    ra use availability
    ogauge use old_gauge

    Discussion[edit]

    Comment: Have you considered whether you will need to check for the existence of the corresponding non-deprecated parameter before doing the replacement? You wouldn't want to end up with electrification=yes | electrification = no. If I were running this bot, I would either do a manual run with AWB and check each one, or skip instances where the supported parameter is already present. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    I have, and so far (I have one more check to run) I have yet to find any that fit that bill. Primefac (talk) 17:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    UPDATE: There are no pages that transclude this template that use both a deprecated parameter and its replacement. Primefac (talk) 19:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Groovy. Support, by the way. Cleanup is good. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
