Function overview: now and then some websites migrate domain or change the path structure of the website and break our links. When the change affects just a prefix of the complete url then update is trivial and straightforward. The idea is to perform these kind of url migrations.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): python

Source code available: standard pywikipedia

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): I already performed a similar task in the past, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FrescoBot 1

Edit period(s): as needed

Estimated number of pages affected: eg. 1729 for http://www.ariacharts.com.au

Namespace(s): mainly articles, but few edits could affect as well files, portals and drafts.

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): yes

Function details:

NB. I will not change archive urls. (eg. https://web.archive.org/web/201638/https://www.parmuziku.lv/zinas/latvija/muzikas-paterina-tops-gadu-mija-7661)

Discussion

Potentially dumb question, but is this task not suitable for a WP:URLREQ, or is this bot intended to be a supplement to that page? Primefac (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, actually I could help to solve requests at WP:URLREQ. I often take care of similar issues on it.wiki. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 21:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone have any other question? Should I start with some test edits? -- Basilicofresco (msg) 21:37, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! After +2 weeks without any question or doubt I guess we can move on. {{BAG assistance needed}} -- Basilicofresco (msg) 09:11, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see how it works,   Approved for trial (150 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. !ɘM γɿɘυϘ⅃ϘƧ 22:22, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  Done, here are the test edits. Few noteworthy examples:
  • Example of fix for parmuziku.lv [1]
  • Different kind of fixes for aria.com.au (annual chart vs. end-of-decade-chart) [2] [3]
