Discussion
188.191.19.243, this discussion only flags the bot on the English Wikipedia. I will take a search of other common language Wikipedias and if there is a good amount of pages, I will see what I can do. :) -- Cheers, Ri l ey    19:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You don't need a bot for this and it is a tiny, easy task. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 18:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * 800-900 pages editing stupid manually? Uhm why? mabdul 19:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a small task and I wouldn't even consider having a bot for this. 800-900 pages could be done by any user with AWB. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 19:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I would like to ask you to make changes across all Wiki languages. Please help. I can't do it manually by myself even in just English version.--188.191.19.243 (talk) 19:37, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But if not,.. what should I do? Do it manually page by page?--188.191.19.243 (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If not, I will do it with a tool on my account (although I was not doing that originally because it is not prefered but I will have no choice if this is unsuccessful) -- Cheers, Ri l ey    20:13, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * - All went well except when I accidently switched the edit summary and didn't notice until closer to the end. (which I then fixed) -- Cheers, Ri l ey    00:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked at a random selection of diffs and they all looked good  ·Add§hore·  T alk T o M e ! 00:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
