Fun Project of Fun Times: Out With the Blessed, In With the Empowerment

[Mr. Bambu]

Per discussion here, the "Blessed" ability page is to be merged with "Empowerment", with all profiles having Blessed being given Empowerment instead. Under many circumstances, this is a project that would be handled within a few hours via a bot mass replacing the terms. However, in this instance, it seems likely that this will cause instances of strange wording, and so it needs to be handled with greater delicacy.

The ideal situation, as in, the one requiring the least amount of effort, is that a bot script handles it, and our staff team proofreads all those who had Blessed previously to make sure the sentences describing the ability still contextually make sense. The non-ideal option is that all of it is done by hand.

I am making this thread per @Antvasima's wishes, although I am not sure how much I will be able to contribute to this project. Before beginning, we would benefit greatly from seeing if a user with an adequate bot could quickly handle it- then we'd simply need a list to run through to proofread the profiles.

What do you think about this?

Couldn't one have the bot replace the String "[[Blessed]]" with "[[Empowerment|Blessed]]" and the String "[[Blessed|" with "[[Empowerment|" in two run throughs to do the merger without creating wording problems?
Given, I suppose that would produce lots of [[Empowerment|Blessed]] where [[Empowerment]] would do, which isn't wrong but stylistically not that nice either.

How is the page merger itself going to happen?

I can test out this.

Seems fairly straight forward. First option would be preferable obviously.

Well, preferably we need somebody to first merge any relevant content text from our "Blessed" page to our "Empowerment" page, and then I think that we need to turn our "Blessed" page into a redirect link to our "Empowerment" page.

 

[Antvasima]

However, I am not certain if "Empowerment" is the best option here, since, if I have understood correctly, it is currently defined as being able to strengthen oneself, whereas "Blessed" means that an outside force has strengthened oneself, so another option is to simply first rename our "Blessed" page to something more appropriate that is not strictly thematically tied to something of a holy nature.

Seems like a reasonable approach
