Function overview: Fix citations in Category:CS1 maint: unrecognized language
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Category:CS1 maint: unrecognized language
Edit period(s): Daily
Estimated number of pages affected: 100+
Namespace(s): Mainspace, Drafts
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Fix citations in Category:CS1 maint: unrecognized language by changing the |language=
parameter, such as:
- Change foreign languages to English (e.g. ingles → English, français → French)
- Fix abbreviations (e.g. eng/engl → en)
- Use commas when more than one language (e.g. English/German → English, German)
- Remove wikilinks (e.g. Tagalog → Tagalog)
This bot will not be able to fix all issues with the |language=
parameter, but fixing the easy issues should make it easier for humans to identify those that need manual fixing. Also run AWB's general fixes when fixing the |language=
parameter. GoingBatty (talk) 04:14, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

edit Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Seems reasonable. While I'd like to see a few of each type of hit, I realise that this isn't a huge maintenance category and so there might not be specific fixes to be fixed.

Trial complete. See these 50 edits. I fixed all the pages with the patterns above, plus a few more patterns I found analyzing the pages in the category starting with A-R. GoingBatty (talk) 19:33, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
