Discussion

Are we talking low hundreds or high hundreds? Also, I assume the bot will skip pages where the section headers go References/Further Reading/See also (i.e. there's an extra sub/section in between)? Primefac (talk) 17:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

@Primefac: So far, I found 4,106 articles that meet the first criteria above. Yes, it will skip articles with an extra sub/section in between. GoingBatty (talk) 05:04, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
