Function overview: Fix some headings hierarchy issues (CW Error #7, CW Error #19, CW Error #25, CW Error #83)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic.

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub (especially algorithm 7, algorithm 19, algorithm 25, algorithm 83)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Twice a month

Estimated number of pages affected: A few thousand edits probably, as it will fix only a portion of the ten thousand errors currently reported: CW Error #7 (Headings all start with three "=": 2, 18), CW Error #19 (Heading starts with one "=": 418, 469), CW Error #25 (Heading hierarchy: 6299, 6287), CW Error #83 (Heading start with three "=" and later with level two: 3136, 3159). For each error, I've put both the errors reported by CheckWiki and by WPCleaner with a dump analysis: most problems are reported in both, hence the similar numbers.

Namespace(s): Main

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The idea is to fix headings hierarchy problems when a modification can be done without changing the headings relative organization. I've removed #19 from the list of fixes applied by the bot, there are too many situations where a human edit is required afterwards to have a clean heading hierarchy

Discussion

• Approved for trial (60 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Ideally, if possible, do 15 of each type, but if that's not reasonable/feasible, 60 total is fine. Primefac (talk) 20:52, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

  Thanks Primefac. I will post here the edits:

  • 15 edits for CW#7
  • Started with 4 edits for CW#19, but not happy with this modification. I will change how #19 is handled to avoid this case (only one level 1 title, with sub-titles), and redo a few edits.

    After modification of my code, 11 edits for CW#19, with 2 examples of how the new code handles the previous case, as suggested by Jerodlycett (1, 2). --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 06:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

    I'm withdrawing #19 from the list of fixes I want to perform with my bot, there are too many cases where just increasing the title level is not enough. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 07:38, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

  • 15 edits for CW#25
  • 15 edits for CW#83

  Thanks Primefac. Trial complete. I've done the requested edits, and decided to remove CW#19 from the scope, as it still needs too many human editing after. Edits for the other errors behaved as I expected. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 09:57, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 Approved. Primefac (talk) 22:26, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
