::{{ping|DannyS712}} Not sure if the bot is the cause, but Bouzeron and Amelécourt, the 2 first articles of the trial, have an added redlinked category named :Category:Geo articles needing translation from French Wikipedia, although the 48 others are perfect. Sadenar40000 (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Sadenar40000}} All of the other pages had {{tl|Expand French}} - those 2 had {{tl|expand language}}. My mistake - those 2 I did manually before telling AWB to auto save. I'll adjust the regex to skip pages with {{tl|expand language}} instead of {{tl|Expand French}}; Ideally, all {{tl|expand language}}s should be replaced by the language corresponding to langcode, but that is a task for later. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:08, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

::::No problem, I'll post another request for that task tomorrow then.Sadenar40000 (talk) 00:10, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

:::Alternatively, it works with {{tl|expand language}} if the topic is set to Geography ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bouzeron&type=revision&diff=887163173&oldid=887151434&diffmode=source] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amel%C3%A9court&type=revision&diff=887163207&oldid=887151385&diffmode=source]) so I could try that instead, but maybe that should be a separate task --DannyS712 (talk) 00:11, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

::::It would be added complexity for no benefit, a switch would be wiser, but that is, once again, a discussion for another request. Sadenar40000 (talk) 00:14, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|DannyS712}} All of the 41 communes that turned up after a petscan of :Category:Articles needing translation from French Wikipedia have had their expand language template switched to expand French, I am pretty sure there is no need to add a skip anymore.

::::::{{ping|Sadenar40000}} Okay. Thanks for running through that - I think this is ready to go then? {{ping|Primefac|p=?}} --DannyS712 (talk) 23:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

• {{BotApproved}} though {{ping|DannyS712}} unless there is a good reason not to, you should additionally use the 'minor' flag on this run. Will leave that option to your discretion. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
