- Comment: Wouldn't null edits be less intrusive? Also, What Links Here says that there are 1065 transclusions of this template in all namespaces. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:05, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jonesey95: The request I have made is in accordance to the suggestion listed at Wikipedia:Purge#Null_edit --Cameron11598 (Talk) 15:40, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I do not see any recent changes in the history of this template. Can you please link to the template in question? – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:07, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jonesey95: see this template. Checking in AWB shows 495 transclusions. However the template transclusion tool shows ~750 transclusions. I've amended the BRFA accordingly. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 15:36, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm only looking to do article space so the 494 is correct. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 15:48, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. All 745 pages with transclusions have been null-edited. Please let me know if you see any problems. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:25, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
