User:ButlerBlogBot/Task 4

Status:  approved

Description

The primary objective of this task is to fix date formats per the documentation for the following templates:

• {{Infobox film}} - apply the correct formatting of {{Film date}} to the |released= parameter.

This bot task was put together by using existing date formatting regular expressions from ButlerBlogBot Task 2 and modifying for {{Film date}}. Depending on the status of the maintenance category after a complete run through, it may be modified for additional |released= values, depending upon what is left.
