Discussion[edit]

If you're going to edit some infoboxes, feel free to look at User:Headbomb/sandbox#Proposed_logic to add some additional fixes while you're at it. Completely optional though. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:40, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Headbomb: Do have AWB regex find-and-replace rules for the proposed logic? I'd be happy to try to add the additional fixes, but I'm not sure I can code them myself. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:43, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nope! None whatsover! Many of those are probably hard to AWB-ize, but I figured people more clever than I am exist, so I thought I'd mention it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:45, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Headbomb: Then for now, I'd prefer to run this task without extra rules - I think its pretty straightforward, and can just run overnight without supervision - if I added those rules, I'd want to supervise some of each rule's edits first. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 21:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Spike 'em and DannyS712:: One question I didn't see addressed in the original request is whether or not |deliveries= should be upgraded to |deliveries1= or similar. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, the numbered deliveries parameters have a use, and are used to display numerical data. The previous usage of the (unnumbered) deliveries parameter was to describe what scale is being used for the numeric data. Spike 'em (talk) 10:35, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then,  Approved.. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
