SoxBot
Operator:  Soxred  93 

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Replace all links to the toolserver from to

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

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

Function Details: As some people may know, the Toolserver has been moved from the tools.wikimedia.de domain to the toolserver.org domain. Normally, that would be allright to leave all the old links, but after reading the mailing list posts, I read that the redirect will cause some bots to mess up. I figure that it is better to do it early, before any more links of the type amass. Also, we want people to recognize the new domain.

(Note: I am also sending a link to this BRFA to the mailing list)

 * All links, in each of the namespaces? Alai (talk) 05:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As many as I can do it without any false positives. Changing to manual, will do in my own user account.  Soxred  93  05:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
