Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Melancholie (melancholie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Enable cosmetic_changes; by default do only foolproof things
Initial Comment: Currently cosmetic_changes is set to 'False'; thus cosmetic_changes.py is totally disabled! This is because some RegExps in that script are not ready for autonomous use or do controversial changes.
But bots could do little, *foolproof* changes like r'(?i)<br>': r'<br />', r'(?i)</br>': r'<br />', etc. without making any problems (note: inside of <pre> or <nowiki> tags, changes are not considered in any event by the script)!
Please enable cosmetic_changes by operating with two groups; one for "foolproof" changes that are done by default, and one for yet to be tested and maybe controversial changes!
