ZackBot 6
Operator:

Time filed: 23:32, Wednesday, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Ruby

Source code available: User:ZackBot/model cleanup

Function overview: Remove deprecated parameters from transclusions of Infobox model

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Template talk:Infobox model. Note that the parameters being removed from transclusions were removed from the template in May 2016.

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Approx 1,100 (Category:Pages using infobox model with deprecated parameters)

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Very simple. This bot will go through all the pages in the category and remove the deprecated parameters. Will ONLY affect code within the Infobox. I'm currently doing it by hand but it is slow going even with some javascript assistance for quick find/replace. This seems like a prime candidate for a maintenance task IMHO.
