Function details: A very simple and easy task. I would like to use AWB to substitute user talk templates listed on Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/User talk templates. AWB has a built in module to substitute templates and we already have a number of bots doing such task. I will run AWB daily for this task. --Meno25 (talk) 00:23, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion
[edit]- Will the bot be namespace restricted? Will the bot subst redirects to the templates listed at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/User talk templates? ·addshore· talk to me! 11:08, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes and yes. I will restrict the bot to user talk namespace and it will substitute any template redirect listed on that page. I am waiting for permission to make a trial run. --Meno25 (talk) 11:22, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. ·addshore· talk to me! 17:07, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Withdrawn by operator. Strangely enough. I couldn't find any pages to work on. All the template transclusions are on user pages or user talk archives (which I am hesitant to edit). I can't make a trial run since it seems that all the work is done by other bots, so, I will withdraw my request. --Meno25 (talk) 18:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
