Discussion[edit]

Bgwhite is very good in reporting bugs to me. He is better than myself. Since he wants to join my plan to rule the world, I support this task. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I also just want to make sure the minor fixes Yobot 16 was approved for are not seen as controversial in the current editing climate, so let me know if you see that as an issue.

My mistake. It is supposed to by Yobot 17 and not Yobot 16. I changed it up above. Yobot 16 tasks will be the next BRFA for BG19bot. When I do request it, I'd rather not do any CheckWiki tasks that are controversial. So, any comments will be appreciated. I'll let Magioladitis get the hate mail on the controversial ones :) Bgwhite (talk) 06:16, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. List of articles are here. The first 10 had |priority= removed. The next 40 added |sports-work-group=yes and set |sports-priority= to what priority contained. Bgwhite (talk) 09:08, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. MBisanz ^talk 17:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
