Discussion

There is one active bug with parsing pipes in template variables. I have reviewed the full run from the bot and estimate this will affect less than 15 articles. I have the entire output logged and can remediate the bot's errors on the fly as necessary. Nakon 05:32, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

These were two early edits that I made through the bot account that I reverted because of an invalid target. The bot has since been restricted to the test wikis. Nakon 05:42, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

The bot has been blocked pending approval. Nakon 05:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Nakon: As you obviously have your proposed bot under control, blocking is not necessary - feel free to remove. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:57, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

• The bot proposal was contingent on Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_May_20#Template:Missing_information being closed as delete. It has since been closed as keep, rendering this bot unnecessary Tazerdadog (talk) 21:44, 25 May 2016 (UTC)(NAC)
