@Xaosflux: I had told the botop I intended to speedy approve this at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Magazines.2FMagazines_cited_by_Wikipedia. It uses the exact same code as JL-Bot 7 but extends it to {{Cite magazine}}, and it only edits in project-space at a very low rate, so no chance of running awry. Would you object to me following through on what I told the botop? (Worth noting both Headbomb and Hellknowz agreed with no trial at the user talk discussion.) ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 13:54, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BU Rob13: if you would like, I saw it pop up so figured a very fast trial would be easy enough. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:28, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. It was easy enough to do. See here. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The trial worked as intended, btw. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:30, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
