conversation[edit]
- 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)
- Thank you!¡ —¿philoserf? (talk) 09:11, 12 June 2020 (EDT)
