Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Supervised

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Change ~~"language=[Pp]ortguese" -> "language=Portuguese"~~Change "[Pp]ort(gu|ug)ese" and "[Pp]ortug(?:u?e+u|e*)se" inside of "language=" to "language=Portuguese" using AWB's find and replace.

Edit period(s): ~~One time run~~Continuous, basically whenever this task needs to be done. Modified at 09:04, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Estimated number of pages affected: 750+ pages

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: ~~Change "language=[Pp]ortguese" ->~~ Change "[Pp]ort(gu|ug)ese" and "[Pp]ortug(?:u?e+u|e*)se" inside of "language=" to "language=Portuguese" inside citation templates using AWB's find and replace tool. There are several hundred pages that use said misspelling variants~~misspelling "Portguese"~~ inside citation templates and they need to be fixed.

In regards to Wikipedia:Bots/Frequently denied bots#Fully_automatic_spell-checking_bots, I will be running this bot supervised and the bot will only be changing the word "Portguese" inside templates and thus, things like "non-standard spellings are intended (for example quotes)" will not be an issue. -- Cheers, Riley 02:35, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Because it is a single word inside a template being typo fixed, it disqualifies this request from being procedurally declined. Since it's a simple search and replace task, I see no issues. Though, I have one question, is the regex restricted only to Portguese, or can it pickup u e flip-flops as well?—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 16:09, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have now listed the regex that will be used above (for the word anyways). In answer to your question, it will pick up the pick up some flip-flops. -- Cheers, Riley 22:32, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to look at the two typo rules for "Portuguese" at WP:AWB/Typos so your bot can fix many different variations. GoingBatty (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested those variants aswell, thanks. -- Cheers, Riley 16:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. [1] - Please ignore the intervals between edits, I was multi-tasking when running this trial and it was in semi-auto mode (had to press save every time) -- Cheers, Riley 01:15, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
