Discussion
Comment: Have you considered whether you will need to check for the existence of the corresponding non-deprecated parameter before doing the replacement? You wouldn't want to end up with. If I were running this bot, I would either do a manual run with AWB and check each one, or skip instances where the supported parameter is already present. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have, and so far (I have one more check to run) I have yet to find any that fit that bill. Primefac (talk) 17:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: There are no pages that transclude this template that use both a deprecated parameter and its replacement. Primefac (talk) 19:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Groovy. Support, by the way. Cleanup is good. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
