• @Xaosflux: I'm only opposed to removing the importance parameter. No opposition to the majority of the task discussed at bot requests. Enterprisey, this task doesn't seem to be what you discussed at bot requests. Did you mean to say commenting out the class parameter? That seems to be both the more urgent and less controversial task. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 02:46, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Facepalm. Fixed. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:50, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • No objection to the corrected task. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:49, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agreed with Rob here. There is little point classing a redirect with the class parameter. TheMagikCow (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • @TheMagikCow: Just to be clear, are you objecting to the task or saying it's ok? The task removes an inaccurate class (stub, start, etc.) from redirects. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 08:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • Fully supporting this task. Sorry for the ambiguity! TheMagikCow (talk) 12:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. Task approved. I see there were 2 errors, but you caught them so I'm assuming you fixed the bugs along the way. — xaosflux ^Talk 05:44, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
