Discussion[edit]

• This looks like a straightforward task to me. It wwill be helpful if the edit summary points to this BRFA. Will the search be case-insensitive so that it correctly catches both |ASIN= and |asin= (and the same for ISBN)? – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:08, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's case insensitive, yes. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:40, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. @Xaosflux: done. See 40 most recent edits. No error to report, although I was operating semi-automatically with slightly more aggressive rules than I'd operate automatically (e.g. it looked inside {{reflist}} / {{quote box}}, etc. when it wouldn't do that during an automated run. This is currently unsafe because of T159958.) However I didn't have to modify anything the bot would not have touched during an automated run.

This one is technically cosmetic, but unavoidable due to the way AWB is coded. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:48, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
