Discussion
This is a really straightforward task, so I was tempted to speedily approve it based on the edits done on your main account. However, I have a question. Since Addbot wasn't supposed to substitute older, would it be better to revert/fix the substitution by Addbot? Or, because we're dealing with IP talkpages, would it be easier and less of a hassle to just do what you've proposed?  Maxim (talk)  16:59, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry I meant to comment here earlier. I am halfway through fixing all of the template substitutions of older that the bot has done. If after I have completed this there are still instances I see no reason not to speedy the bot.  ·Add§hore·  Talk To Me! 02:09, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, if you have fixed them, I will withdraw this BRFA. -- Make  cat  09:23, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have unsubsted older on 3000 user talk pages removing the TFD template in the process :)  ·Add§hore·  Talk To Me! 14:23, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
