{{BotTrial|edits=50|period=no}} in article space. Straight-forward task. Please use a random sample of pages. Do you intend to remove this from [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Research_help&namespace=0&limit=500&hidelinks=1&invert=1&hideredirs=1 non-articles] too? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

:{{BotTrialComplete}} - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/PrimeBOT&offset=20170304180000&limit=51&target=PrimeBOT Edits] - All existing non-article-space usage is in sandbox/drafts (i.e. other places where this template should be removed), so yes, I was planning on removing all transclusions.

::Checked all edits, looks good. The template seems to be used pretty much in just one way in references section. The only exception I see is Talk:Daniel Amen, which isn't a draft, but a copy paste of the section. I guess it's fine to remove too. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

{{BotApproved}} Everything looks good. Task based on a deletion consensus. Trusted botop. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
