Bot to handle the following request https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_requests#New_French_regions_on_1_January. Have been discussing it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AHeneen#help_with_info_box_renaming and here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_talk:Wikidata#Suggested_test_case:_New_French_Regions. The code can be found at https://github.com/utilitarianexe/wiki_france_region_rename.
The current state of the bot just removes the unused region and department parameters from Template:Infobox French commune on French commune articles on the english wiki as these are now calculated in the template. Not quite as glamorous as originally intended but at least the next version of me will not be as confused.
