FrescoBot 15
Operator:

Time filed: 06:37, Tuesday, July 20, 2021 (UTC)

Function overview: now and then some websites migrate domain or change the path structure of the website and break our links. When the change affects just a prefix of the complete url then update is trivial and straightforward. The idea is to perform these kind of url migrations.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): python

Source code available: standard pywikipedia

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): I already performed a similar task in the past, Bots/Requests for approval/FrescoBot 1

Edit period(s): as needed

Estimated number of pages affected: eg. 1729 for http://www.ariacharts.com.au

Namespace(s): mainly articles, but few edits could affect as well files, portals and drafts.

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): yes

Function details: NB. I will not change archive urls. (eg. https://web.archive.org/web/201638/https://www.parmuziku.lv/zinas/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661)
 * urls with the prefix https://www.ariacharts.com.au/annual-charts will be updated to the prefix https://www.aria.com.au/charts (eg. https://www.ariacharts.com.au/annual-charts/2019/singles-chart will become https://www.aria.com.au/charts/2019/singles-chart)
 * urls with the prefix https://www.parmuziku.lv/zinas/ will be updated to the prefix https://www.parmuziku.lv/muzikas-zinas/ (eg. https://www.parmuziku.lv/zinas/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661 will become https://www.parmuziku.lv/muzikas-zinas/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661
 * urls with the prefix https://www.parmuziku.lv/jaunumi/ will be updated to the prefix https://www.parmuziku.lv/muzikas-zinas/ (eg. https://www.parmuziku.lv/jaunumi/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661 will become https://www.parmuziku.lv/muzikas-zinas/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661
 * other similar url migrations in the future

Discussion
Potentially dumb question, but is this task not suitable for a WP:URLREQ, or is this bot intended to be a supplement to that page? Primefac (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, actually I could help to solve requests at WP:URLREQ. I often take care of similar issues on it.wiki. -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 21:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have any other question? Should I start with some test edits? -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 21:37, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi! After +2 weeks without any question or doubt I guess we can move on. --  Basilicofresco  (msg) 09:11, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Let's see how it works, !ɘM γɿɘυϘ  ⅃ϘƧ  22:22, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅, here are the test edits. Few noteworthy examples:
 * Example of fix for parmuziku.lv
 * Different kind of fixes for aria.com.au (annual chart vs. end-of-decade-chart)

 * Hello again! Is there any question? Doubt? Request? BAG assistance needed -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 16:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I miss the point that I had to place by myself. --  Basilicofresco  (msg) 11:36, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This brfa process is just taking longer than expected... -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 16:23, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
