Discussion[edit]
Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Just want to make sure it doesn't accidentally edit somewhere it shouldn't (since this is date-sensitive). Primefac (talk) 08:28, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Primefac:
Trial complete. See these 100 edits. I have expanded the list of conversions above. Future runs would use the edit summary to "Updated maintenance template(s) for dead person & General fixes". Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 21:00, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
