@TheSandDoctor:

Trial complete. 52 edits made - [1]. I did the first few manually to perfect the regex, and previewed the rest of the bot edits - didn't see any errors. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 05:10, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TheSandDoctor: {{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} its been a week since I finished the trial --DannyS712 (talk) 19:35, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the ping and sorry for the delay. Please see the below, DannyS712. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 04:47, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to leave the close for someone else. However, given the backlog, lack of recent BAG activity (myself included), and the fact that this task is uncontroversial and based on how well the trial went, I am inclined to make an exception for this. As per usual, if amendments to - or clarifications regarding - this approval are needed, please start a discussion on the talk page and ping. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 04:47, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
