description

Pathosbot uses heuristic regex patterns to perform several distinct maintenance operations: Replace artifact template code with the visible output. – supports: ParserFunctions, magic words, parameters, old modifiers, and HTML comments. – example: replaces "{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|User|{{{username|{{{1|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}" with "Pathosbot". Update old template calls (20). – example: replaces "{{pagemovevandal}}" with "{{indefblockeduser}}". Reverse substitution of user block templates (8). – note: this feature depends on a signature pattern unique to the given template, and theoretically matches all revisions. Detect and fix template redundancy. – example: replaces "{{indefblockeduser}}{{sockpuppetProven|fuu}} {{imposter|fuu}}{{attackuser-m|fuu}}" with "{{sockpuppetProven|fuu}}". Correct IP address categorization. – example: replaces "{{indefblockeduser}}" with "{{indefblockedip}}". Correct non-standard XHTML. – example: replaces "<font color="#FF00AA;">blah</font><br>" with "<span style="color:#F0A;">blah</span><br />".
