 * I also set it to remove if it exists on the page in this case, to stop duplicate templates.  The  Helpful  One  16:39, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I will probably need more edits for this trial, as there was an issue here due to AWB's separate sections running on the page, and thus I need to check that it works before bot-mode is activated. The  Helpful  One  17:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, do some more until you are confident everything's resolved. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, okay so looked at some more test examples (until it was skipping pages as relevant) total edits are ~120, everything seems to be fine now. The  Helpful  One  17:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
