RoboMaxCyberSem 5
Operator:

Time filed: 22:51, Wednesday January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Correct coord template invocations.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): ---

Edit period(s): one-time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Thousands

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yup

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

Function details: So far I've identified one vast class of mistakes: some bot, while adding coordinates to US settlement articles, added them in format °N, °W, while it should have been °N, °W. The former format is not recognised by GeoHack and will not be recognised by the GeoData extension WMF is planning to roll out soonish. Since I'm changing the article anyway, I will also replace old b/c redirects like coor dms with direct coord calls.
