Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. (10 of each kind). — xaosflux ^Talk 01:58, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux:

Trial complete. Full trial. They are so interlinked I couldn't separate them into neat batches, so I did 50 edits, and they show all types. I ran the trial semi-automatically, but saved things as if it were automatic. Two problem edits happened

[3] (this was the only instance of insource:/ref name *= *"PubMed ID.*"/ in Wikipedia, which I've now fixed)
[4] (GIGO mostly |pmid 234213= is a bad parameter, but for the multiple PMIDs in a row, that's a curveball. The bot didn't break anything there though.)

There is also

[5], which required a follow up [6], due to the interactions of genfixes with the bot. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:25, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
