edit- Comment: How would this bot avoid violating WP:COSMETICBOT? – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:21, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Denied. Fails WP:AWBRULES #4 and the general prohibition on bots making rapid cosmetic edits. You are welcome to manually use AWB to fix these articles, but a bot is not an acceptable tool to do so. Primefac (talk) 14:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
