Function overview: Remove extra text from |volume= parameters

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Help:CS1 errors#extra text volume

Edit period(s): Daily

Estimated number of pages affected: 15,000

Namespace(s): Mainspace and Drafts

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: To remove articles and drafts from Category:CS1 errors: extra text: volume, this bot task will fix citations that contain variations of the word "Volume" in the |volume= field. For example:

Change {{cite book |author=John Smith |title=Title |volume=Volume 2}}

• John Smith. Title. Vol. Volume 2. {{cite book}}: |volume= has extra text (help)

to {{cite book |author=John Smith |title=Title |volume=2}}

• John Smith. Title. Vol. 2.

This is similar to BattyBot's task 46, which removes superfluous text from |edition= and |pages= fields. The bot will also apply AWB general fixes as needed. Thank you for your consideration. GoingBatty (talk) 15:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
