Sorry for the wait, but this BRFA wasn't listed [1]. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK

Oops, sorry about that. I must have gotten distracted halfway through. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Closing. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
