• Is it possible for a bot to remove all [[ and ]]'s around a specific link, eg we have 68 links to the page "Metru Nui", 39 to "Mata Nui (island)", and many other BIONICLE pages we are against the BIONICLE policy here, and they're just sitting there being asked to be created. And it's also clogging up Special:WantedPages. I don't really feel like going through hundreds of pages removing them, so is there a way to do it automatically? Thanks, NovaHawk 12:14, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

It is possible to do that, or to change all of one link to the other. I can do both, but which should I do? Remove the links, or change them? Ajraddatz _Talk 14:48, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

I was going to do this a while back, but I didnt get round to it, I've been busy on Recipes Wiki with my bot recently. (A task that ran other 2 days non stop!) I'll remove them completly --Lcawte 15:29, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much for doing that- good to see the wantedpages fixed up a bit better :) Would this also be able to done to "Windows PC", "Karda Nui", "Order of Mata Nui", "Bara Magna", "PlayStation 2", "PlayStation", "Wii", "BIONICLE society", "List of BIONICLE media", "List of objects in BIONICLE", "BIONICLE Vehicles" and "List of places in BIONICLE" if it isn't any trouble to do so? (It should be just copy/paste some code shouldn't it?) But if it is a lot of work, please don't worry about it- it isn't a huge deal. @Ajraddatz- the idea was just to remove the links for now since we don't want pages on them, I don't know if maybe we should create redirects for sometime in the future for some of them, eg I guess Windows PC could redirect to Video games, but I don't see the need for it really at the moment :S NovaHawk 01:30, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

• Can a bot add [[ and ]] to all cases in the "year" section in the infobox that has "2010" and "2011" and all the other years? Sorry if I haven't explained this properly. User:CaptainJag/sig1 01:36, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Not possible. User:Ajraddatz/sig 14:46, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

• Could one of you guys please get a bot to move pages in "Category:German link" to Category:Pages that link to Legopedia? Thanks, NovaHawk 11:10, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Lcawte will need to do this, my AWB isn't working ATM :S User:Ajraddatz/sig 14:46, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Done by me already.

--Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 15:02, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much :) NovaHawk 04:39, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

• Hi, would you also be able to move Category:Lego media -> Category:LEGO media, and to merge Category:Lego products to Category:LEGO products if it isn't too much trouble? Thanks, NovaHawk 01:00, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Did this one manually. User:Samdo994/sig1 15:16, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Search and Replace: Video Game Appearances

• Can we have a bot to turn == Video game Appearances == into === Video game Appearances === (the amount of ='s). This would save alot of work, in a much shorter space of time. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature 12:07, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
  • Will do this when I get home. User:Ajraddatz/sig 18:09, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
    • Ajr, was this ever done? --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 13:45, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Done. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Request 2

• Can {{videogameminifigure}} somehow be replaced with {{nonLEGOminifigure|videogame}} sometime? The old template is superceded by the more general one. Thanks, NovaHawk 10:21, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • Will do this when I get home. User:Ajraddatz/sig 18:09, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
    • Was this one ever done, if so, please mark it with {{done}} --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 13:46, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
      • Done. Just done this now. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Request 3

• Can we please get a bot to go patrolling around and removing the string <!-- --> (ie our predefined new page template thingy) from every page if it isn't too much trouble? Thanks, NovaHawk 00:20, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

  Haven't managed it from every page, but its currently removing it from the last 500 created pages. - Kingcjc 09:54, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

  I can do this for the rest, when I'm aproved. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Done. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Improvement Drive

Could we remove the Improvement Drive category from all the Creator articles and move them to Belville? It seems it won the nomination, although I suppose the ID is essentially dead.... User:Cligra/Sig

I'll do this when I'm approved. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Done. Got there in the end. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Request 4

• Would it be possible to get a bot to go around and mark any mainspace page redirecting to anything in the custom mainspace for speedy deletion? A lot of people have been accidentally making them in the mainspace, then redirecting them (or other people redirecting them) and not supressing the redirects. Thanks, NovaHawk 22:46, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't think I could do this. Anyones else? User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature
    • Can do this now. I'll have a go. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Done. There were only 14 though. I'll bot-delete if you like, NBS? User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Newsletter Delivery

• As per this, we need a bot to go send a weekly message to people. If I remember right, the BrickPost Delivery Bot used to have a list of people to send it to, and people could opt-out by taking their names off the list. I'd be happy to right the message every week for the bot to send, but yeah... we need a bot. So would it be possible for any of the bot owners to set this up? Thanks, NovaHawk 01:13, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
  • Per the new forum, I could do this. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

New task

Change the price area in Infobox to new system. --User:Crazed Penguin/spook 23:20, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if that can be done by a bot tbh... not mine anyways. User:Ajraddatz/sig 23:34, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

What is the old system vs new system, I haven't been around to see that, but if you tell me I'll give you an opinion on if a bot can do it. --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 13:41, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Old was something like "$US 99.99 / £UK 99.99". New is "{{Price|US=99.99|UK=99.99}}". Problem is the old on varies a lot (just look at some different set articles), so it wouldn't be easy to do with a bot. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

Could more than likely be done with some Regex and a search and replace... --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 10:52, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

(Well regex is the only thing you could use) You think so? I'll leave that regex to you... :D (not very good with regex) User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature

* (none) -> * No known events.

• Any chance of a bot going around Category:Dates and replace the first string in the title with the second? (none) looks tacky, but manually do this makes me feel like I'm doing cheap pointless edits :P NovaHawk 11:04, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
  • MeikoBot is doing this now. --ToaMeiko (talk) 14:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
    • Should be done now. --ToaMeiko (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Move Category:Weapon to Category:Weapons, Category:Template to Category:Templates

• Because they should be plural. I can do it manually, but if it's fast to do with a bot, then I'd rather not :P NovaHawk (talk) 00:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Done. ToaMeiko (talk) 21:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Replace instances of {{Weapon}} with {{Weapon nav}}

• So that {{Weapon infobox}} can be moved to the name Template:Weapon NovaHawk (talk) 00:53, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Done. ToaMeiko (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Move parts to Part namespace

• Could a bot move all parts (ie, pages starting with "Part ") to the Part namespace once the Part namespace has been set up please? (note to self, check Party Table Decoration, Place Card Fabuland Lamb, Party Table Decoration, Place Card Fabuland Rabbit) NovaHawk 00:35, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Bump NovaHawk 07:32, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Done. ToaMeiko (talk) 01:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Move Category:Polybag Sets to Category:Polybag sets

• Thanks, NovaHawk 09:27, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Done. ToaMeiko (talk) 01:46, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
