Discussion
Note AnomieBOT II is being used for this task, as that account has the "templateeditor" group which will allow it to override the entries on MediaWiki:Titleblacklist preventing creation of these titles. Anomie⚔ 17:17, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Run a trial batch and let us know. — xaosflux  Talk 01:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I accidentally ran [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/AnomieBOT_III?offset=20150126052600&limit=7 the first 7] under User:AnomieBOT III rather than User:AnomieBOT II (I typed the wrong number). The remaining 18 were done under the correct account. ]Anomie][[User talk:Anomie|⚔ 05:33, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
