Discussion

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. for 50 edits, but make sure that you don't start an image and not finish it. ST47Talk 12:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Trial complete, replacing Image:Crystal 128 ksmiletris.png with Image:Crystal Clear app ksmiletris.png, after a rename/duplication. The job was over 2000 pages, and I've done 56 edits, using AWB's image replacement system. The AWB system tends to be very reliable, and is able to take images out of galleries as well as any other use (NPWatcher uses the same algorithm). If you would like me to do another trial on a specific image to show this ability, please say so, but I'm not sure if there is such a task waiting at the moment... Martinp23 13:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Great, if you can, go ahead. ST47Talk 14:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I manufactured a test situation on a couple of pages - here is the bot renaming the non existant image to the correct one: normal usage and gallery usage. Martinp23 15:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, good.  Approved. ST47Talk 15:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
