The logic for a bot would be (ignoring whitespace):

• For all articles using "Template:Infobox ice hockey player"

• if template contains "|wha_" or "|ntl_team_women", insert a parameter of "| sex = f" above the first occurance

• find "|wha_" and delete "wha_"   (wha_draft becomes draft, etc)
• find "|ntl_team_women" and delete "_women"   (ntl_team_women_2 becomes ntl_team_2, etc)

• if template contains "|shot=" or "|caught=",

• change shot to shoots
• change caught to catches

Discussion

Note that a couple of other changes requested are better done in the template itself (adding a maint category) or, at least to start with, on an "as and when" basis (bypassing redirects).Rich Farmbrough 21:08, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
