- I'll start small for the trial, and only do Italian Liberal Party (historical). And no, I'll leave the screen open at the side where I can see it while RC patrolling or playing a game, and check on it every minute or so. But after it's complete I'll pull out random diffs and see if anything wrong happened. --The Σ talkcontribs 06:39, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Then it's an "automatic unsupervised" task. Supervised implies that every edit is checked. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 06:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Trial complete. All test edits reverted for review. --The Σ talkcontribs 06:47, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Why did you revert them? Part of the trial is if editors of the trial-affected pages have any comments on the task.
Approved for extended trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 06:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
