Discussion
[edit]- Comment I would do these manually, but 1,222 pages is a decent chunk. Would be a one time only task. --TheSandDoctor Talk 04:04, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- @Xaosflux: Trial complete., sorry about the two edits to the User namespace. They were accidental and caused by me getting the math wrong for offsets in a limited category run (complicated by the fact that user and talk namespaces are spotted throughout the category listing). With that said, the bot did, however, work correctly in every edit, including the two accidental user space edits. --TheSandDoctor Talk 23:06, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
