Operator: Basilicofresco (msg)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic supervised

Programming Language(s): pywikipedia

Function Overview: .yu top-level domain transition (regex)

Edit period(s): one time run

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No (on it.wiki +90k edits)

Function Details: I performed this correction on italian wikipedia creating a manually-checked list of about 250 domain transitions. This list includes almost all linked websites on it.wiki with a non-.yu working mirror. I checked all deep linked pages on it-wiki, but I did not check for every internal page of every website. For this reason I'm going to replace home page links only.

Discussion

Have you spoken with the owner of MerlLinkBot? He seems to be approaching a very similar task to your own - you might look to join forces, or cover different sections or whatever. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 10:23, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

• What's the status of this bot request? ST47 (talk) 03:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

As Jarry1250 suggested, I asked Merlissimo if he was interested in my list. Few days ago he answered me (on his own discussion page so I didn't read it immediately) to post it on mail:wikibots-l. I just posted it on the mailing list, in this way it will be useful also on other WPs. I also saw MerlLinkBot uses a different (non-regex) approach. At this point I ask the permission to start with some test edits. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 09:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

• Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Yes, I did the that post to wikibots-l. This seems to be well thought out, so please go ahead and make a few test edits. ST47 (talk) 16:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 Done. I performed additional checks upon the list and now it should be pretty safe. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 19:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Trial complete.

I can't see any problems with those. I trust the operator was happy with the results? - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 19:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Approved. Didn't see any comments on the users talk page wrt this bot task, nor on BON, edits seem fine Q ^{T C} 22:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
