Discussion

This has been done before, not controversial, and has human involvement. I was tempted to {{BotSpeedy}} but alas, I shall settle to give you a trial. Tim 1357 ^talk 00:37, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Tim 1357 ^talk 00:37, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thats namespace 0 by the way. (Just add "-main" to the command line when you run it.) Tim 1357 ^talk 00:39, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. CrimsonBlue (talk) 01:10, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The python program wouldn't allow me to choose anything besides Dollar Sign when I was doing the $ disambiguation page, so I skipped those that weren't related, because I didn't feel delinking was appropriate. CrimsonBlue (talk) 01:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it prompts you with an option to [a]dd another option to the list. Tim 1357 ^talk 01:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out =) CrimsonBlue (talk) 06:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Because CrimsonBlue is going to be assisting the bot, and I don't see the difference between this and wikicleaner ToBeHonest. Go forth and fix links to disambiguation pages! Tim 1357 ^talk 04:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
