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. # 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.
