Forums: Index > Watercooler > Edit bots
Are there really edit bots available to do some grunt work as mentioned here Traveller Wiki Editorial Team#Bots?
My observations of possible automated edits are (in order of perceived difficulty):
- done:
replace http://stellarreaches.nwgamers.org/issues/ with https://stellarreaches.wordpress.com/issues/ - pending: replace
‘’Parameter name = TBDin infoboxes withParameter name = - pending: replace
(defunct)for external links with{{dead link}} - update double redirects by replacing the indirect with the direct link
- replacing duplicate/repeated citations with named references
- check external links and mark defunct links with
{{dead link}}

- There are. There are two parts to a bot. The user (User:AB-101 is our resident bot user) and the code to make the changes. I have a chunk of code to do updates to the wiki and I'll start on these very good suggestions. Tjoneslo (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2020 (EDT)
- Ok, I needed to do some minor updates to get my code to work again because I've not touched it in a while. But I got the Stellar Reaches external links updated. For the "TBD" in the template parameters, I would prefer to work through the articles affected by these by specific groups. And I've started on the "(defunct)" pages. But need more updates to the code. Tjoneslo (talk) 22:29, 11 June 2020 (EDT)
