Bikabot
Operator: Bikasuishin (talk).

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Supervised automatic.

Programming Language(s): Perl, using the perlwikipedia framework.

Function Summary: help bring the existing Anime and manga articles in compliance with the new guidelines regarding demographic tags in Animanga infoboxes, as described in Wikipedia talk:MOS-AM.

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

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute at most.

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

Function Details: this is the first task of a projected two-pass update of ANIME articles. It operates as follows: I drafted what I think is a reasonably complete implementation of this task at User:Bikabot/Source/pass1.pl, if you would like to review it.
 * Go through every article transcluding the Template:Infobox animanga/Header template.
 * If a demographic tag is present, remove it, and copy it back to each manga sub-box as appropriate.
 * Otherwise, add an empty demographic tag to each manga sub-box.
 * (Added) Unconditionally add an empty demographic tag to each novel sub-box.
 * Log every change, as well as all pages that couldn't be changed due to a failure in parsing or the presence of several conflicting demographic tags.

 * Thanks. Trial run done and logged. Bikasuishin (talk) 14:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Is it reasonable to expect approval by the end of the week, while I'm most available to supervise the main run?
 * Additionally, due to some developments at Wikipedia talk:MOS-AM, I'd like to request permission for another task very similar to a subset of what is described above, namely adding empty demographic tags not only to manga boxes not otherwise dealt with, but also to novel boxes. Would that be OK? Bikasuishin (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, go ahead and modify this request. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 12:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Bikasuishin (talk) 13:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the trial run is satisfactory. Mind reviewing it so that the main run can be launched? Bikasuishin (talk) 12:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
