Trial complete. - see these edits. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note that I have a bot approved for this task, but any additional help in the area is great! The BRFA also has some more template conversions if that helps. Frostly (talk) 00:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Frostly: Thanks! Most of these do NOT rely on AWB's genfixes, and I've added some requests for AWB developers to expand the genfixes. GoingBatty (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
