 * ((BotTrialComplete)) - see these diffs. I expanded this request to also include Portal bar and Subject bar. GoingBatty (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks, but it appears you completed almost all of these changes without a bot. GoingBatty (talk) 22:07, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * GoingBatty check if I missed anything please. I am off town so it was a boring task just to pass my time clicking save. :) Sorry if I spoiled the fun. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:47, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
