Time filed: 01:48, Monday September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Replace links to redirected portals (e.g. Portal:People's Republic of China with Portal:China)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Less than 500

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Per the bot request, change {{Portal|People's Republic of China}} → {{Portal|China}}.

If approved, this bot will run in mainspace as well as the Category and Portal spaces. GoingBatty (talk) 01:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As usual, the bot would also make general fixes while changing the portal. GoingBatty (talk) 01:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded this request to handle any redirected portal, such as {{Portal|Republic of China}} → {{Portal|Taiwan}}. GoingBatty (talk) 20:01, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: ((BotTrialComplete)) - see these diffs. I expanded this request to also include {{Portal bar}} and {{Subject bar}}. GoingBatty (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:14, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: Thanks, but it appears you completed almost all of these changes without a bot. GoingBatty (talk) 22:07, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GoingBatty check if I missed anything please. I am off town so it was a boring task just to pass my time clicking save. :) Sorry if I spoiled the fun. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:47, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
