:::There might be dozens in the tracking cat and you'll need to know which ones, and when, to remove it. Meaning you'll have to go through each one, rechecking them continually for a change in status, then deciding if enough time is gone by, then make the edit. A single edit might take 15 minutes or more (or 15 minutes and no edit). I didn't make up this bot idea, I was approached by [[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] who does this work manually. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 01:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the ping. Truth is, the [[bus factor]] at peer review is often one, so this kind of thing often lingers for months to years before it's fixed and what's more, is often forgotten about and has to be rediscovered as an error. It's true that this not a particularly critical error, but having a bot look after this sort of automated task frees up volunteer time and headspace to work on other goals.

:::The fact that the bot doesn't edit often doesn't seem like a problem to me if it's doing useful work. I'm inclined to approve now provided we haven't seen any issues in the existing behavior. —&#8239;[[User:The Earwig|<span style="opacity:0.8;">The</span>&nbsp;Earwig]]&nbsp;([[User talk:The Earwig|talk]]) 04:56, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
