Discussion

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I'm fine trialing this, but if you could estimate the scale (100s, 1,000s, etc) of edits, it would help in judging if the task is controversial. MBisanz ^talk 21:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Trial complete. (Well...~42 done) I used only AWB, and will continue to do so. I didn't go up to 50, because I'd have to start a task and leave it far from complete, but I'm willing to do it if still necessary. As for the scale, it will almost always be in the 100s. There are currently at least two in the queue, one with 40-50 and one with ~140, so if you get what I mean, it isn't really controversial. I manually do what the bot can't then manually tag for deletion afterwards.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  00:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

 Approved. Okey. Looks good and no one's complained. MBisanz ^talk 03:09, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
