Discussion
Considering this is a manual task, and it is basically a clone of an already approved task, I move to speedy approve. If there are no objections/concerns etc in a day or two, I'll go ahead and approve it. -- Chris 04:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

(Please remember to create a userpage for the bot) -- Chris 03:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
