Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic, unsupervised
Programming Language(s): Perl
Function Overview: Replace all uses of a template with a replacement.
Edit period(s): As needed
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: Replace all transclusions of one template with another (or with several others depending on template parameters, etc), when a template must be renamed. Normally, this will be the result of a TFD, but it could be used for any clear-cut case. It will not be done just to replace a template redirect when the redirect is going to remain.
I figure I may as well get an approval to do this sort of thing in general, instead of just for the specific ((User its)) and ((User bas)) replacement that has been requested. Source is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateReplacer15.pm. Anomie⚔ 05:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
