All board and moderator Biki pages edited.

Steveire

I've used a bot to add an infobox to each page.
It's a bit dodgy, so some of them didn't work properly. Any forum with a subforum didn't get a tagline. See the ones in Region for example. Also, any page with non-ASCII charcters like 'Français' and 'Español' didn't get done.
If you find such pages, please edit them. There should be logs of the edits - if it worked as it should - here, with a summary to tell which pages were not edited. Also, it created a lot of 'stub' pages which people can fill themselves if they know anything about the board.

The bot edits don't show in recent changes by default, but you can see them if you click 'show bots'.

The user infoboxes can be customised a lot, eg, you can add {{User/Subscriber|Name=Silverfish}} to get an entry which will give a link to your subscriber blog. Anyone can make a new tempate like that too, if you want, for the myboards.ie blogs, off-site blog or anything else. I'll explain more if there's interest.

I focussed on content rather than appearance for the infoboxes, but I'll take comments on both. They can to a large extent be quickly and easily customised by anyone.

Is this the end of "I'm writing this because I don't know who to PM!!". I doubt it.

Hehe. Bizzare that I missed that one. I had to stop and edit the script a few times while running it. I'll do sport now.

The For Sales wiki is locked, which is why I'm guessing that didn't get it's little list of fora.

Feel free to temp unlock it to run the script though

Tried all the additional Board Link//References on the side of my Biki page and they all work perfectly, except for the one for Dawn Of War

Moved the text into the main page and changed the old page to a redirect.

Still needs to be tidied up though.

I'm assuming that none of the boards I moderate are listed because two are in the Hosted section and the other is restricted to Mods and Subscribers?

Steveire

You didn't get one because of the é in "les incompétents". Dodgy characters messed with the script, which is why some other pages were skipped too. I've made one for you, and made it special for demonstration.

/me digs for access to HoLL

you can add

{{User/Profile|Name=tSubhDearg|UserID=35731}}

to put a link to your profile in, and

{{User/Subscriber|Name=tsubhdearg}}

(it has to be all lowercase for some reason. Dunno why) to make a link to your subscriber blog.
I didn't include any private forums, partly for convenience, and partly cause they don't exist. To make a link to your private forum, you add

{{User/Forum|Name=HoLL}}

in the right place, and make some corresponding template in the Board:HoLL page.

Admin pages didn't get edited, because I forgot to make the bikibot a sysop before running the script. That's also why the For Sale page didn't get edited before. It's a sysop account now though, so that kind of thing shouldn't happen again. Sparky, and the 24 forum etc didn't get entries, because they are new, and I was using an outdated version of the dhtml menu to generate the templates. I just forgot to update before running it. I can't explain why S&S mods didn't get that forum in their infobox.

If anyone has any other ideas for similar batch edits, let them rip.
