Discussion

Approved for trial (175 edits or 10 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Approving for a trial run, added to AWB bot list for trial (Special:Diff/614301426). Please report back here with trial results. As this is only affecting closed AFD's in the mobile view, leaving trial open to accept additional community feedback during the entire period. Pleas update the VP thread with this status. Please trial with up to 25 edits in EACH of the prefix types you have requested above. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:28, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

xaosflux, the trial runs are completed, with expected page counts for each prefix and links to T13bot's contribution history for each chunk. I had to modify my search statement from class="boilerplate metadata afd" to a regex search of /class="boilerplate metadata ([acfmrt])fd"/ when I got to Special:prefixIndex/Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion because the templates there don't use the "afd" class. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 17:03, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please also note, your operator user page states, "Due to certain personal issues, Technical 13 will be away from Wikipedia for an undefined period of time". If you intent to run 32000 edits, you need to be able to respond to any issues. Will this be an issue? — xaosflux ^Talk 01:32, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. My away is due to medical and school issues, I take frequent wikibreaks because of this, but most are fairly short and never when I'm doing something that "if" there was an issue, I wouldn't be available for a couple weeks afterwards for near immediate responses when I'm awake. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 01:50, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've adjusted that banner as I don't expect to be away for at least the next month which should more than cover this process. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 15:23, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Noticed you are also doing some special character replacements? (eg here and here). Do you have other misc cleanup options enabled as well? — xaosflux ^Talk 00:19, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

xaosflux, I have the apply general fixes and unicodify whole page options checked, but I also have it checked to skip if those are the only changes being made. I have no troubles turning those options off it is an issue. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 00:23, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} It's been 7 days since I completed the trials. There have been no further comments here. May we move forward, please? — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 20:25, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Approved., you may begin once you have been flagged. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
