Wiktionary:Approved bot tasks

This is a list of bot tasks that were explicitly allowed by vote. Any bot can do these tasks.

For many tasks that replace a template or wiki markup by another, please let these tasks linger here for at least a few months even after all pages have been properly edited, in case there are users still using old templates and syntax. It's not been explictly decided if all users are expected to use the new code or if they can continue using old code, with the bots fixing it automatically, in which case these tasks should remain here indefinitely.
