Programming language(s): Perl
Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/PageCreator3.pm
Function overview: Create redirects from Regional Indicator Symbol pairs to the corresponding flag article.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 118#Redirects for ALL emoji flags
Edit period(s): One-time run
Estimated number of pages affected: 237
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes
Function details: Using a list derived from that created by Robin0van0der0vliet, AnomieBOT II will create redirects from Regional Indicator Symbol pairs, which are displayed as small flag images on many mobile devices, to the corresponding "Flag of X" article. If a page already exists at any of the RIS titles, the page will not be altered.
Note AnomieBOT II is being used for this task, as that account has the "templateeditor" group which will allow it to override the entries on MediaWiki:Titleblacklist preventing creation of these titles. Anomie⚔ 17:17, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
