Discussion

Bot has already been running with this change in place for about the last 36-48 hours. I felt that this change would fall under the definition of "improve the operation of a particular task" in the bot policy, but after consulting with User:Jarry1250, I decided to put in another BRfA just to be safe.

Nice of you to check. Looks fine to me. Anyone have a problem with this expansion to the bot's functionality? – Quadell ^(talk) 18:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 Approved. No problem. – Quadell ^(talk) 18:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
