Notification of new adminbot task left at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Admin_bot_task_-_delete_old_POTD_process_pages. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:06, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Anomie: please create a WP:TFD discussion (individual page tagging absolutely not required) for the batch, to ensure that all venues that could be involved in this have had an opportunity to participate. We'd be looking for a tfd result of "speedy delete" - as that is how you want to proceed in the future. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:49, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Sigh. Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 March 9#Old Template:POTD_protected/YYYY-MM-DD templates. Anomie⚔ 20:18, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - (FWIW I'm fine with a "delete" result due to the way it was explained). There is at least one question awaiting an answer at the TFD right now. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:22, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (10 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. as the TfD is going this way, go ahead and do the trials while it is pending. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Trial complete. assuming the "10 edits" includes deletions. Instead of starting from the beginning I had it start with 2009-01-01 so it could have 5 of each: [1][2] Anomie ⚔ 00:54, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  @Anomie: ok looking fine, give me a ping when the TfD closes and I'll move this to approved. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:02, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
