 * While working on the trial edits, I found another template, Template:RM bottom, so I'll include that as well and will do some of the trial edits on that. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. Change trial to 60 edits from the 50 (10 of each template). ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
