Discussion
[edit source]This task reads very similar to User:PrimeBOT/30. Also, is |format= the only major param that needs removal? Primefac (talk) 17:53, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Primefac: I wasn't aware of PrimeBOT 30. If you would like to take that on, that is fine and I can withdraw (you can consider this a withdraw statement in that case). Format is the only listed param that has been removed that used to work and would now "pollute" the category. --TheSandDoctor Talk 18:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- File:Symbol abstain vote grey.svg Withdrawn by operator. For the record, I wouldn't have had any issue with letting this bot handle the task, but I was already mid-run for a similar removal so it seemed appropriate to just tack it on to the end. Primefac (talk) 20:56, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
