Time filed: 00:44, Monday September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Change {{Cleanup}} to {{Cleanup-university}} or {{Cleanup-school}}. The more specific templates have links to guidelines for cleaning up university/school articles, which will hopefully encourage editors to cleanup the articles, and eventually remove the maintenance template altogether.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): One time run for each, then smaller runs as needed.

Estimated number of pages affected: hundreds

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Use AWB's find & replace functionality to do the following:

• For all articles with {{Infobox university}}, change {{Cleanup}} to {{Cleanup-university}}.
• For all articles with {{Infobox school}}, change {{Cleanup}} to {{Cleanup-school}}.
• Change either the template (e.g. this edit) or the parameter in {{Multiple issues}} (e.g. this edit)

Any AWB general fixes will be made at the same time.

Discussion

I apologize profusely for doing my test edits on User:BattyBot instead of User:GoingBatty. Each test edit was manually supervised, and should not be counted in any trials. As soon as I realized my mistake, I stopped immediately and filed this request. GoingBatty (talk) 00:52, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

No worries. Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. MBisanz ^talk 00:50, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Trial complete. - 25 for {{cleanup-university}} and 25 for {{cleanup-school}}. Future edit summaries will be changed from "((cleanup-university}}" to "{{cleanup-university}}" or "{{cleanup-school}}". GoingBatty (talk) 03:46, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 Approved. MBisanz ^talk 02:17, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
