Discussion
[edit]- Support: Seems a very suitable task for a bot, given the volume of edits that have to be made. There is consensus for such a task, as per the discussion linked above. Currently, just waiting at WP:TFD/H, for removal/orphaning. TheMagikCow (talk) 16:47, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial (50 edits) Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. in article space. Straight-forward task. Please use a random sample of pages. Do you intend to remove this from non-articles too? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Trial complete. - Edits - All existing non-article-space usage is in sandbox/drafts (i.e. other places where this template should be removed), so yes, I was planning on removing all transclusions. Primefac (talk) 17:27, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Checked all edits, looks good. The template seems to be used pretty much in just one way in references section. The only exception I see is Talk:Daniel Amen, which isn't a draft, but a copy paste of the section. I guess it's fine to remove too. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 17:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Approved. Everything looks good. Task based on a deletion consensus. Trusted botop. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 17:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
