{{BAG assistance needed}} Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:59, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Tenshi Hinanawi: Monkbot 22 is not your bot. Are you sure you added the above to the correct request?

—Trappist the monk (talk) 14:11, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm sure that I added it to the correct request. Tenshi! (Talk page) 14:26, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The documentation for {{BAG assistance needed}} says:
"This is intended for use if urgent attention is needed or if a request is being neglected (wait seven days first)." (quotes in original)

What is it about this BRFA that requires 'urgent attention'? Surely it can't be because 7 days 12 hours 20 minutes had elapsed since the BRFA was posted... Can it?

—Trappist the monk (talk) 14:55, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't inherently require urgent attention, and that was why I put the template here, yes. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:48, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I must echo TTM here; the BAG folk are all volunteers, and for a non-urgent task such as this one (and I mean really non-urgent, given the merge has been listed since 2022!) you should not be banging on the doors of BAG members to get our attention. I'm not going to ask/tell you to stop pinging us ever but please do be considerate, especially since I have all but been ignoring your pings using the {{@BAG}} template recently.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind from now on. Tenshi! (Talk page) 14:12, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Big count I know, but this is a merge that has been in limbo for a long time because of the complexity and I want to make sure we hit as many possible outliers as possible in the trial. Primefac (talk) 12:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. diffs.

Noting that I'm not seeing any issues here but will leave it for a week just to see if there is any feedback on the process. Primefac (talk) 22:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Primefac (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Post-approval note; following a discussion at WP:BOTN, this task has been expanded from the Article space to cover all namespaces in the interest of completing the task of orphaning the to-be-deleted template family. Primefac (talk) 11:58, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
