• @Peacemaker67 and Hawkeye7: ping those who participated at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Bot proposal --DannyS712 (talk) 00:16, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I know nothing about bots, but what is proposed would be a useful automation. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:53, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @Peacemaker67: in that case, I converted it from a one-time run to be as needed (starting with the current 1054, then every few days/weeks probably) --DannyS712 (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi Danny, based on my knowledge of Milhist task force tagging, I'd suggest running it once a fortnight at first as see how much work it does. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:06, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
