Task#2

Xaosflux (talk • contribs • count • logs • page moves • block log • CA • email) (Operator)
Fluxbot (talk • contribs • deleted user contributions • logs • block log • abuse log • CentralAuth • stalktoy) Bureaucrats: user rights management. (Bot)

Note: Fluxbot was previously approved and flagged, but became inactive, so will need to be reflagged. I am not planning on reactivating Task 1 at this time.

This is a bot request for cleaning up routine errors related to Category:Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags. This bot runs under AWB. The primary reason for bot request is to take advantage of nominornewtalk when updating user_talk:. These jobs will be run supervised for general errors, and semi-automatic should a single highly-specific replacement run be made (such as an errant user signature).

This is essentially the same tasks approved on other projects:

w:en:Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Fluxbot 6
commons:Commons:Bots/Requests/Fluxbot (Will be virtually identical to this recent task).

Note that you can't edit the translation pages directly. You have to either fix the translatable page's markup, or identify issues in the translations. Nemo 19:14, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thank you, I am a translation administrator, primarily for that type of update. I am already fixing most of these errors via my user account, but want to avoid triggering the "you have new messages" banner when updating user_talk pages. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:35, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Related note, Category:Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags is a tracking category, and is very slow to update for existing pages in the category. Searches help to identify these pages better in most cases. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:36, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything anyone would like to see to move this forward? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing contribs and tests done at Commons, and considering that this task needs to be performed, I Support this request. Thanks for volunteering.--Syum90 (talk) 14:09, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved and flagged. —Marco Aurelio 20:43, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
