Changes to bot - June 2024
Morning,

I'm seeking to make a few minor changes to the bot - these have been discussed to an extent at Bot_requests, and on the bots talk page, however I wanted to add these to the approval just so they are logged, given the original scope was somewhat narrow.


 * Change in code location - now at
 * Changing datasource to be retraction watch, see CrossRef Article
 * Add support for Erratum and Expression of concern - these use exactly the same format/structure as the Retracted, so needed minimal code changes.

I believe these are all minor, uncontroversial changes, however wanted to note here and make sure this was not going to be an issue. Regards, Mdann52 (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ping per original approval, and  as BAG member who is farmiliar with edits to date. Mdann52 (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * All fine by me, but I'm the requester, so I'll let another BAG member thumbs up this. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
