AnomieBOT
Operator: Anomie⚔

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Replace with

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One-time

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

Function Details: Per request at Wikipedia talk:VG, the bot will replace (and ) with, or just remove the Nintendo banner if the WPVG banner is already on the page. It will also add the taskforce parameter  (or  /, as needed) to the WPVG template if that parameter is not already in place.

Since it is editing the WPVG template anyway, it will also canonicalize any -redirects (such as ) to, and it will renumber the parameters of or  if the removal of the Nintendo project banner necessitates that.

Discussion
This is essentially the same code as was approved at Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 2, just updated to be slightly more generic and with the taskforce-parameter-adding section enabled. The code is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateReplacer2.pm, and the diff from the approved code is here. Anomie⚔ 01:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
