This project entailed the removal of the obsolete and deprecated yomi parameter from the template {{ja-pron}}, the former also aliased as y (with the template itself aliased as {{ja-IPA}}).
Due to impositions of a 10s delay between edits, it took some 50 hours to run through 16,692 entries with the legacy parameter, spanning from 23:57, 22. Jun. 2023 to 02:46, 25. Jun.
(Were it not for an interruption of the bot's execution, this would have been nigh-on exactly 46 hours, but, for a time, I was using my workstation for other purposes and could not maintain the script running.)
Code-wise, there was little that could go drastically wrong, but there was a trip-up that arose on account of the unexpected redirection of {{ja-IPA}} to {{ja-pron}}: this alternative name for the template, which was not originally being handled by the code, resulted in the initial code failing to remove its parameters, and encountering a failure in the expected failsafe.
This necessitated a small tweak, in which the methods were made to accept either {{ja-IPA}} or {{ja-pron}}; luckily, there were no more aliases...
After this alteration and a reboot of the script, there were no further complications, and the remaining entries were swept up within around another 24 hours, the only stragglers being those under the User (etc.) namespaces.
