GuildWiki:Bot tasks/Builds redlinks rewrite

Description
This script rewrites orphaned links to the old Build: namespace articles, pointing them instead to the appropriate article on the PvX Wiki.


 * Language: Perl
 * Uses the module Perlwikipedia for most wiki interface tasks.
 * Throttle: 360 edits/hour (10 seconds between edits)

Process

 * 1) Scans Special:Wantedpages for links to builds, which are identified by beginning with "Team" or a profession abbreviation followed by a slash, such as "W/".
 * 2) Checks a correspondence file (to be compiled by Ereanor) for the new name of the build on PvX Wiki.
 * 3) For each build redlink found, scans Special:Whatlinkshere for that link and gets a list of the articles containing that specific redlink.
 * 4) For each article containing a build redlink, edits the article to rewrite the link as follows:

Code
use strict;
 * 1) !/usr/bin/perl

use Perlwikipedia;

my %corr; open (INF, "corr.txt") or die "can't open file: $!\n"; while () { my ($old, $new) = split /;/; $corr{$old} = $new; } close (INF);
 * 1) Read Ereanor's correspondence file

open (OPF, ">edits.log") or die "can't open log file: $!\n"; print OPF "\n", "="x20, "\n"; {	my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year) = (localtime)[0,1,2,3,4,5]; printf OPF "$0 starting at %2d:%02d:%02d %4d-%02d-%02d\n", $hour, $min, $sec, $year+1900, $mon+1, $day; }
 * 1) Log file

my $user = 'Bot ishmael'; my $pass = $ARGV[0]; my $editor = Perlwikipedia->new($user); $editor->set_wiki('guildwars.wikia.com',''); $editor->login($user, $pass);
 * 1) Create a Perlwikipedia object and login

$editor->{debug} = 1;
 * 1) Turn debugging on, to see what the bot is doing

my $is_minor = 1; my $edit_summary='Builds redlinks rewrite by Bot ishmael';
 * 1) Editing options

my @builds = builds_from_wantedpages; # Custom function not from Perlwikipedia; see below
 * 1) Pull all build redlinks from Special:Wantedpages
