Time filed: 19:47, Friday, February 2, 2024 (UTC)

Function overview: Avoid unnecessary wiktionary linking in {{linktext}} calls with Korean text (by removing template call)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: WP:AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WT:MOS/Korea discussion

Edit period(s): OTR, though potentially re-run every year or two as I suspect it will take a while for this to "catch on"

Estimated number of pages affected: Max 22,605 (current transclusion count), estimated ~6k

Namespace(s): Article

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Remove transclusions of {{linktext}} where each passed parameter is a single Korean character (and/or spaces) as consensus appears to be that this is undesired, replacing them with just the raw characters. A fuller/even more detailed description is at the BOTREQ, but I'll explain a bit more here:

Any template call of {{linktext}} with only [0-9가-힣] as the characters/parameters (with or without surrounding whitespace) will be replaced with just the characters. Examples:

• {{linktext|국|립|중|앙|도|서|관}} → 국립중앙도서관 (only single characters)
• {{linktext|새|터|데|이| 나|이|트| 라|이|브| 코|리|아|}} → 새터데이 나이트 라이브 코리아 (space characters retained)
• {{linktext|中|文|維|基|百|科}} left as is: contains characters other than [0-9가-힣]
• {{linktext|새|마을|호}} left as is: contains two or more adjacent characters in one parameter

• Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  By the way, perhaps worth limiting the bot to content within |hangul= (I'm assuming that's implicit in this task) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  No, please do not apply such a condition. They don't always appear within |hangul=.

  For example, {{linktext|김|하|늘}} (currently found in Kim Ha-nul (figure skater)) is not within |hangul=.

  Please implement the request as submitted. 172.56.232.203 (talk) 14:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• By the way, the more accurate estimated number of pages affected would be 6109 (as of this writing). See this. 172.56.232.203 (talk) 14:11, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. Edits. Not really sure why the 51st slipped in there since I had max edits set (sorry). Primefac (talk) 13:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
