PhotoCatBot 2
Operator: Twp

Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic

Programming Language(s): Python / pywikipedia

Function Summary: Merge reqphotoin template with reqphoto.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one time run

Edit rate requested: 1 epm

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

Function Details:

I have added location-based parameters to the reqphoto template to permit merging it with the reqphotoin template. This both simplifies the template namespace and makes the templates more useful: it is now possible to mark a single photo request with both its subject and location (which before would have required two templates and produced two infoboxes).

This bot will walk the pages linked from Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Reqphotoin and replace any template with. Once that is done I will propose formally merging reqphotoin with reqphoto.
