Also creates redirects from ISO 639 codes (covered by task 2 approval) and logs various suspicious cases to its userspace.

Discussion

Shweet. Approved for trial (50 redirects). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. (go over if you feel it is necessary to fix your code) Tim1357 ^talk 01:36, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Trial complete. Needed two runs because the logs contained lines they shouldn't have. All mainspace edits (i. e. the redirects) seem to be okay (Special:Contributions/PotatoBot). --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 18:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
