Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB, replacement strings are posted in User:MalnadachBot/Task 2
Function overview: Fix high priority Lint errors caused by 50 specific user signatures.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Same function as Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MalnadachBot but for different signatures
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: 84,500
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: This task is a continuation of
Task 1 but for different signatures. All 50 selected user signatures that are listed in
User:MalnadachBot/Task 2 cause a high priority Lint error. The first 3 signatures give
misnested tag with different rendering in HTML5 and HTML4 error and the others give
old behaviour of link-wrapping font tags error. If the signature uses the obsolete <font>
tag, it will be converted to CSS. This will also fix
obsolete html tag Lint error in relevant signatures. The number of pages in which these signatures are present range from a few hundred to several thousand, totaling about 84,500 pages. This bot task when completed will fix approximately 250,000 Lint errors.
Would you consider fixing the following signature?
'''''— [[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850 (Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue"> '''''</span><sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup>
replaced with
'''''— [[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850 (Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue"> </span>'''''<sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup>
The last span tag moves inside the bold/italic markup, fixing a misnesting error. There appear to be about 2,700 instances. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 00:29, 17 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Have these 50 users been notified of this? – SD0001 ( talk) 09:05, 19 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (200 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Try to include each of the 50 sigs in the trial run. – SD0001 ( talk) 20:22, 19 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Approved for extended trial (5,000 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Looking perfect so far. Let's see if any issues arise in the extended trial. If not, I think this can be approved in general for high-priority signature lint fixes without restriction on the set of signatures fixed. – SD0001 ( talk) 19:25, 22 June 2021 (UTC) reply
Approved. for fixing all lint errors in signatures containing high-priority lint errors. No need to open new BRFAs for fixing more signatures, though you may want to continue doing the record-keeping in userspace as you've been doing thus far. – SD0001 ( talk) 14:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC) reply
