Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):
Function details: The article Hollywood is now a disambiguation page with over 11,000 articles to be fixed. To fix the low hanging fruit, this bot would convert \[\[Hollywood\]\], *\[\[(California|Los Angeles)\]\]
and \[\[Hollywood\]\], *(California|Los Angeles)\b
to [[Hollywood, $1]]
. The bot would also perform AWB general fixes. Thank you for your consideration. GoingBatty (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

editI know we're only a week on for this task (sorry, I was away last weekend) but it looks like there are only a dozen incoming links from article space? Should this be withdrawn or am I missing something obvious? Primefac (talk) 12:14, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Primefac Hi there! It appears that BD2412, Certes and others have worked to manually disambiguate these links. Unless they have suggestions for other patterns that could reliably be fixed via bot, I will withdraw my request. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:57, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
