Approval for Wikipedia: WP bot page for MandelBot

Notices will be made in advance of any run, and runs shall only be conducted on non controversial proposals.

Upcoming Runs

• 2009-04-24: Complete conversion of ((birth-year)) to ((birth-date)), and Death-year to Death-date. This run was approved in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MandelBot
  • Motivation: Birth-year (a function by J JMesserly) that called Birth-date is obsolete. Since birth-date can now handle this function, convert all instances of usage and request delete. This conversion is fully supported by its author and is regarded as a maintenance procedure to remove obsolete templates. For identical reasons, it will convert all Death-year to Death-date.
  • This run should be uncontroversial since it is in the same template family by the same author, initiated by the author of both templates. Expected run date 2009-04-21 unless objection is registered.

• • Announcements made on Bot Requests and Biography project page, also special note to individuals who take special note of such manipulations.
