I don't expect that this should be controversial, but I'll start a discussion at WP:VPR if necessary. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:29, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. If possible, please also post how many pages were skipped, just for my own edification as far as how many pages we can expect to have edited on a full run. If not that's fine.
