Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB, insource search. Uses a "simple replace" of the tags.

Function overview: Replacing strike tags with s tags

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): None

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Estimated 9982

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No

Function details: Will run AutoWikiBrowser in automatic mode. Choosing to do this replacing with a s tag instead of del, as I believe that most strike tags used will be used in the context of s anyways. According to Mozzila Web Docs, del is used to represent deleted text. I don't think that this is appropriate for most content here, and that s would do just fine. Open to feedback.

Discussion[edit]

Denied. mostly per WP:CONTEXTBOT. You can not blindly replace <strike> for <s>, as their use is context specific. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
