This was a decidedly clunky hand built bot, written in late 2013 in PHP which offered only slightly more functionality that Special:ReplaceText. It was last used in January 2014.

TO DO

  1. Standardising dates

IDEAS

This is for as yet poorly defined general ideas

  1. Read and process the semantic data, e.g.
    1. To build pages (e.g. the coverpage)
    2. To circumvent limitations in existing extensions[clarification needed]
