SvickBOT 6
Operator:

Time filed: 16:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic

Programming language: Python, wikitools

Source code available: Yes

Function overview: Fix the  parameter of stub templates

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): None that I know of

Edit period: Daily

Number of pages affected: Approx. a dozen templates each week

Exclusion compliant: No, shouldn't be necessary

Already has a bot flag: Yes

Function details: When a stub template is moved, or when a new one is created by copying another one, its  parameter has to be fixed. Editors sometimes don't do this, and such templates appear in Category:Stub message boxes needing attention. I have fixed some of those by hand in the past, because it's a simple task and it doesn't happen that often. But because it's a simple task for a bot too, I have made one now. The reason for fixing the parameter is because it's required to show the template documentation, see e.g. . User&lt;Svick&gt;.Talk; 16:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Discussion
So this changes the name parameter to match the name of the template? Seems straight-forward.

 * I have run the bot on the 20 templates that had incorrect names. There aren't more of them for now. User&lt;Svick&gt;.Talk; 17:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Please use a more descriptive edit summary.
