JCW-CleanerBot 3
Operator:

Time filed: 04:04, Sunday, December 10, 2017 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available:

Function overview: Remove italics title from pages with Infobox journal and Infobox magazine on them. The functionality is already provided by the infobox so is redundant. While this is technically WP:COSMETICBOT, the double-italics thing can confuse people and gets copy-pasted in other articles because of highly-visible pre-2010 leftovers. It also causes issues if no is set, since there's a clash, and the article title will remain italicized. I plan on running this with genfixes enabled.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Magazines
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic Journals
 * Village pump (technical)

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: One time run, ~715 articles for Infobox journal, ~433 for Infobox magazine

Namespace(s): Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Find, replace with nothing. Running only on pages with Infobox journal and Infobox magazine

Discussion

 * This needs discussion at an appropriate WikiProject (or Village Pump). Gaining consensus shouldn't be done at the BRFA itself. ~ Rob 13 Talk 14:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you start a discussion at the Village Pump per the above? We need affirmative consensus (or at least an attempt to gain one) to satisfy COSMETICBOT. ~ Rob 13 Talk 15:52, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Just noting I haven't forgotten about this. I'd usually approve a trial about now, but VPT has been low-activity due to the holiday week. If there's still no opposition there several days from now, I'll approve a trial. ~ Rob 13 Talk 07:21, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
