Task/s: set the English description based on the "SHORT DESCRIPTION" parameter of {{Persondata}}
Function details: self-explaining; the same as Task 9, but in English. Nobody seems to have picked up this, so I'll do. It will overwrite existing descriptions only to adjust capitalization or to remove a final period. --Ricordisamoa 13:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Besides, I think thats a good handling with the existing descriptions.--CENNOXX (talk) 22:00, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, there was a bug in my code that allowed wikicode to be put in descriptions, but now I use the
strip_code
method from the awesome mwparserfromhell library to quickly get rid of templates, wikilinks, etc. I'll soon do a new test run. --Ricordisamoa 22:19, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: now the code is running fine, so I've started this task: sample edit and log. --Ricordisamoa 18:38, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- ...and now it can even set Italian labels... --Ricordisamoa 19:14, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
