Changed "|3=date=May 2012" to "|3=date=May 2012|date=May 2012"[edit]

Hi! I noticed an apparent bug with Helpful Pixie Bot:

Task[edit]

Dated Expand section. (Build KF)

Example(s)[edit]

Explanation[edit]

The bot changed "|3=date=May 2012" to "|3=date=May 2012|date=May 2012". i.e it added a date when there was already one present. There are three valid date formats in the Template:Expand section documentation. I suspect that the bot does not yet know about the second date format.

I wonder what the article would look like in a few year's time. (:-)> Peter Loader (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the bug report. This is actually Jarry1250 messing up the documentation.
