{{BotSpeedy}} ~~simple non-article one-off task. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:27, 23 December 2016 (UTC)~~[reply]

I completely misread this as making numerous "CFD" tags. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:33, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not formally withdrawing this, but this entire AFD process is getting a bit out of hand (AFD nom is up to something like 1000 pages); I'm going to request that this gets put on hold for the moment until I figure out exactly what's going on.

Okay, it's back on. I thought it might extend to multiple AFDs, but it's just this one. Primefac (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. The AfD is live so we should probably get moving with the tagging. Please include some checks to skip articles that are already tagged — MusikAnimal ^talk 04:55, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. Primefac (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. @Primefac: This edit also included some changes to whitespace, and while I don't find that particularly problemsome (I assume it was AWB's standard cleanup), if we can avoid it that'd be preferred. Otherwise maybe also include "general cleanup" (or what have you) in the edit summary — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
