Function details:

On transclusions of IOC profile:

  • Search for a transclusion of Olympics.com profile. If one is found, delete the IOC profile transclusion (note that I plan on redirecting {{Olympic Channel}} to Olympics.com profile before this bot begins running. I haven’t taken a thorough look but I believe this can simply be done as they have identical content).
  • Get the ID by searching the article for the external link to the IOC profile Get the ID by parsing the template, and if that fails checking P3171 on the corresponding item page and make a HEAD request to https://www.olympic.org/$id, which will redirect to https://olympics.com/en/athletes/$newid. This is necessary because the id sometimes changes.
  • Extract the new id from the URL, and use it to replace the IOC profile with an Olympics.com profile. Note that because this is done by looking at external links, this will work even if the id is populated by the Wikidata property (the bot, however, will use a parameter rather than Wikidata).
