Operator:

Time filed: 22:58, Wednesday, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Substitute wrapper templates to implement complex merger of Infobox Country Asian Games into Infobox country at games

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): TFD

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 734

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: There are 51 templates that call Infobox Country Asian Games. These templates, as well as IB Country Asian Games, have been modified so that substituting the transclusion on an article will result in the proper output of infobox country at games. As all of these templates follow the same Infobox Asian Games X nomenclature, I will be replacing  with.

Discussion
Note that AnomieBOT can handle simple template substitution tasks by placing the templates into Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted (and, if there are more than 100 existing transclusions, adding them to User:AnomieBOT/TemplateSubster force).

 * , while this is true, wouldn't it involve putting all 51 templates onto the subst list? Primefac (talk) 23:23, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably. Anomie⚔ 23:28, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, easier than 700 edits.
