DumZiBoT 3
Operator: NicDumZ ~

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Python (standard pywikipedia)

Function Overview: .yu top-level domain transition

Edit period(s): One time run, plus probably a couple of small runs once the list has been refined.

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

Function Details: python replace.py -namespace:0 -fix:yu-tld -weblink:*.yu

This is a really simple set of string replacements to correct big .yu websites. As of now the replacements were established mostly by User:Nikola Smolenski and are:

but I'm adding site replacements whenever I find a big set of .yu websites.

Discussion
I made a few edits to show the intended behavior.

This set of changes is really simple and uncontroversial. I know how "simple" unapproved changes on en: can easily lead to misunderstandings in the community, so I am filling formally this request for official authorization.

But please make this quick =P

 * You're not going to believe that. I came home, and launched a trial run, with the idea of interrupting the bot after 20 edits or so. But... long, hard day, lot of (real-life) things to do, combined with the impression that this script was really safe... I just completely, complety forgot to stop it. I went to bed with my bot running through the whole wiki.
 * ... Starting a BRFA, and go on with the task without its formal approval... It's called wasting my own time, and not complying with the rules I was trying to comply with. Grr.
 * Sorry :/ NicDumZ ~  02:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Done in r6416, thanks. NicDumZ ~  03:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

. It took me time to understand that someone was expecting me to put this template here. Things have changed... NicDumZ ~  03:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Looks ok to me with code fixes. As always remember to be responsive to concerns, yadda yadda.  MBisanz  talk 07:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
