Discussion

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. For the record, another active bot has an approved task to handle this sort of work, so I am seeing this as a one-off task. In the future, if the operator is around and willing to help, I would prefer the already approved bot to handle the task. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
