Forums: Index > Watercooler > Phased Bot conversion of Info articles



Trials of conversions of info pages have been going on for the past few weeks, and we are entering a new phase where larger numbers will be converted. 350 articles have been switched over so far. About 7700 remain, so less than 5% have been done. Up until now the articles being converted largely had only one substantive author.

This next phase will touch a larger number of articles and we may crack 15% of the info articles, but not much more than that in order that people have the opportunity to voice opposition or other concerns. An example might be a request to hold off on certain groups of articles until improvements to the converter is made. We are in no great rush on this, but neither should we needlessly stretch it out if there is no reason to do so. The advantage of having a unified system for such structured articles makes it easier for users to manipulate articles and read documentation that applies consistently to all articles.

Thurstan and Rtol have identified some articles that could be converted. If anyone has an specific preferences, please let me know.


As always, if anyone sees any error or something not converted that they think a bot ought to be able to convert, please let me know at your earliest convenience. ~ Phlox 20:59, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
