Discussion[edit]

Note AnomieBOT II is being used for this task, as that account has the "templateeditor" group which will allow it to override the entries on MediaWiki:Titleblacklist preventing creation of these titles. Anomie⚔ 17:17, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. I accidentally ran the first 7 under User:AnomieBOT III rather than User:AnomieBOT II (I typed the wrong number). The remaining 18 were done under the correct account. ][[User:Anomie|Anomie]⚔ 05:33, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
