Bot1058
Operator:

Time filed: 20:27, Friday January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available:

Function overview: Bad link repair, replace: Log entry for the Spam blacklist → Log entry for the MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Bot requests/Archive 58, User talk:Beetstra

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: over 16,800

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No

Function details: The AWB list source is What links here (All NS) what links to Spam blacklist/Log. This needs fixed as it is was a policy-violating cross-namespace redirect. I filter for WikiProject Spam/Local/, which is the vast majority of the pages. After successfully running this bot task, I may be able to manually clean any that are remaining. Pages matching this criteria will have a normal settings find & replace: Find:Log entry for the Spam blacklist Replace with:Log entry for the MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. I have set up AWB to perform this task and here is a successful manual test edit. I don't know whether AWB is exclusion compliant by default. If it is, then the answer to "Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):" above should be changed to yes. Not that it matters as none of these pages should be tagged to be excluded.
