Estimated number of pages affected: 300, full list here

Function details: Due to a recent change in {{permissionOTRS}}, {{confirmationOTRS}} should be used to confirm permission for text. This bot task will find pages now throwing errors, and change the template. If the template does not specify a licence, I will then manually check the ticket and insert the licence. I will also run genfixes and the Wiki project module at the same time to fix any issues in the WP templates. --Mdann52talk to me! 13:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK for swift trial, please post results following trial here

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdann52: since people do this semi-manually, maybe it's better that you do all the changes semi-manually too? Less than 400 pages left. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: I was already doing this semi-manually. Whether a bot request is worthwhile due to the drop in errors is another thing. Of course, it may be worth going through all the pages transcluding {{ConfirmationOTRS}} and standardising the paramiters to avoid future errors, but I'll leave that up to you lot to decide. --Mdann52talk to me! 14:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdann52: Btw, there is a bot trial request for you. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdann52: Be careful when replacing text. Check line 21. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And please fix the edit summary so it does not link to a red link. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:20, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. Unfortunately, I only spotted the red-link after I'd finished (I had fixed it for this edit, but it appears the code didn't stick. No other major issues spotted on my end. --Mdann52talk to me! 15:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdann52: not to replace any other text. Bot approved. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:25, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Magioladitis (talk) 12:25, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
