Not done

Dutch Wikisource interwiki

Would it be possible that the interwikibots check from time to time the dutch wikisource? 81.11.215.163 12:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC) wolvenraider

How do interwiki bots work for Wikisource? My guess is that most works are given wildly different names in different languages - too wildly for bots to "figure out". John Vandenberg 12:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they want the bots simply to create the symmetric and transitive closure. But even that may not always be canonical, considering differing policies in the various Wikisources.--GrafZahl (talk) 09:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Transition all pages from {{header}} to {{header2}}

There are 16272 pages still using the deprecated {{header}} template. These will be transitioned to {{header2}} by Pathosbot using a dedicated AutoWikiBrowser plugin (source code). —{admin} Pathoschild 00:31:18, 04 May 2008 (UTC)

272 pages done. So far it's handling all variations without difficulty (including redundant symbols, overrides, missing parameters, and nested templates with parameters). —{admin} Pathoschild 04:41:12, 04 May 2008 (UTC)

3336 pages done. One mistake when the bot's delimiting code failed; the bot now stops editing when an unexpected error occurs. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:56:07, 04 May 2008 (UTC)

9524 pages done. One mistake by the bot's delimiting code, fixed. —{admin} Pathoschild 00:42:28, 06 May 2008 (UTC)

16272 done; transition complete. —{admin} Pathoschild 08:39:59, 08 May 2008 (UTC)

More headers for Pathosbot

The Awakening: The Resurrection, What I Believe, thanks Sherurcij ^{(talk) (λεμα σαβαχθανει)} 20:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Please use the recommended title format ("Foo/Chapter X", not "Foo/X"); Pathosbot is still capable of recognizing the chapter numbers. Pathosbot will take care of this tomorrow:

1. Move all pages to the standard title format;
2. soft redirect the old titles;
3. add headers.

—{admin} Pathoschild 06:14:37, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

A few days and a year late, but better than never... Sanbeg (bot) and Suicidalhamster added the headers a while back, I standardized the page names, and Pathosbot updated the links and tagged the redirects. Done. —{admin} Pathoschild 07:37:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Normalize {{textinfo}}

There are 399 pages using {{textinfo}}'s deprecated and unreadable unnamed parameter format (see category). These should be transitioned to the named parameter format. For example:

{{Textinfo|1911 |OCR |? |[[Image:75%.svg]] |Masses of work to be done |[[User:Someone|Someone]] }}

→

{{textinfo | edition = 1911 | source = OCR | contributors = ? | progress = [[Image:75%.svg]] | notes = Masses of work to be done | proofreaders = [[User:Someone|Someone]] }}

—{admin} Pathoschild 22:25:28, 04 May 2008 (UTC)

Assigned to Pathosbot. —{admin} Pathoschild 07:40:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Done (source code, variation of its TemplateEditor plugin). —{admin} Pathoschild 19:59:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Standardize titles and normalize headers: The Confessions of Saint Augustine (Outler)

• Move the subpages to reflect disambiguation of the top page;
• Transition the 'override_author' field to 'author' and 'translator';
• link to the translator's author page, instead of to Wikipedia.

—{admin} Pathoschild 01:42:01, 08 May 2008 (UTC)

Assigned to Pathosbot. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:47:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Done (source code, variation of its TemplateEditor plugin). —{admin} Pathoschild 00:10:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Normalize headers: The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

The headers on The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ have symbols left over from the {{header2}} transition ("<-" was changed to "-"), a redundant author override, and backlinks to the top page should be merged into the title parameter. Having looked through the pages, simply replacing the header will work fine (carrying over the notes parameter where used):

{{header2
 | title    = [[The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ]]
 | author   = Levi H. Dowling
 | section  = {{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}
 | previous = 
 | next     = 
 | notes    = 
}}

—{admin} Pathoschild 23:13:47, 06 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. I reorganized the pages and Pathosbot regenerated the header values (example, source code). —{admin} Pathoschild 04:47:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
