Discussion[edit]

Requesting a expedient approval as this request seems straight forward Hasteur (talk) 05:10, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is consensus at the ((Infobox dam)). Please assist in expediting per Hasteur, as this fairly straightforward and somewhat time critical. Rehman 17:55, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I pasted the missing change list above, does this match what you're doing? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 10:47, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I did update the list based on some changes that Rehman asked for. Hasteur (talk) 14:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] are the ones I've done so far. I had to run under my wiki account because HasteurBot is not authorized for AWB. Hasteur (talk) 14:21, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Trial ought to be under bot's account, so do ask for AWB authorization first then. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. [9] is the set of 20 that I completed. First set of ten I used a 10 second wait period between saves, second set I used a 5 second delay between saves. I think 3 seconds delay is the lowest I'd go as that would have the infobox dam pages finish in a little over 2 hours of execution time. Hasteur (talk) 00:10, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

that link seems to be (now) incorrect, but this one is working for me. seems not all the parameters are being updated, which is probably due to the description not being completely specified? for example, depth, width, ... Frietjes (talk) 15:16, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

D'oh... Yep my contributions-fu is weak. As to some parms not being updates is because I am following the direction in which parms are to be "renamed". Hasteur (talk) 00:56, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

also it looks like you are changing crest_width to dam_elevation_crest? Frietjes (talk) 15:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• As above, |crest_width= -- |dam_elevation_crest= or |dam_width_crest=
• Most edits made multiple |plant_type= params, for example, here the old value is now hidden.
• Is |depth= or |width= not supposed to be on the list too? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by operator. Looks like annother bot came in and did the replacements. I'm withdrawing this request since the base request is fufilled. Hasteur (talk) 14:00, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
