Function overview: Replace invalid numerical representations in sports templates in accordance with MOS:NUMBERSIGN

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: WP:AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PrimeBOT 31, Special:PermaLink/954684116#More_bot_runs

Edit period(s): Initially a one-time run, then maybe once a quarter

Estimated number of pages affected: No more than 3k templates in initial run, then likely <100 per subsequent run/quarter

Namespace(s): Template

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: As detailed in Task 31, MOS:NUMBERSIGN say that when abbreviating "number" the shorthand No. should be used and not #. Within sports templates, the bot will change No. and # into {{abbr|No.|Number}}. For the "initial run" the bot will focus on templates transcluding {{CBB Standings Entry}} (basketball) and {{CBSB Standings Entry}} (baseball), but the future/quarterly runs will also include the original {{CFB Standings Entry}} (football) to catch that year's standings.
