Function details: This bot task uses existing date formatting regular expressions from ButlerBlogBot Task 2 modified to check the {{Infobox television episode}} template for unnecessary list markup since the template applies {{Plainlist}} automatically. It further looks for the unnecessary use of HTML break tags or list markup, which it converts to a simple list format using "*" for each entry. This task is to clean up the current entries in the Category:Pages using infobox television episode with unnecessary list markup maintenance category. Depending on the status of the maintenance category after a complete run through, it may be used as an ongoing maintenance task.
