BotPuppet
Operator: Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :D

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic.

Programming Language(s): AWB.

Function Summary: New task: avoid double-redirects.

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

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

Function Details: Basically, I give it a list; say things linking to 2008 Nord-Kivu fighting; and tell it to replace those links with 2008 Nord-Kivu war. Then I let it run and replace stuff using simple parameters (to deal with stuff such as seealso, replace 2008 Nord-Kivu fighting} with 2008 Nord-Kivu War}, and with ] variants so that regular text isn't screwed up too much. Ideally I'd give it 3 or 4 lists. It'll be doing general fixes as well.

 * Still in existence. When I have time I'll scrounge up some lists of substitutable templates and have it run through pages. Double-redirects too. Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :D  08:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
