• Trial complete. -- Cheers, Riley 21:39, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• A link to the bot's related edits would be helpful. —Theopolisme (talk) 02:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it would be. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 16:42, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a useful task, some of the other bots are older, and having a newer bot, or repeat on a task with a lot of edits, and complies a number of templates for one bot to fix seems like a good task for experienced and active bot operator. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 16:42, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Link to bot trial edits.. *sigh* way too much blue in the edit summary.. -- Cheers, Riley 16:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, it gives all the information, but nothing else. What more do you want? Thanks for putting them in one place. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 17:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The edits look fine; I only checked half a dozen. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 17:06, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
