Discussion edit
Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I feel like this is a pretty straight-forward task, but let's just make sure the wheels don't fall off unexpectedly. Primefac (talk) 13:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Trial complete. @Primefac: The bot's edits were successful, except that AWB automatically creates a redlink in the edit summary when adding {{uncategorized stub}}. I have opened an AWB bug request for this issue. GoingBatty (talk) 03:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
