 * Hiya! I do not think that this requires approval per WP:BOTUSERSPACE. Cheers! 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him &#124; talk) 00:50, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought about that, but considering DatBot has made 154000 edits and counting to User:DatBot/pendingbacklog I believe the 'low in number' requirement is disqualified. It would also affect pages other than the bots own userspace by virtue of transclusions. Dat GuyTalkContribs 12:11, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Since this is very similar to DabBot 4, which has been running for over five years, this should not be controversial. NPP is struggling right now with a large backlog, and I would like to draw more attention to it. Can we get a speedy approval? MB 23:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ,, can either of you help move this along. Thanks. MB 23:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * No concerns, similar to existing task and only one page to update on the same interval. — xaosflux  Talk 23:37, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
