Function

[edit]

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

[edit]

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.
