Function details: From RonBot 10's BRFA:

"From bot request - User:JL-Bot/Questionable.cfg and User:JL-Bot/Citations.cfg have a lot of entries. The botreq is simply to take every section and alphabetized them (case insensitive), strip linebreaks, and remove exact duplicates (case sensitive)"

This is a takeover using the same source code and only to be run so long as is gone, unless requested otherwise by Ron.

Discussion
(1 full run) I'm involved, but this is so trivial a task that no one would care, and I'm about the only person affected by this. Trial granted for one full run. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:11, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

 * It wasn't in the code I picked up per your request. I will look into it asap, but it is getting far too late tonight. -- The SandDoctor Talk 07:31, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to re-run the bot on these pages. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:43, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * For User:JL-Bot/Publishers.cfg, it just happened that the bot never touched that page because I asked Ron to do that after he disappeared. But for that one, just run the same code you ran on User:JL-Bot/Questionable.cfg.
 * For User:JL-Bot/Citations.cfg, it's possible because the page was 'clean'. I added a test case that should get picked up.
 * There also seems to be some issues with inline category sorting. It should basically be  . This is possible a bug in the original code.
