User:BotFlightGear

This user account is a bot operated by Gijs.

This is a legitimate alternative account, used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.

Please post to this bot's talk page if you like to request it to perform a certain task.

Tasks

A small selection of tasks the bot performed in the past.

To check whether all external links in one article are still valid:

weblinkchecker.py Page title

redirect.py double

Replace a string by another string.

replace.py "Text to remove" "Text to add"

To remove an entire line, add \r\n:

replace.py "\r\nRemove this line" ""

Remove the category tag from all pages in a specific category, basically deleting the entire category.

category.py remove

Renaming a category requires editing all articles listed in that category. An excellent job for a bot!

category.py move -from:"Old category" -to:"New category"
