Function overview: Remove extra text from |volume=
parameters
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Help:CS1 errors#extra text volume
Edit period(s): Daily
Estimated number of pages affected: 15,000
Namespace(s): Mainspace and Drafts
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: To remove articles and drafts from Category:CS1 errors: extra text: volume, this bot task will fix citations that contain variations of the word "Volume" in the |volume=
field. For example:
Change {{cite book |author=John Smith |title=Title |volume=Volume 2}}
to {{cite book |author=John Smith |title=Title |volume=2}}
- John Smith. Title. Vol. 2.
This is similar to BattyBot's task 46, which removes superfluous text from |edition=
and |pages=
fields.
The bot will also apply AWB general fixes as needed. Thank you for your consideration. GoingBatty (talk) 15:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
