User:Template namespace initialisation script

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Tim Starling (talk | contribs) at 02:32, 4 June 2004 (more detailed description). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This user is a bot that is involved in the conversion from the Wikipedia:MediaWiki namespace to the Template namespace. This bot operates in three phases:

  1. Before the conversion to MediaWiki 1.3, it creates redirects from Template pages to MediaWiki pages. This is so that includes will keep working after the conversion.
  2. After the switch, it moves everything in MediaWiki which is not an internal message to Template
  3. Then it works through all the articles converting the inclusion syntax and fixing links

Like the conversion script and MediaWiki default script, the user ID of this bot is zero, so its contributions are treated as though it were an anonymous user.

Special:Contributions/Template namespace initialisation script.
