Hello!
Request: description updating
A lot of the 'Product Description' sections in the various parts pages are outdated, because they don't get automatically updated (though they do seem to be added automatically during the initial page creation). For example, when the [Radial Engine Body] was renamed to "Engine Pre-cooler" in 1.0, its description changed, but it wasn't updated by BobBot. I was hoping a script could be added to pull the updated descriptions from the "description = " entries in the part configuration files.— Preceding unsigned comment added by VariousMetals (talk • contribs) 13:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- The problem is to reliably determine the place on the page where the bot can insert the description. — xZise [talk] 14:01, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- Don't all of the parts pages already have isolated, standardized "Product Description" sections? VariousMetals (talk) 15:09, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Request: Run the update job
xZise, could you run the update job to update the part config files for KSP 1.4.2? It seems like the bot has not updated them since 1.0. I also fixed the link for the git repository. Tidal Stream (talk) 17:27, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
