• This was requested by a MedCom coordinator, so Approved for trial (2 weeks). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Take longer if needed. –xeno^talk 14:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Ah, crap. Can the bot get the 'confirmed' flag so it can edit the listings pages? Anomie⚔ 15:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Trial complete.-ish. There were a few issues with misunderstandings of the process, but it seems to all have been sorted out. I'll leave the bot running for the moment under "Take longer if needed", in case anything else turns up. Anomie⚔ 23:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

• Looks fine to me. Any lingering issues can be ironed out during regular duty.  Approved. –xeno^talk 17:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
