 * Unlikely to get to 10 edits any time soon, but the 3 from this trial run: Special:Diff/1150326465, Special:Diff/1150326494, Special:Diff/1150326535 — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 14:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Doesn't Estimated number of pages affected: 37 (varies) mean there are 37 pages at the moment meeting the criteria for editing? If not, wondering where the specific number comes from. – SD0001  (talk) 16:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've amended that — there were 37 pages in Category:Wikimedia Foundation staff. This only acts on (certain) locked accounts. I can't imagine it'll be a very active task here, as most members of staff use global user pages. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 16:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Low-volume, and already running on another project. – SD0001  (talk) 12:38, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
