Operator: Android Mouse

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): C

Function Summary: The bot will add 'place=top' to trivia tags at the top of the article.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run

Edit rate requested: 7 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: It will only add this parameter to articles that have the trivia template before the first occurance of "==" (the first section that is). This allows the template to use a different wording, instead of saying "This section" which is incorrect if it refers to the entire article. The bot will only need to tag around 450 articles which have already been identified. The orginial discussion and suggestion for this bot can be found Template talk:Trivia#Bot request for articles with template at top, which has caused no objections. A sample bot edit can be seen here [1].
