As there seems to be no recent BRfA for AWB CFD work, I think a trial is in order, especially as general fixes will be running at it appears historically that general fixes has been controversial. BRfAs I have seen for this kind of work seem to be about five or so years old. Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Josh Parris 01:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Looks good. As historically there have been other bots approved to do this task, the op is established, and some time has passed since the filing of the BRfA and there have been no objections, I'm going to declare  Approved. Josh Parris 05:02, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
