Spain

Hi, hope you're well! I was wondering if you could organize something to make all the infoboxes of the Municipalities of Spain consistent. I just added a municipal map to Abizanda. It's excellent quality, though has German background names. Spain is a mess, there are either missing infoboxes entirely, or maps not displayed, vital data missing, inconsistencies in coat of arms and format etc. It would benefit from a full update, ideally a bot coded using es or wikidata data to do it very consistently. I think that Swiss editor created quality locators for all the municipalities. I think a pin in Spain and then municipal locator would be ideal.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Blofeld! I would be happy to help, but I have been super busy off-wiki with a new job. Hopefully you can find someone else to help you with this. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 14:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Special:MassMove breaking a couple dozen pages

Thanks for writing a userscript. You may want to consider adding some error handling for the "find-replace" function, so that if it doesn't "find", it doesn't "replace", and add a pointless prefix to dozens of pages (or at least prompts before carrying it out). Exemplis grata:

• I have to speedy 22 pages and then fix 22 redirects also :( jp×g🗯️ 01:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

User:JPxG, not sure if this helped but I think this fixes the problem? Basically, make the new and old move name the same when the prefix removal fails. If the old and new name are the same, then I am guessing it won't move anything and issue an error. If you are able to test this, let me know. It seems to work on the one test I did.
