User:Abyssal/Multi image converter

I need some bulk cosmetic improvements to my implementation of the multiple image template.

2 images

Find all the multiple image templates with only two images.
remove the existing width rows for each image.
insert "| total_width = 248" between the beginning of the template and the first image.
insert "| footer = " just before the end of the template
copy the caption of the first image in the footer section
insert the text "Left:" just before the caption.
insert a period at the end of the caption.
copy the file name of the first image and paste it into a  between the "Left:" and the text of the caption.
repeat the process with the second image but labeling it "Right:" instead of left.
remove all the "width" and caption rows for individual images

Example 2 image input

Mounted fossilized skeleton of the Pleistocene-Holocene bovid Bootherium bombifrons, or Harlan's musk ox.

Modern mounted skeleton of Canis lupus, the grey wolf, to scale with a fossilized skeleton of the Pleistocene wolf Canis dirus, or dire wolf

Example 2 image output

Left: Mounted fossilized skeleton of the Pleistocene-Holocene bovid Bootherium bombifrons, or Harlan's musk ox.. Right: Modern mounted skeleton of Canis lupus, the grey wolf, to scale with a fossilized skeleton of the Pleistocene wolf Canis dirus, or dire wolf.

3 images

Find all the multiple image templates with three images.
remove the existing width rows for each image.
insert "| total_width = 330" between the beginning of the template and the first image.
insert "| footer = " just before the end of the template
copy the caption of the first image in the footer section
insert the text "Left:" just before the caption.
insert a period at the end of the caption.
copy the file name of the first image and paste it into a  between the "Left:" and the text of the caption.
repeat the process with the second and third image but labeling them "Middle:" and "Right:" instead of left.
remove all the "width" and caption rows for individual images

Example 3 image input

Life restoration of a Mammut americanum, or American mastodon

Fossilized claws and phalanges found in Haynes Cave, Monroe County; the type specimen of the grount sloth Megalonyx jeffersonii. This species is recognized as West Virginia's state fossil.

Modification to the original image caption operation

Can you make it able to read and correct the captions when they're after the commented out file name? Abyssal (talk) 16:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
