WikiCleanerBot 26
Operator:

Time filed: 15:36, Sunday, April 18, 2021 (UTC)

Function overview: Cleanup for some articles from category Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub (especially algorithm 567)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Twice a month

Estimated number of pages affected: A dump analysis returned 315 pages in CHECKWIKI/WPC 567 dump (direct uses of formatnum in articles). A dry run on this list reports 170 edits.

Namespace(s): Main, File

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The idea is to start fixing some errors reported by category Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. I've currently developed the part to fix direct uses of formatnum, and already ran it on frWP (pages fixed). I will maybe add later the ability to fix some indirect uses (through a template parameter) because it's the most part of the errors reported in the category.
