Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Replace hyphens with endashes within the relevant years parameters in {{Infobox AFL biography}} as per MOS:DASH

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): None; this task is non-controversial and similar to past tasks such as Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/DASHBot, which took the much more significant action of moving pages to make the same stylistic change. See also Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 16 and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 21

Edit period(s): One-time run, possibly recurring at some point in the distant future to pick up new incorrect uses of hyphens.

Estimated number of pages affected: 5,144

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: See Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BU RoBOT 21 for all the relevant details. This task uses the exact same code with the parameter names changed. No errors were ever reported for the previous runs of this task.

• Trial complete. Contribs here. Only "error" was in the last edit ([1]), which happened to also fix a hyphenated date range in another template with an identical parameter name. No fix is really needed, since that's also an MOS error that needed fixing. ~ Rob^Talk 08:30, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
