This is a decidedly clunky hand built bot, written in PHP which currently offers only slightly more functionality that Special:ReplaceText. It is suited for one-off tasks.

TO DO

  1. Standardising dates

IDEAS

This is for as yet poorly defined general ideas

  1. Read and process the semantic data, e.g.
    1. To build pages (e.g. the coverpage)
    2. To circumvent limitations in existing extensions
