• @Peacemaker67 and Hawkeye7: ping those who participated at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Bot proposal --DannyS712 (talk) 00:16, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

  I know nothing about bots, but what is proposed would be a useful automation. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:53, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

  @Peacemaker67: in that case, I converted it from a one-time run to be as needed (starting with the current 1054, then every few days/weeks probably) --DannyS712 (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

  Hi Danny, based on my knowledge of Milhist task force tagging, I'd suggest running it once a fortnight at first as see how much work it does. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:06, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - seems a pretty simple task to me, give it a whirl and let's make sure all works well. Thanks :) -- Tawker (talk) 03:58, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@Tawker: Trial complete. - 25 edits made - I checked all of them and didn't see any issues. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 04:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

I spotchecked a few, they all look like good edits to me. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:16, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Looks good to me  Approved. -- Tawker (talk) 18:51, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
