Trial complete. I've done the 20 edits, [1]. While doing the trial edits, I noitced another template, Template:SCOTMvoter, which should be substituted as well, so I'd like to expand the scope to include this as well. There are 26 occurences of this [2]. Would you like me to do 5 trial edits for this one? -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:37, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for extended trial (5 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. @WOSlinker: OK. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:24, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: Trial complete. I've done the extra 5 edits, [3]. These were all done manually as not all those posts had an timestamp with them, so I had to compare the ones either side or look back at the history of the pages to workout the relevant date. -- WOSlinker (talk) 23:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. Task approved, be sure to always use minor on these. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:08, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
