Function details: An AWB regex to remove instances of |name= in {{Infobox television}} when page is in Category:Pages using infobox television with unnecessary name parameter.
My main account is already enabled for AWB, and I have been successfully running this regex on the maintenance category manually. My manual runs included AWB genfixes, but I would not run genfixes in automatic (depending on recommendations in discussions).
