It would be good if it was possible to fix things after a bot run. It often happens that a few things aren't caught in dry runs.
Possible solutions
Some top-of-the-head solutions. One or more could be used. Some may not be viable.
- Re-run the bot, overwriting pages
- This only works if no manual edits are made between the initial run and the fix run. Currently requires some temporary code hacks to not overwrite the wrong things.
- Manual edits
- Not ideal since the idea behind the bot is to not have to do a lot of manual work.
- Replacing wikitext
- Requires high precision since the bot would need to work with arbitrary strings.
- Rework templates to make editing easier
- It is possible that the templates that are used by the bot could be changed to make editing easier. This may take a lot of work and make the resulting pages more difficult to work with, especially without breaking this new functionality.
