Discussion
has requested this for a number of templates. Here are [ 163 sample edits] from JudoInside. (It was run with general fixes since it was semiautomatic. I will not enable them on the bot. ) —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 20:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC) 04:57, 12 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Support as requester. Thank you, JJMC89. Also, note that this excludes template transclusions in references. I've made a first draft of Wikidata property migration, for template talk pages, as described above. However, I have concerns that the seven-day wait would leave a window for people to add new instances of the template being migrated, whose data would not be on Wikidata when the bot operates. A shorter delay would reduce the likelihood of this being an issue. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:55, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with shortening the delay period. The categorization will ensure that only IDs that have been migrated and match those on Wikidata are removed. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 15:54, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Thanks again. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Please provide a few sample before and after versions of an article that will be changed in this way. — xaosflux  Talk 13:07, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this is what are looking for since I provided [ these sample edits] above.

 * Fashionmodel tagged with . On hold up to a week per step 2. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 18:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I have corrected the issue in my module ( adds an extra newline to the end of the last section.) that could cause insignificant changes with general fixes enabled if the desired task was not performed. If there are no objections I will run this task with general fixes enabled. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 04:57, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The bot edited as intended: [ 40 edits] . The first half were without general fixes, and the second half had them enabled. Are there any objections and/or preferences for running this task with general fixes? —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'd prefer it, please, if you removed the link to my user page from your edit summary, and linked instead to this page, or another which explains the task. By all means mention me on such a page, but I'd rather people read an explanation before being encouraged to contact me about it. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:24, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It will be a link to a page in the bot's userspace after this is approved. If I need to run more trial edits, I will point it here. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 19:58, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Let's see a final run - you may want to have a request list etc on the bot page or bot subpage, use some 's and link to requests if you want. I'd rather see this run without genfixes if it will be "Automatic".  —  xaosflux  Talk 01:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

 * The bot edited as intended: [ 50 edits] . —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
