RustyBot
Operator:

Time filed: 20:06, Monday, June 10, 2024 (UTC)

Function overview: Fixing MassMessages with syntax errors

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: uses pywikibot replace.py

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): See below, function details

Edit period(s): one-time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 760

Namespace(s): User talk

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Per 1228340035 a GOCE mass message was sent with a syntax error. I'm planning on using pwb's replace.py to fix this on the affected pages, by running the bot on the pages that WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Mailing List links to.

This task number might be reused by me for future mass-fixing of syntax errors. As a straightforward operation, I'd like to see approval for future mass-message syntax error fixing, if possible.

Discussion
For the record, I am not viewing this as anything other than fixing this singular MassMessage issue, as it is the very first task for this bot. Primefac (talk) 15:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
