Function details: Having to add, remove or modify hundreds or thousands of XfD notices is a quite common issue and we currently don't have a bot for it. It is also a very simple task with it just involving simple prepending of the tag at the top of the page or a simple search and replace to remove or modify. I would like standing approval for any additions, removals or modifications (change display type update dates, etc) at any XfD venue. I do think a speedy approval could be appropriate here as well due to the very low complexity. A specific case involving ISO 639 name templates can be found at my talk page.
