Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): Python (pywikibot)
Source code available:
Function overview: Move pages to remove brackets.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bot requests#Implementing the outcome of Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)#Follow-up RfC on TV season article titles and the RfC linked there
Edit period(s): one time run
Estimated number of pages affected: 7699
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: The bot will move pages based on User:Alex 21/sandbox/NCTV. It will probably also need the page mover right.
Approved for trial (~20 full moves). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. If possible please a) have full season runs (e.g. don't move seasons 1-7 and leave 8-9 hanging), b) split the list between move-over-redirect and those whose targets don't exist yet (if this doesn't allow for hitting exactly 20 moves, that's okay, just get somewhere close + or - of that value). If it's possible, please find at least one page that has a talk page archive(s) to show that subpages can be properly moved as well. Let me know if I need to clarify anything. I'll grant the bot PGM for the duration of the trial. Primefac ( talk) 12:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Approved. I feel like a lot of the "next steps" will be in limbo until this step is complete, so it's probably better to get it done all in one shot rather than string it out too far. Primefac ( talk) 07:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply
