Discussion
There is one active bug with parsing pipes in template variables. I have reviewed the full run from the bot and estimate this will affect less than 15 articles. I have the entire output logged and can remediate the bot's errors on the fly as necessary. Nakon 05:32, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * This bot appears to have edited since this BRFA was filed. Bots may not edit outside their own or their operator's userspace unless approved or approved for trial. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:36, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * These were two early edits that I made through the bot account that I reverted because of an invalid target. The bot has since been restricted to the test wikis.   Nakon  05:42, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The bot has been blocked pending approval. Nakon  05:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * As you obviously have your proposed bot under control, blocking is not necessary - feel free to remove. — xaosflux  Talk 14:57, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
