Function details:

Gastropods project is requesting a bot to update articles under the clades, Heterobranchia and Nudipleura. Here is the plan of action,


 * 1) Load AWB with a list of articles under Category:Nudipleura using recursive category search function (753 pages)
 * 2) Use Find and Replace to look for
 * "informal group Opisthobranchia" and replace with "clade Euthyneura"
 * "opisthobranch gastropod mollusk" and replace with "gastropod mollusk"

Here is an example of the change. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 16:35, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I had to adjust my settings to handle two variations, "mollusk / mollusc" and "opistobranch / opisthobranch" for future runs. The bot request link was also incorrect on the edit summary. I will include these in the full run. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 23:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems to be OK. In Arminoidea was not changed the intro, maybe because the intro is in plural. --Snek01 (talk) 00:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That was because "mollusc" was not in search criteria. I will include it in the full run. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 01:42, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I handled the two variations in this run. No issues. I ran into one other variation, " informal&nb sp;group&nb sp;Opisthobranchia ". I made 10 additional edits to test this variation (the last 10). Thanks. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 01:44, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
