{{BotComment}} This task was previously approved for trial at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/RileyBot 15 but due to retirement, never occured. Reopening now that I am back. -- Cheers, Riley 07:19, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
:Sounds mostly fine; is it aware of {{tl|redr}} and friends? — Earwig ^talk 03:11, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
::{{Ping|The Earwig}} Indeed it is, as well as any other redirect templates I can think of. {{BotTrialComplete}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/RileyBot&dir=prev&offset=20160202185918&target=RileyBot Specific contributions] -- Cheers, Riley 06:04, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
:::Hmm, we didn't get a chance to test any edge cases, but that sorta makes sense given how few pages are likely to already include (e.g.) {{tl|redr}} without also being tagged as a section. Last question: are you checking for :Category:Redirects to sections directly? — Earwig ^talk 04:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
::::It's checking indirectly via templates and directly via :Category:Redirects to sections. :) -- Cheers, Riley 05:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::Good, that's what I was hoping. {{BotApproved}} — Earwig ^talk 05:36, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
