:Sounds both interesting and useful. Out of interest, are you just going to be running AWB genfixes or writing custom regexes? Also, have you come across any scenarios where the parameter was merely changed from one wrong value to another wrong value, or worse still, from a good value to a bad value? - [[User:Jarry1250|Jarry1250]] <sup>([[User_talk:Jarry1250|t]], [[Special:Contributions/Jarry1250|c]])</sup> 10:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
::I will start with genfixes, then depending upon the consistency of what is left, write custom regexes, submit bug reports/feature requests for AWB (and then run it again), and do the rest manually. I have never seen AWB change one wrong value to another (though I'm sure it does on occasion) mainly due to the nature of these fixes primarily being capitalization. AWB changing a correct template to an incorrect one is actually where this project grew out of. Versions of AWB before {{AWBSVN|4382}} were consistently corrupting {{tl|Article issues}}. I ran into several instances of bots or people breaking large numbers of articles using AWB. I have since gotten the AWB bugs and articles fixed and would now like to apply the same to other more often used templates. I fully expect AWB to make mistakes as part of this project (as it has everywhere else it has been used) and take full responsibility for correcting those mistakes and submitting bug reports to avoid them happening again. --[[User:Pascal666|Pascal]]<sup>[[User talk:Pascal666|666]]</sup> 04:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
