Yobot 14
Operator: Magioladitis

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, supervised

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB is open source. I can provide my settnigs file if asked.

Function overview: Moving HATNOTES on the top per WP:LAYOUT and WP:HNP to help accessibility and navigation

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Various discussions in various places show that this is a wanted task.

Edit period(s): Often

Estimated number of pages affected: ~3,000 articles in first run.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

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

Function details: I ll run throught articles trancluding DABlinks. I ll use a custom module created for AWB and perform genfixes only if a DABlink and/or HATNOTE has to move on the top. AWB will do the rest.

In in intention is to have auto0tagger activated too. If I am asked I can disactivate it.

 * (25 April 2010 21:48-22:14) caused probably because they are two DABlinks on the top. I;ll try to find a way to avoid this. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The general fixes part of AWB needs to be carefully tuned before a large run is made. The controversial things (removing stub tags, rearranging reference order) need to be disabled if they would otherwise be turned on. The non-controversial general fixes (dashes, nbsp, etc.) are fine, of course, as is the specific task. It's just a few of the extra "general fixes" that can be controversial, but which are not actually necessary to carry out the task at hand here. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 22:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, with the way we have stub tagger set I think there is no issue anymore with that. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks – I never really understood whether that was enabled by default or not. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 23:05, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I can ask for a way to disactivate ref reordering in bot mode. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:53, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Since it's your bot, you could just comment out that line and recompile. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 11:43, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I 'd prefer not to hack the code. One of my tasks is to improve AWB too. I 'll do it only if there is no other alternative. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:51, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure; adding this as a general option in AWB would be better. There had been some discussion about it, but I don't know if it got anywhere. Above, I was just just saying that, in the end, a bot operator is the one in control of the code they run, since they can always just edit it to do whatever they want. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Has the problem with Acts of the Apostles been resolved? Josh Parris 14:31, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. Let me check. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

The bot general fixes, if it can be implemented and practical use agreed, will take some time. For the moment it's easy enough to run a genfixes custom module with only the genfixes you need enabled. Rjwilmsi 18:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with the above example is that AWB thinks it performed a move because they are two DABlinks already on the top or because they are changes in whitespace (This comment is more for me and Rjw so we make a more solid solution than the one I give below). -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that a "no"? Josh Parris 04:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed now. I had only to activate "Skip if only genfixes". The move is done by a custom module. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
