is the bot able to do some corrections or must one wait?

Question

I have just been doing a bit of work on DBE report, and noticed several items that are due to changes in links to government site for early censuses here.  I have both the old and the new links available for correction.

Is the bot able to do these currently?

Changes required are as follows:

1666 census from  http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_archives/index.php?fuseaction=genitem.displayEcopies&lang=eng&rec_nbr=2318856&title=%5bRecensement%20du%20Canada.%20%20Nominatif:%20noms,%20surnoms,%20%C3%A2ges,%20qualit%C3%A9s%20et%20m%C3%A9tiers&ecopy=DAFCAOM03_GI_460_15R

to  https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/CollectionSearch/Pages/record.aspx?app=fonandcol&IdNumber=2318856

1667 census from

http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_archives/index.php?fuseaction=genitem.displayEcopies&lang=eng&rec_nbr=2318857&title=%5bRecensement%20du%20Canada.%20%20Nominatif:%20religieux,%20familles%20(noms,%20pr%C3%A9noms,%20surnoms),%20%C3%A2ges,%20...%5d.&ecopy=e001342779

Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't do single document change. But if there is a pattern, I can do it.

I just checked the collectionscanada.gc.ca domain and I also noticed, that there are other problems. 

All https://www.data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca links return 12007 Name not resolved (Send). but they work without the www. in the url.

Correcting https://www.data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e096/e002383679.jpg to https://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e096/e002383679.jpg should do the trick.

Here are all such URLs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lH5Xp7Y9LeMK7LBETjABET7KMqxHwOjk1TgpeXscMCo/edit#gid=1935214739

About collectionscanada.gc.ca I notices that links containing collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_archives are kind of the same and all aren't working. There are 2 actions in old links

fuseaction=genitem.displayItem

Language and documentID can be retrieved from the old link. Some have also rec_nbr_list=1489175,1489158,1487441,1487244,1484367,1483695,1479232,1479096,1478979,1513673 What would that mean?

The other has 

fuseaction=genitem.displayEcopies

these have a few more parameters and are very long. To what would they change on the new domain?

title seems can be removed if o

you're being too technical for me, but for each year I have listed the ''from'' and ''to'' above in the question.  These are 3 censuses, they changed their system (they being Library and Archives Canada / Bibliothèque et Archives Canada ie BAC/LAC) 

I have these links on some category pages, those I can do manually, but they have also been used on profiles as sources, and I only know of the bot to find these easily and change them quickly.  Getting a 404 error on the old links.

These are wonderful, Danielle.  I didn't realize the images were online.  What a treat!

oh yes Mark, these have been online for coons age.  But like everybody else, Archives Canada has been ''revamping'' its website, so these all got moved to different URLs and no link from the old URL to the new exists now.  I personally much prefer these to transcriptions done by others, although I only go look at them when there's some sort of strange issue.
