User:Texvc2LaTeXBot

This user account is a bot that uses Pywikibot, operated by Salix alba (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. The bot is currently inactive but retains the approval of the community.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This is a bot for replacing custom texvc with LaTeX markup. Please visit mw:Extension:Math/Roadmap for the update plan, leave some feedback or join our commission at phab:T195861.

The bot will eventually be run across the whole of the WikiMedia's wikis and is being trialled on a limited number of wiki's.

Current maintainers: user:Salix alba (enwiki, other English language wiki's), user:Debenben (French and German language wiki's).
