Please make test run. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:08, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Hi, I've had the bot make a test edit at Special:diff/1101079610, outside of it's normal time. There doesn't seem to be any issues. I'll have it make one more edit at the intended time around 00:00 UTC. ARandomName123 (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

The on-schedule edit is at Special:diff/1101148145. ARandomName123 (talk) 00:03, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Please use meaningful edit summary. EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:56, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Changed to "Daily statistics update for en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles" ARandomName123 (talk) 17:37, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Edit with the new summary here: Special:diff/1101699631 ARandomName123 (talk) 01:05, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Looks OK for me. EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:47, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Does this mean my bot is free to operate normally now? ARandomName123 (talk) 16:56, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

I think will be good idea to wait for several days before closing this request. EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:43, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Sure, sounds good. ARandomName123 (talk) 16:24, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:26, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

That would be great. I will keep a an eye on Data:URAstats Data.tab to make sure that the bot is operating as intended, and liaise with @ARandomName123 if anything goes wrong. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 07:16, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
