::{{BotTrialComplete}} Done, everything worked as expected: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20160608061500&limit=50&contribs=user&target=FastilyBot&namespace=&tagfilter=] -FASTILY 06:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

• In Special:Diff/724275957, you dated the file as tagged today, but it was actually tagged two days ago. I guess this doesn't matter, though. Shouldn't a date also be added to the files in :Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date? --Stefan2 (talk) 10:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

::The bot is scheduled to run daily when approved, so there's no point in writing complicated (and error-prone) code which attempts to resolve supposed tag date. :Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date is not part of this task, because of low demand (very few files have a different transferred name on Commons) and because it'll require separate logic (e.g. parsing the {{tlx|Now Commons}} template). I'll consider doing this in the future if there is a demand for it. -FASTILY 23:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

:::Hm. What happens if a file in :Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date uses the bot or reviewer parameters? --Stefan2 (talk) 12:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

::::There's no other active bot adding {{tlx|Now Commons}} to any pages, and I'll be filtering reviewed files based on :Category:Wikipedia files reviewed on Wikimedia Commons -FASTILY 18:05, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

{{t1|BAGAssistanceNeeded}} If there are no other objections, could this be approved please, thanks. Also, ping for @Xaosflux. -FASTILY 23:34, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
