Function details: from the bot request by Mechamind90:
When an image is tagged with
{{PD-old-70}}
or{{PD-old-100}}
on both English Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons, the Wikipedia templates are each practically identical to their Commons counterpart. However, when an image is just tagged with{{PD-old}}
, it means 100 on Wikipedia but 70 on the Commons. Perhaps on Wikipedia this can be resolved, since it's probably a hassle for Commons users to replace 70-year with 100-year
when public domain images are copied from Wikipedia to Commons, which is a frequent practice for all free-content images that are initially uploaded locally. Therefore, every transclusion of {{PD-old}} or {{pd-old}} on an image will be converted to {{PD-old-100}}. ({{PD-old-100}}
, presently a redirect to {{PD-old}}
, will become a high-risk template as a result, and should be fully protected.)
Task was previously approved for KarlsenBot which was blocked recently. Check Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/KarlsenBot 3.
Discussion
[edit] Speedily Approved. Task was already approved for a different bot, op is experienced in doing this sort of thing, and the general approval for replacing templates in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 15 may already cover it anyway. Anomie⚔ 02:29, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
