club.eus/en/careers.html and discover which name goes with which number. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I now see on searching http://www.athletic-club.net/web/main.asp?a=1&b=1&c=1&d=0&jokalaria= at Special:LinkSearch that around 260 url's need an update. I'm not a bot coder but a bot could do it by scanning http://www.athletic-club.eus/en/careers.html as suggested. I have created .

Many thanks for your help, sorry for the delay because I have only read the follow-up to my query now. By "which now have already been revived by a fellow WP user", I meant the link had been fixed only in the current players of this club (please see the Athletic Bilbao WP article, then "Current squad", to see who they are), but the old players (dead, retired, with other teams) were not working. My intention was never to seek protection against future changes to the URLs, that's not feasible of course, and this link in particular has changed configuration several times, we'll just have to configure as they do.

Cheers again --84.90.219.128 (talk) 18:31, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. I have fixed all mainspace links starting with http://www.athletic-club.net/web/main.asp?a=1&b=1&c=1&d=0&jokalaria=. In a single case I couldn't find a new link and used the Internet Archive.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Galder_Cerrajer%C3%ADa&diff=673680940&oldid=665239643] I have used on around 200 articles (including some where the url was already fixed) so hopefully the fixes will be easier next time. List of Athletic Bilbao players had a lot of formatted references so I only changed url's there.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Athletic_Bilbao_players&diff=673586830&oldid=666765049] There are still many articles with broken url's with other paths at http://www.athletic-club.net.

An article/reference bot
It would be helpful to have a bot that compiled a numerical result showing how many articles on any given Wikipedia edition lack references. While quality assessment is very difficult, such an analysis would give a rough 'verifiability index' of individual editions (and a possibility for comparisons between editions).

I assume a simple string search for  <ref  or reference tags in each article would suffice. If found, the article can be added to the number of referenced articles and the bot can skip to the next one. If it reaches the end of the article and no reference tag is found, the 'unreferenced' count is increased. The end result would just have to be the two resulting sums, which constitute the ratio of referenced vs. unreferenced articles.

I realize there is a certain error margin due to several factors, e.g. malformed references, but that would probably even out, as such errors would be equally distributed between editions.

There's no need for the bot to make any markup, it would just be for statistical QA.

If such a bot already exists or easily can be modified for the task, please advice. Thank you! Asav | Talk 18:57, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, the trick will be to get a transclusion count of the template. The current number is 3,410,088. Then, subtract it from the number of articles (currently 4,717,510). The downsides of this method are:
 * Jarry1250's tool counts all transclusion, AFAIK, even the non-mainspace ones.
 * All articles with might not have references.
 * Articles might have malformed references.

 * I'm bumping this, since QEDK is on a wikibreak. Asav | Talk 10:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, it should. The problem is however, templatecount.py (with -count) doesn't count the articles but the number of transclusions so if your mentioned "keywords" occur twice, thrice or more, it counts that number and not the number of articles it has checked. -- QEDK ♠  T  ♥  C  12:22, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! What about articles that use parameters within the < tag, such as  (for two column layout). Would each possible parameter have to be listed, or is there some sort of a wildcard function? Asav | Talk 19:10, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Navboxes by transclusion count
Would it be possible to put together a list of the templates in the sub-categories (as deep as they go) of Category:Navigational boxes by topic along with their transclusion counts? This would be helpful in finding over-transcluded navboxes that are being used in articles that are not listed in the navbox, as per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. I'm not sure if a bot is best for this task or if an existing tool would work better. ~ RobTalk 13:33, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You might find this useful. Alakzi (talk) 14:05, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I looked into it, but it's not really feasible to use that to check every navbox we have in the wiki. There's thousands. ~ RobTalk 14:07, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, you (or anybody) could query the tool with a bot. Alakzi (talk) 14:09, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. That's well beyond my technical expertise, which consists of using AWB and about nothing else. Anybody interested in taking a stab at that? ~ RobTalk 20:08, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There are 93,095 templates in that category, recursively. I tried a couple different approaches, but haven't found a functional/accurate way to count transclusions yet. The problem is in finding formatting that works for every template. Wrapping them in a ' causes problems (e.g. 'Allo 'Allo!) but a " isn't much better ("Crocodile" Dundee), and so on. I'll take another few shots at it a little later and see if something sticks. <sup style="color:red;">Avic <sub style="color:blue;">ennasis @ 09:52, 10 Elul 5775 / 09:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a stab at it! ~ RobTalk 11:40, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * So that I understand the request, you're asking "For each template in Category:Navigational boxes by topic (and all subcategories thereof), calculalate the number of pages that transclude said template, and put onto wikipedia a list of the template name and the transclusion amount". Is this correct? This could be easily done with pywikibot and gluing portions of category.py (listify) to  templatecount.py.  Is there a consensus discussion for this request? Is this a one off process or is this going to be repeated several times?  Hasteur (talk) 12:17, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That is my request, yes. There is not a consensus discussion, but no edits are being made to the mainspace or any existing page, so I doubt it's necessary. A one-time run is all that would be needed. The reason behind this request is to identify navboxes that are over-transcluded and do not comply with the guideline at WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. ~ RobTalk 12:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Unicode is killer on this, but... You are looking for something like User:Avicennasis/reports/navboxes/01, right? That has the first 500 templates, skipping the first 8 or so problem children. I can try and scale this up (500 to a page is like, 186 pages, so maybe 1000? higher?)

 * Yes, that looks good. You could probably get all the navboxes I'd be interested in looking at on one page, actually. Anything with less than 100 transclusions isn't over-transcluded enough to bother with. Would you be able to filter it out so only those with 100+ transclusions make it onto the report? ~ RobTalk 09:37, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Convert Rs. to ₹

Revised Summary
Bot criteria Replace Rs. with Rupee symbol, Where — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capankajsmilyo (talk • contribs)
 * 1) Talk Page is tagged with WP India
 * 2) Ignore Citation
 * 3) Ignore Quotation
 * 4) Ignore pages containing names of other countries using Rs.

Discussion

 * This is more complex than that, because more than one country uses rupees and only India uses ₹; other countries use ₨. Any replacement should also use currency, where gives ₹50. I'm not sure this is a bot-suitable task, as it's hard to determine accurately which currency is being referred to in any given circumstance. Relentlessly (talk) 09:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, "Rs" is often used in citations, where it appears as "Rs" in a source's title (and also within URLs). Changing the title of a source so that it does not match the title of the original is a bad idea, and changing a URL breaks the URL. I have seen editors do both, hence my posting here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:05, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Firstly I was talking about Rs. Not Rs, and we can target WP India pages. This way other country's currencies won't be touched. Keeping Rs. as INR is wrong after 2010 -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 15:41, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

 * pages are many that's why we need a bot. Otherwise it could have been done manually. Full list of pages is available on WP India page. If you think wider discussion is required, let's go for it. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 16:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There are a list of all pages covered by the project at WP:INDIA, but not a list of pages that use "Rs". ~ RobTalk 19:06, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This can be done in phased manner starting with WP India pages. Other pages can be targeted later. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 19:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You'll need to do a better job of listing articles for which it is OK to make this change, or a better set of conditions that a bot or script could match. For example, Kelambakkam is part of WP:INDIA, and it contains "Rs.", but that "Rs." should not be changed, because it is in the title parameter of a citation, and that "Rs." appears in the original title of the cited source.
 * Maybe it would also help for you to explain the difference in meaning and usage between "Rs." and "Rs". Many articles about India and sources cited in those articles use "Rs" as an abbreviation. To my eye, "Rs." and "Rs" appear to be interchangeable, a matter of style, rather than indicating a difference in meaning. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:58, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I won't tag it as such because maybe someone more experienced than I will come up with a method, but it appears unlikely to me that we can automate the decision that "Rs." stands for the Indian rupee rather than the Pakistani or other rupees. We can't assume that all pages related to India or even a certain subtopic of India do not contain any information about surrounding nations, and without such an assumption, I doubt we can clearly define what articles to target for this change. That doesn't even mention direct quotes and citations, which pose additional issues as mentioned above. This is likely not a good task for a bot. ~ RobTalk 21:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

 * OK let's resolve it one by one. Since there's a huge quantum of articles we can define certain conditions to make the bot target very specific pages. For eg.
 * WP India pages
 * Rs. Not Rs
 * Ignore content in citation
 * Ignore pages that contain words like Pakistani or Pakistan
 * We can define certain other conditions as well to make the bot more practical and useful. We need a bot to convert Rs. to symbol, the criteria on which it will work is what we can discuss and bring a consensus on.-- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 22:29, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Also: ignore anything in a quotation. Also, the fourth criterion above is not something that can be programmed into a bot; it's not specific enough. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:14, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Signing user: Another Believer "Wiki Love Pride" announcements
Can a bot be set up to go through postings to talk pages about "Wiki Loves Pride" (on June 3 and June 2)? All the announcements (such as this one ) are missing dated signatures, and are thus going to break the archival bots on all these WikiProject talk pages that automatically archive discussions based on a date timestamp. Missing the timestamp, these will not be archived, so will continue to advertise the event well after it is over, becoming useless congestion on the talk pages. -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 04:19, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

the end of .an
On 31 July (that's next Friday!) the top level domain .an (used for the Netherlands Antilles, until their dissolution in 2010) will be terminated, which will result in a significant number of dead links. Most (but not all) domain owners moved to the corresponding Curacao domain (.cw), while keeping the .an page in tact. I'd like a bot to: Would that be doable or am I making a very complicated request? L.tak (talk) 22:04, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * convert all .an links to .cw
 * if possible, check if these .cw domains give a result (any result) and if not: make a list for manual checking....
 * if possible, check if the link on the .an is the exact copy of the link to the .cw site (and make a list of non-conforming links)
 * There are 157 (well 156, I fixed one) links listed here. Easy enough to fix the project ones manually?  (note there are many dead links which will need an archival copy search.)
 * All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC).


 * I think this can be done manually. Is this still needed?  Cyberbot II can also link dead sources to archives when tagged dead.—cyberpower <sub style="margin-left:-10.1ex;color:olive;font-family:Comic Sans MS"> Chat:Online 20:38, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Cyberbot II now adds archives to dead links, as noted above. That takes care of the immediate issue of verifiability. As for the issue of updating with new live URLs, the assumption that all .an domains converted to .cw (rather than someone else snatching the .cw domain) is a fairly strong one. Given the mistakes that would result when the assumption failed and the relatively low number of URLs to check (146 as of now), this portion of the task is not a good task for a bot. ~ RobTalk 03:21, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

UK railway station categories
Last year, a dft_category parameter was added to Infobox GB station. However, still only a minority of railway station articles are using it, although there have been Wikipedia categories for them for much longer.

I am therefore requesting a bot to go through these articles (categories A–C2 have been done manually, and so only D, E, F1 and F2 still need to be done). The action to be performed on each is to add to the infobox, and remove the manually-added category (since the infobox automagically adds the article to the relevant category, and having it there manually as well would create a risk of the two becoming out of sync).

I can see that there are cases that would need to be considered: — Smjg (talk) 17:28, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * pages where the parameter has already been added (in which case the bot shouldn't do anything, except possibly remove the redundant manually-added category if there is one)
 * stations that are in more than one category (in which case the bot should flag them for human attention)
 * redirects and other similar templates (Infobox London station)
 * nested templates that may be present (though if the new parameter is added right at the beginning of the template transclusion this shouldn't be an issue).


 * Unfortunately, I am not fun of categories added via templates/infoboxes in pages. This causes inconsistencies between pages having an infobox and those how don't. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:14, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be WP:TEMPLATECAT. But there are no articles without an infobox for which one of these categories is applicable: every station that has been assigned by the Department for Transport to one of their categories (A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F1, F2) has a Wikipedia article; and every one of those articles has either  or its redirect . -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:37, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Note also that the comment in WP:TEMPLATECAT is merely a recommendation, not a policy. Moreover, the reasons for it don't seem to be applicable here - once this work is complete, these categories will be populated almost entirely through these templates, thereby making it easier to restructure.  Maybe there are still drawbacks to this approach, but I think it is a lesser evil than having to maintain the DfT category in two places in parallel (the infobox and the article categories) and the consequential likelihood of somebody inadvertently updating one but not the other. — Smjg (talk) 14:04, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * It's been nearly 2 months now. Anybody? — Smjg (talk) 17:26, 17 April 2015 (UTC)


 * , I can see why you'd want to do this and it wouldn't be tricky to do. But there are some tricky edge-cases that suggest it's not as simple as you suggest. For instance, United Kingdom railway station categories says that St Pancras railway station is in two categories. I see how the template handles this, but how would the bot know what to do? Relentlessly (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * , I already began to explain this. When the bot stumbles upon an unusual case such as this, it would not alter the article, but flag it for human attention in some way. — Smjg (talk) 22:18, 5 May 2015 (UTC)


 * This has been waiting 5 months now. The backlog is getting worse.  I'd probably try and implement it myself if I had more time to look into the necessary processes (acquiring or developing suitable tools, implementing the bot, getting approval, whatever else) and carry them out.  Can anybody hazard a guess at:
 * what has happened to all the long-time bot authors?
 * what we can do to recruit new bot authors to replace the ones that have disappeared?
 * — Smjg (talk) 16:49, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Century-item redirects
Please could someone do this:


 * 1) For every page or category beginning with a cardinal number (e.g. 17th-, 21st-) century; or articles prefixed "List of..." matching that pattern:
 * 2) Create a redirect from the equivalent title, with no dash
 * 3) Create a redirect from the equivalent title, using words
 * 4) Create a redirect from the equivalent title, using words, with no dash

For example, for the existing Category:20th-century war artists, I just created:


 * Category:20th century war artists
 * Category:Twentieth-century war artists
 * Category:Twentieth century war artists

Other examples matching the above pattern would include:


 * 20th-century music
 * List of 20th-century religious leaders

This might usefully be added to a list of monthly cleanup tasks, for new articles and categories matching the above pattern. Note the overlap with, above. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:35, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

 * As I read it, the CFD thing you quote is in a different context: it's saying "We delete most categories, but if it's a likely mistake, we redirect it instead of deleting it". I don't see it as being at all relevant to the idea of creating the likely mistakes in the first place.  Nyttend (talk) 23:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Except it doesn't say "unless it's a likely mistake" at all. It says "unless people keep actually making the mistake". Anomie⚔ 00:56, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * "Likely" is demonstrated by the fact that people make it, but again, the context is that of deletion versus redirecting, where the category already exists; it doesn't address the request being made here. Nyttend (talk) 01:55, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Request for a list of redirects to specific categories
Hi all, I am currently looking to clean up a series of confusing and unnecessary redirects created for non-notable hockey players. We've already grabbed the low hanging fruit (Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 September 1), but many of these spurious redirects will also fall into a series of articles that numbers about 4000+ pages. Impossible to do by hand. What I would like to request is a list of all redirects pointing to any article in Category:National Hockey League team seasons and it's children, and any article in Category:Ice hockey trophies and awards and it's children. Either as a CSV or as a list in a table on a user subpage. (this may be huge, incidentally.) I will then review and deal with the redirects I believe should be deleted or modified myself. Thanks!

Category Bot

 * This bot is for article pages whereas All included is only for category pages. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 18:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand. If All included is located on a category's page, the category should not be removed from an article even if the article belongs to a subcategory. A bot designed to do this would have to check each category it removes to verify the category doesn't have All included on it. ~ RobTalk 19:36, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not able to get it. Does all include add the category on article or article in category? If first thing is valid than does it appear on the article edit page? Cos this bot will only edit the article content available on edit page. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 19:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * All included is for information and doesn't add any categories by itself. There are cases where we do want an article to appear in a category even if it also appears in one or more of its subcategories. All included is used to document some of these cases. For example, Category:Bridges in New York City contains  which produces:  This means that it's OK for 145th Street Bridge to be in both Category:Bridges in New York City and it's subcategory Category:Bridges in Manhattan. See more at Categorization, and see Categorization for another situation where we want an article to appear in both a category and subcategory. The suggested bot run would make a huge number of category removals against guidelines, and I don't think it's realistic to code a bot to determine when to remove these categories. At best, a bot could produce a long list for human review, but in order to be useful the bot would need to check several things to reduce the number of false positives. It may be difficult to make the bot clever enough for editors to find it worth the time to review the produced list. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:32, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It would be feasible to get a list of all categories that transclude All included and use that as a blacklist of categories not to remove. Alternatively, a continuous run bot could have a whitelist of categories that should not be present if an article is in a subcategory, which editors could add to. I'm just pointing out that there are ways to do this, but this discussion shouldn't continue further here. If someone wishes to pursue this bot, it needs a discussion at the village pump, most likely. ~ RobTalk 22:04, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The Quixotic Potato (talk) 17:58, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply and for compiling this list, Quixotic Potato. I'm sorry, but I don't know very much about AWB. I have listed myself for approval in any case. In your opinion, is it feasible to removal these hundreds of links with this tool? If so, do you think you can give me some basic instructions on what to do? It is probably best that we continue this conversation on my talk page so we don't clog up this bot requests page again as I did earlier. Thanks again and have a great weekend. Cheers, —  Cliftonian   (talk)  18:35, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've started working through this on AWB, but I'm looking at a list of over 2,000 and I'm not even down to the end of "A". A bot would be handy here if anyone could help. Thanks, —  Cliftonian   (talk)  19:23, 4 October 2015 (UTC)


 * , I'd be happy to give it a go if you can clarify precisely what needs doing. Is it going to each of these links above, checking for Israeli and replacing it with Israeli? Relentlessly (talk) 19:59, 4 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks Relentlessly. I've ploughed through quite a few and am now down to "M" with about 1,600 to go on the list. I've been removing the link altogether: have a look in my contributions. Israeli and replacing it with Israeli. If you could make something replicating this I would appreciate it very much. Thanks and have a great week. Cheers, —  Cliftonian   (talk)  20:05, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , can you clarify exactly which articles I should look to fix? Is it pages linking to Israeli Jews? Relentlessly (talk) 20:07, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Relentlessly: yep. Anything with this Israeli construction. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  20:08, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , . Is a bot necessary for this small number? Relentlessly (talk) 20:13, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Relentlessly: Oh. Well perhaps I'll just carry on as I am, then, with AWB. Thanks for the offer of help in any case. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  20:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think that's all of them. Wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be to do it with AWB—just took a couple hours. Thanks to all the above for helping and/or offering to help, issue is resolved now. Cheers. —  Cliftonian   (talk)  21:48, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
