== Script Request for Specific Editors ==

Hello, a few of us in the spoken and video guild are looking for a script that would have a manual push button to be able to the following for us:

#Remove references

#Remove the {}[] and all content within said brackets (exceptions are infoboxes, tables, and photos as they should not be touched)

#Any Wikipedia markup (i.e., bold, italic) without affecting the contents between the apostrophes

#Not allowed to save to the main article; however, by clicking submit, it would keep it to the respective user's sandbox with the same title and appending "-Script and full date as MMDDYY" to it. (This is meant to protect the article)

#Should only be allowed to run by those in the respective guilds (list of participants), and those that need access like admin, stewards, programmers, etc. Regular editors should not have access to run this script as to what it does. (If possible and not conducive to the WP at large)

I look forward to any discussion on this and to answer any questions you may have. I would also like to assist in testing prior to it being released to ensure it does what I am asking for.

I appreciate all the hard work you do.

Thanks,

:{{u|Galendalia}}, removing all {{((}} and {{))}} and all content between them would also remove {{tl|convert}}, but don't you still need to see it and other inline templates? <span class="nowrap">– [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;">Brandon</span><span style="color:green;">XLF</span>]] ([[User talk:BrandonXLF|talk]])</span> 19:01, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

::{{ping|BrandonXLF}} - we basically need to create a text only version with minimal interfaces that would be like reading a book. I think the <nowiki>{{tl|convert}},</nowiki> could be made an exception if possible. We do still go through all the articles we have and edit them, this is just looking to save time especially on our longer articles.
