Sagabot #2
Operator: Sagaciousuk

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Both

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Replacing wiki links to an article that was moved - 88 pages to change.

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

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per min

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

Function Details: An article was moved (as part of a disabiguation, where the person who moved the article did not fix the links), and I wish to use AWB to change the links for the 88 pages that point to the old article location. I've setup the bot so it will pickup the wikilink in any form, and replace it appropriately.

how is this done in AWB? Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 21:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's done using the Find & Replace function. I've loaded a list of all pages that link to the old page, and setting AWB to change & [[ Tags| to [[ Tag (metadata)| combined with [[ tags to tags &  Tags to Tags - covers all instances. --Sagaciousuk (talk) 21:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
