DannyS712 bot 70
Operator:

Time filed: 19:53, Thursday, April 9, 2020 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Replace use of outdated syntax highlighting syntax

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): T241636, T237267

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: ~9500 for source tags, unknown number for enclose but fewer

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

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

Function details: Per T237267, using "source" instead of "syntaxhighlight" is being deprecated and will be removed.This is a cosmetic edit in that the output shouldn't change, but is not prohibited under the policy because it will have a result in the end (source tags will eventually be removed, and if not replaced ahead of time won't work). Next week the patch that adds tracking categories for the uses will go live, and it should be clearer what the scope is in terms of number of edits.

 * Planning to take a look at this one. If another BAG member wants to take this BRFA and this comment is more than a day old or so, feel free to take it instead. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like has been doing this manually. Is it still a problem that needs fixing (i.e. they just did a handful) or is the task complete? Primefac (talk) 21:51, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Category:Pages using deprecated source tags is currently at 2793, and caching issues mean that the actual number may be higher DannyS712 (talk) 22:33, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
