Tagging BabbaQ as the editor who asked for this at WP:BOTREQ Hasteur (talk) 19:55, 7 June 2020 (UTC) {{BAGAssistanceNeeded}}. I believe this is relatively easy and would hope BAG could move this forward Hasteur (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Trial complete. 42 pages. @BabbaQ: Your assistance would be appreciated. Hasteur (talk) 02:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

@Hasteur: It looks good. And trial completed. BabbaQ (talk) 06:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, would it make more sense to put the template on its own line? Primefac (talk) 17:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: I'm happy to add a newline so that the template will be broken out to it's own line. It's a trivial change. Hasteur (talk) 17:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Excellent.
