Fitting A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism related pages to the new ProofreadPage extension

 * Assigned to: TalBot

Task description
To be used with the ProofreadPage extension, the individual pages of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism need to be moved to conform to that extension's naming conventions. Around 600 page moves are required. The redirect pages thus created should be made into s. In addition, some template calls need to be wrapped in tags to avoid transclusion. Around 1800 operations are required in total. The operations requested in particular are: The operations should be executed in the indicated order, except that the moves and the placing of the soft redirects may be interspersed in the obvious way, if they can't be processed in a single batch.

Step 1

 * Status: Done. Page 82 failed for an unknown reason. Fixed manually.--TalBot 15:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!--GrafZahl 15:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Step 1

 * Status: Done. The task was completed after only 53 minutes despite a jumpy start (several interruptions were necessary due to badly escaped regex characters). Obviously, page moves are not throttled in pywikipedia. This seems to be a feature rather than a bug.--TalBot 09:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Step 2

 * Status: Done. Some damage done due to a combination of missing pages and poor exception handling. Hopefully fixed now.--TalBot 08:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Step 3

 * Status: Done. This completes this task.--TalBot 08:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Author:Ronald Reagan/Presidential Proclamations
About a thousand of these need to have "Proclamation #" removed from the line above the header. All following 4850 (except 4869) need this change, apparently. --Spangineerwp (háblame) 02:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
