<!--Programming Language: The computer language that this bot will be written in. E.g. Python, Java, C, VB, AutoWikiBrowser. NOT English etc -->

'''[[Programming languageLanguage]](s):''' [[Python (programming language)|Python]] <small>Using [[WP:PYWIKIPEDIA|pywikipedia]]</small>

<!--Source code available: e.g. a link to the source code, "Standard pywikipedia"/"AWB"/etc. Be sure the bot account's password is not given out! -->

Line 35 ⟶ 38:

<!-- e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run, etc. -->

'''Edit period(s):'''

Monthly? The concensusconsensus was unclear. Personally I think its a once-a-month job.

<!--Should be a reasonable guess as to how many distinct pages you'll be editing. For open-ended tasks, estimate pages per some reasonable time period.-->

<br>'''Estimated number of pages affected:''' <s> I have no idea, a Lot from the looks of the size of what X!'s dump scan returned (the list is 807 kb long). </s>Update, I did a dump scan, and it returned a list around 21 thousand. However, that includes re-directs and DASHBot skips redirects.

<!--If "no", please provide a reason in the Function details or Discussion.-->

Moves pages containing '(space)-(space)' (and their talk pages) to an article with the '(space)-(space)' replaced with '(space)ndash(space)'.

===Discussion===

I'd like to hear about if you think there are going to be any false positives, and how you'll catch them? [[User talk:Rjwilmsi|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen;">'''''Rjwilmsi'''''</fontspan>]] 22:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

:Well according to the MOS and the BOTRequest, it is appropriate to change ''all'' instances of '(space)-(space)' with '(space)ndash(space)'. Other then that there aren't really any openings for a false positive, as the bot won't even consider moving a page that dosen't contain '(space)-(space)'. If that wasn't the answer you were asking for, you may have to clarify a bit. Thanks for the question [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 23:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

: I really '''support''' this idea. I [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests/Archive_31#DASHBot|proposed this]] once before and whilst it didn't happen (wikibreaks etc.) there was no opposition. I have on occasion done [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=20090310095522&limit=237&type=move&user=Rambo%27s+Revenge&hide_patrol_log=1&month=&year= lots of these moves manually] and this automated process would be a very beneficial time saver.

::Thanks for that Rich, I was going to do that, but now I'm glad I don't have to! I will run the bot from that list. Note that I '''will''' leave redirects [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 18:12, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

::::{{tl|BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Ok, well if all the concerns are met, then I think I'm ready to go. Note that I made a settings page that will allow users to turn the bot off if something goes wrong. [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 23:51, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
