Fairly trivial. Rich Farmbrough, 16:13 2 March 2007 (GMT).
- Ok one question, how do you plan on getting the list of items? Do you plan on iterating through the cleanup category? If so may I suggest a faster method (should allow you to increase your edit speed). Take the intersection of the whatlinks here for both {{cleanup}} and {{disambig}}. Whatever is in both of those, run your bot on. Of course you would double check that the page really does have those templates. Just a thought as to speed up your bot. —— Eagle101 Need help? 20:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- The intersection method is what I used. I then used a set up that checked the presence of tags and made the appropriate changes. Since there were only 40 items, I did them by hand. However approval would still be appreciated for ongoing changes. Rich Farmbrough, 13:44 13 March 2007 (GMT).
