Ordinals

• For the Fix for ordinals the following approaches can be used :
  • This approach finds and edits all events with improper ordinals fixed:

wikiedit -t wikiId -q "[[Has improper value for::Ordinal]]" --search "(\|Ordinal=[0-9]+)(?:st|nd|rd|th)\b" --replace "\1"

• A code snippet can be used coupled with wikibackup and bash tools for specific editing of pages: Code Snippet
• Pipeline usage:

grep Ordinal /path/to/backup -l -r | python ordinal_to_cardinal.py -stdin -d '../dictionary.yaml' -ro -f | wikirestore -t ormk -stdinp -ui

Improper Null values for Has person

• Has person was using "some person" as a null value. There was incorrect usage where in the free text events would use some person while the Wikison Format info would contain the person name.

1. First way of doing this is to remove free text altogether. A code snippet was used coupled with bash utility grep. Usage:

 
grep 'some person' -r '/path/to/backup' -l | python scripts/Data_Fixes.py -stdin -ro -rmf | wikirestore -t ormk -stdinp -ui

Output result: ICFHR 2020

1. Second way to do this is to only remove the 'some person' entry from the wiki free text. Python snippet is used with bash utility grep. Usage:

grep 'some person' -r '/path/to/backup' -l | python scripts/Data_Fixes.py -stdin -ro -rdf | wikirestore -t ormk -stdinp -ui

output result: ACCV_2020
