Discussion
It would be nice to have a discussion within Wikiproject football to link to. People who might be able to raise problems with the automation of this task may not read the bot requests page. I suggest you raise the issue there to see if anyone has any concerns. Gigs (talk) 13:32, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- What does "replace tags" mean? We'll need a lot more detail than that to understand what your proposed bot will do. Which templates will it modify? Which parameters in those templates will it modify? What will it do to the information contained in those parameters? Will it retain the information and rename it under a current parameter, or will it remove the information altogether? Are you aware that another user is already working on this task? —SW— chatter 20:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Of course that I am aware of that but actually that user didn't work on it before I posted this nor announced it here, so I couldn't know it. Perhaps someone should make a bot to watch all the noticeboards around. Petrb (talk) 20:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, Magioladitis' comment was made about 9 hours before you posted this BRFA. —SW— yak 21:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
