The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. The result of the discussion was Approved.

Operator: Anomie⚔

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Replace obsolete {{Film needs cast section}}, {{Filmimage}}, and {{Film needs synopsis}} templates (and redirects).

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one-time

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

Function Details: Per request, the bot will replace {{Film needs cast section}}, {{Filmimage}}, and {{Film needs synopsis}} with the corresponding need-X parameters to {{Film}}. On the pages it edits for this reason, the bot will also bypass redirects to {{Film}}, remove the obsolete parameters importance, attention, auto, and portal[12345]-name, and check the numbering on any banner shells in case that needs updating.

Discussion

Note that the bot will not go through all 54333 uses of {{Film}} looking for parameters to remove or redirects to bypass; it will only take these actions on pages it is already editing to remove the three named templates. This is a straightforward variation of my TemplateReplacer code. Source is here. Anomie⚔ 03:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
