• This was requested at WT:U and WT:UAA, where it hasn't drawn any opposition, and it seems straightforward. - Dank (push to talk) 22:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

{{BotTrial|edits=40}} Looks good; as Dank says, no apparent opposition. — The Earwig ^(talk) 22:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Seems there was only two pages which need editing :/, I guess NJA went through them manually (using KittyBot) quite well. However, both of the pages which KingpinBot edited were edited previously by KittyBot, but had more than one instance of :CAT:UAA (KingpinBot will remove every instance). - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 22:53, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

:I'm disappointed that we couldn't go through with the trial as planned, but I have no problem with two bots doing the same thing. If KittyBot is manual, but KingpinBot will run automatically every day, I suppose this is still approvable. Could you wait a few days, then run the bot, when there will hopefully be more pages to edit? — The Earwig ^(talk) 01:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

::Will do. By the way, KittyBot will not (afaik) continue running if this is approved. NJA (KittyBot's op) sees to prefer the idea of a automatic bot doing this task - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 06:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

:::{{BotTrialComplete}} Only did 39 edits, but hey :D. I had a problem where it was occasionally indenting the line after the category, but I fixed that just now. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

{{BotApproved}} Looks fine; not glaring problems (aside from the one you fixed), and is an uncontroversial task. — The Earwig ^(talk) 20:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
