 * Let's make sure this works and there aren't any further objections. Please link to this page in the edit summary. -- The SandDoctor Talk 17:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @TheSandDoctor: See (I accidentally ran this on my main account, not my bot account). &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:12, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * For the sake of updating the status. -- The SandDoctor Talk 02:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Qwerfjkl I just wanted to check in and confirm if the trial run yielded acceptable results, and if we can now apply the bot template to the remaining articles. --E-960 (talk) 07:49, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @E-960, That is up to @TheSandDoctor (or another BAG member). &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  08:03, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to leave the close for someone else. However, given the backlog, lack of recent BAG activity (myself included), and the fact that this task is uncontroversial and based on how well the trial went, I am inclined to make an exception for this. As per usual, if amendments to - or clarifications regarding - this approval are needed, please start a discussion on the talk page and ping. -- The SandDoctor Talk 20:04, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
