Automatic or Manual: Automatic unsupervised

Programming language(s): C#

Source code available: N

Function overview: Move links from author/editor fields to author/editorlink=

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 42#Citation template authorlink generation

Edit period(s): Manually run

Estimated number of pages affected: Unsure, not too many Per trial I can see this is relatively common

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

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

Function details:

If |first= and |last= set; and |author= and |authorlink= not set

If |first= is a piped wikilink and |last= is text

Strip wikilink from |first= and move to |authorlink=

If |last= is a piped wikilink and |first= is text

Strip wikilink from |last= and move to |authorlink=

If |author= set; and |first=, |last=, and |authorlink= not set

If |author= is a wikilink

Strip wikilink from |author= and move to |authorlink=

The logic is applied to numbered fields as well: |author=, |author1=, |author2= .. |author8=; as well as |editor=, |editor-first=, |editor-last=, |editor-link= group and numbered fields thereof.

See example of all cases.

Discussion

There's a very minor issue with the example edit - the bot adds in a space before the |authorlink= field. Once that's sorted (should be a fairly simple fix): Approved for trial (50). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - EdoDodo ^talk 15:18, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Made the bot respect the most commonly used whitespace separator in the citation: [1]. Doing trial now. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:23, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Perfect. - EdoDodo ^talk 16:23, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Trial complete. Should be around 50 pages done with this task only for easier review. Fixed a few bugs encountered. Otherwise, seems fine. I'll keep reviewing and spot-checking the edits for a while as usual. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:04, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

 Approved. The edits look alright, with the exception of the bugs which we discussed over IRC and you fixed. - EdoDodo ^talk 20:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
