[edit]
Comment. This is a really straightforward task, so I was tempted to speedily approve it based on the edits done on your main account. However, I have a question. Since Addbot wasn't supposed to substitute {{older}}, would it be better to revert/fix the substitution by Addbot? Or, because we're dealing with IP talkpages, would it be easier and less of a hassle to just do what you've proposed? Maxim(talk) 16:59, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry I meant to comment here earlier. I am halfway through fixing all of the template substitutions of {{older}} that the bot has done. If after I have completed this there are still instances I see no reason not to speedy the bot. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 02:09, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
- OK, if you have fixed them, I will withdraw this BRFA. --Makecat 09:23, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
- I have unsubsted {{older}} on 3000 user talk pages removing the TFD template in the process :) ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 14:23, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
