Discussion[edit]

Approved for trial (15 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Technical trial, non-controversial previously approved task, clarified intent beforehand. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 22:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. The first couple of edits were manually fixed caused because of the slightly different header on TFD so I prepended ((tfd|((subst:PAGENAME))|Usprimary templates)) instead. The Helpful One 22:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for extended trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I really can't see anything objectionable about the task. - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]} 23:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A good question! The bot went off the list provided at the TfD nomination which is the same as Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Usprimary. It appears that Template:Usprimary1996CA-aip redirects to Template:Usprimary1996CA-ai, and AWB was set to follow the redirect. I've disabled follow redirects in my settings file for this task, and as such, the problem should not occur. Thanks for spotting this. The Helpful One 09:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved for one-off, requested tasks. Trusted botop, non-controversial previously approved task. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:50, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
