Function details: Due to a recent change in permissionOTRS, confirmationOTRS should be used to confirm permission for text. This bot task will find pages now throwing errors, and change the template. If the template does not specify a licence, I will then manually check the ticket and insert the licence. I will also run genfixes and the Wiki project module at the same time to fix any issues in the WP templates. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  13:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

since people do this semi-manually, maybe it's better that you do all the changes semi-manually too? Less than 400 pages left. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I was already doing this semi-manually. Whether a bot request is worthwhile due to the drop in errors is another thing. Of course, it may be worth going through all the pages transcluding ConfirmationOTRS and standardising the paramiters to avoid future errors, but I'll leave that up to you lot to decide. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  14:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Btw, there is a bot trial request for you. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Be careful when replacing text. Check line 21. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * And please fix the edit summary so it does not link to a red link. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:20, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I only spotted the red-link after I'd finished (I had fixed it for this edit, but it appears the code didn't stick. No other major issues spotted on my end. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  15:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * not to replace any other text. Bot approved. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:25, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
