I'm the 'requester' for this, so would prefer if someone else from BAG can review for trial. Very low risk as it only will edit one page. For testing I suggest just tweaking the month thresholds to days to ensure it runs and produces output in a useful format. Perhaps @SQL: could approve the trial? — xaosflux ^Talk 13:00, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It edits one page, one time a month. Seems extremely uncontroversial, and run by an experienced botop. I don't see a way that this could possibly go sideways and cause disruption to the project. Let's see how it works, with Xaosflux's suggestion above, if you'd like.

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Let us know when you're happy with the results. SQL ^{Query me!} 15:48, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. 1 edit using days instead of months. (I used a different template to avoid pings in the trial.) Most recent CSS/JS edit for active:
