Used the following `sed` command and manually verified the unstaged
changes. Special cases that were not committed included external links
to Wikipedia which are case-sensitive, links specific lines in code, a
link to a title with a slash that had to be cleaned up, and links to
citations on the BIP repository that contain an underscore.
```
sed -E -i '
s/(\[\[[^][]*#)([^]|]*)(\||\]\])/\1\L\2\E\3/g
:again
s/(\[\[[^][]*#)([^]|]*)([: _]+)([^]|]*)(\||\]\])/\1\2-\4\5/g
t again
' bip-0*mediawiki
```
```
sed -z -i 's/Author: /Authors: /' bip-0*.md
sed -z -i 's/Author: /Authors: /' bip-0*.mediawiki
```
Also align correctly in case of multiple authors.
```
sed -z -i 's/Type: Standards Track/Type: Specification/' bip-0*.md
sed -z -i 's/Type: Standards Track/Type: Specification/' bip-0*.mediawiki
```
After the scripted changes, the changes to BIP-40, BIP-41, and BIP-63
were undone, because it breaks CI.
These three BIPs only exist conceptually and their proposal documents
are missing which causes changes to them ot break the CI. I defer the
changes to these BIPs to a separate pull request to get CI to pass.
- Update all Accepted status to Proposed (renamed status)
- The BIP Comments preamble headers added to every BIP
- The License preamble headers have been added to all BIPs with a Copyright section
This came up on the mailing list.
yyyy-mm-dd (ISO 8601) is the internationally accepted format for numeric
dates. This commit changes all BIPs to use that instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
It also updates BIP 0001 to prescribe the new format.
