@Primefac, is your bot approved for this? — Qwerfjkl talk 07:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fix ping Primefac. ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:17, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I managed to somehow miss that discussion. Primefac (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know. Thanks for the info. What are next steps? Does Primefac want to take over this bot task, or should this BRFA move forward? –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I can handle it, might be a few days but it looks fairly straight-forward. Primefac (talk) 12:09, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae: Given that Primefac is going to do this as it is in scope, do you want to withdraw this or shall I deny it? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 04:05, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by operator. I'll go ahead and withdraw. Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:09, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as withdrawn per the above. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 16:27, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
