Although the original request asked for "the" to be ignored when sorting alphabetically, this will be a configuration option, disabled by default. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:36, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (1 week). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Trusted botop, simple task. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to change the edit period to daily, if that's okay? Obviously it will still not edit if nothing needs to be done. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 13:41, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 13:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. Pretty dull, really, only edit was day one, the edit is here, and the report is here. Reports for the other six days of the trial are all in the report page history, although they all say the same thing (no changes made).

Anyway, despite the rather uneventful trial, I did do some testing in the bot's userspace. For example, placing a non-existent image in the list resulted in this report (note the error message, "File:I'mnotactuallyarealimage.jpg is missing, but no entry for that title was found in the deletion log at local wiki or commons (possible typo in file name)."). Additionally, I purposefully edit conflicted with the bot, which resulted in this report (note the error, "Edit conflict on saving User:ListManBot/BADIMAGE."). Seems to work pretty much fine, I'm happy to run any other tests in the bot's userspace if needed. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's a lot of naughty pictures I had to click to review... *ahem* — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 09:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trusted botop, simplish task, only 1 non-mainspace page affected. Approved. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 09:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
