Tracked in Phabricator
Task T282849

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I feel like this is a pretty straight-forward task, but let's just make sure the wheels don't fall off unexpectedly. Primefac (talk) 13:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Trial complete. @Primefac: The bot's edits were successful, except that AWB automatically creates a redlink in the edit summary when adding {{uncategorized stub}}. I have opened an AWB bug request for this issue. GoingBatty (talk) 03:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

 Approved. The redlink issue is obviously not something that heavily impacts the run (though obviously I'm glad you're getting it sussed out via the usual channels). Might be worth creating that page just to turn the redlink blue. Primefac (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
