I would also like to ask approval to such small runs in the future without explicit approval, I'll leave that decision in the hands of the BAG though.
Discussion
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. For the record, another active bot has an approved task to handle this sort of work, so I am seeing this as a one-off task. In the future, if the operator is around and willing to help, I would prefer the already approved bot to handle the task. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
