Replacing a template
Replacing CWMG-copyright by PD-India-CWMG on all pages where it is used: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:CWMG-copyright. Thanks, Yann (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ for main NS. Do you want broader? -- billinghurst (talk) 13:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Replacing a template
Prior to the introduction of the |translator field in header, a user put the translator as the "author=" field in each subpage of Ante-Nicene Fathers, even though they were written by dozens of authors like Author:Tertullian and others. So if you could bump all author=Philip Schaff et al to translator=, then I can begin properly attributing each work.

 * Started, though with 7400+ pages, it is going to take a little while. Continuing conversation at User_talk:Sherurcij -- billinghurst (talk) 22:52, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Finishing Vol. 4. later today. BTW I came across a number of duplicate pages that I subsequently removed. -- billinghurst (talk) 03:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. There was a bit of fixing at the same time. -- billinghurst (talk) 06:04, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Section anchors
Could a bot run over Index:Alabama State Constitution of 1901.djvu and replace "dd. " at the beginning of the line with "dd.". John Vandenberg (chat) 08:24, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Blank pages
I'm thinking this should go on Persistent Tasks, but let me know. We should automatically upgrade all pages marked with Blank page (and in Category:Proofread) as "Validated" - it saves manhours of clicking to "validate" the veracity of a blank page - something I think we can trust our proofreaders to do themselves.

 * blank pages in cat:Proofread need Page without text state rather than Validated state. Phe (talk) 12:13, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Excessive author links
The article Abraham Lincoln Brigade has excessive author links. They should all be removed. If there are to be any, they should only exist for where author links exist, rather than presume that all people will have links. Not a practice that I would want to see continue and could be extremely cumbersome. -- billinghurst (talk) 12:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Bookofjude.

Template refs for removal
✅ both billinghurst (talk) 11:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Template:Booleq is linked to a number of pages, and has been through PD and deleted. Refs need to be removed. -- billinghurst (talk) 15:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Template:Sherlock Holmes plate in 179 images, similarly PD'd-- billinghurst (talk) 15:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
