I was planning to write a small bot that iterates through all pages to fix regex-able formatting issues. Would that interfere with your data-gathering? I've added some simple templates to facilitate cleanup tags. Feel free to get a web dev to polish them: * https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Template:Ambox * https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Template:Cleanup To set up the tag, simply add the following line to the pages (a different 'reason' can be given, if desired): {{Cleanup | reason=Automated import from ExpressionEngine}} Then, those pages will appear in https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Category:Articles_needing_cleanup. We should add this page to http://qt-project.org/contribute/ for potential contributors to find. I've never used MediaWiki maintenance scripts before, but I know how to use the lower-level HTTP API to iterate through every page (excluding those in https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Updated_pages ) to add the tag. Shall I do that? Regards, Sze-Howe _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
