Bot remove template pending submission in case that there are more than 1 template on page.

Please add the functionality to remove {{tl|userspace draft}} from AFC submissions which were manually moved and / or accidenatlly added. (similar to existing BFRA although that handles only own moved pages) User:Alpha Quadrant is doing this at the moment with AWB manually every week (or so). mabdul 19:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

• This task would be of great use for Articles for Creation. Without a bot, we have to remove the extra review templates manually. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 20:38, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

{{BotTrial|edits=30}} Seems to be uncontroversial task useful to AfC crowd. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

• So old {{tl|AFC submission/declined}} templates on re-submitted articles will not be removed? joe•roe^t•c 21:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Has this been resolved? (or have I misinterpreted and that is unrelated to this task?) --Chris 08:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

:That would be another new task/BFRA for this bot. At the moment (similar to the review instructions) it is only requested to remove unused pending templates. See also WT:AFC at the bottom. mabdul 10:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

::Yes it was resolved as you can see at Joe's talk Petrb (talk) 10:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, looks good. {{BotApproved}} --Chris 12:54, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
