Discussion[edit]

• @Usernamekiran: (nitpick) could you release the source of your custom module under a permissive license? Thanks! EpicPupper (talk) 02:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @EpicPupper: the source code is at WP:AWB/CM#Remove a parameter from a template. The only change I made is to add all the redirects/aliases or the template on the same line. I can post the source code in my userspace if you'd like. —usernamekiran (talk) 05:42, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I tested the module with my alt account, in the 50 test edits there were no issues at all. The code available at WP:AWB/CM is perfect, the only change I made to that code was addition of redirects to the template. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• +200 edits, no issues. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:22, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• ((BAG assistance needed)) I used the module to edit around 2,500 articles, and did not see any issues so far. —usernamekiran (talk) 12:06, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
