Bot tasks

[edit]

The main tasks for this bot is to assist in redundant edits for WikiProject Digimon Systems Update and WikiProject List of Television Episodes. Such tasks may include:

  • Basic text replacement
For example, going through articles in Category:Digimon and finding common mistakes specific to digimon articles, such as proper placement of English and Japanese terms and names
  • Updating links
  • Category maintenance
  • Template maintenance, such as going through articles and renaming a template parameter or adding one
I try to avoid these changes in the first place, as it sort of defeats the purpose of a template to have to re-edit all the articles using the template
