AnomieBOT 26
Operator: Anomie⚔

Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic, unsupervised

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Overview: Replace all uses of a template with a replacement.

Edit period(s): As needed

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: Replace all transclusions of one template with another (or with several others depending on template parameters, etc), when a template must be renamed. Normally, this will be the result of a TFD, but it could be used for any clear-cut case. It will not be done just to replace a template redirect when the redirect is going to remain.

Discussion
I figure I may as well get an approval to do this sort of thing in general, instead of just for the specific User its and User bas replacement that has been requested. Source is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateReplacer15.pm. Anomie⚔ 05:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * As long as there is sufficient consensus before any edits are made, I can't see why you should have to come back to BRFA every time. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 19:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
