Function
HersfoldCiteBot is a bot that goes through Category:Articles with broken citations and corrects common errors in {{cite web}} templates. Specifically, it attempts to correct these problems:
- {{cite web}} missing a |title= parameter
- {{cite web}} with an |archiveurl= parameter, but no |archivedate= parameter
{{cite web}} missing an |accessdate= parameter- disabled on recommendations at BRFA pending more accurate code and consensus to do so
Future updates
To suggest an update to the bot, please contact Hersfold. Suggestions for updates should relate to the bot's current task; if you would like a bot to perform a totally different task, please make your request at WP:BOTREQ.
