Function Summary: Remove {{afd-mergefrom}} where the merge has been completed. Report {{afd-mergefrom}} where the AFDed page is a redirect to a different page.
Edit period(s)(e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Periodic
Already has a bot flag(Y/N): Y
Function Details: Per
request, the bot will go through uses of {{afd-mergefrom}} (and redirects) and examine the redirect status of page specified in the first unnamed parameter. If the AFDed page is a redirect to the subject page of the talkpage containing {{afd-mergefrom}}, the template will be removed. If the AFDed page is a redirect to a different page, it will be reported to an appropriate page.
Discussion
The source is available
here. The report page is currently set to
User:AnomieBOT/Afd-mergefrom report, but this can be easily changed. The run period is currently set to 6 hours, but this can also be easily changed. I may also add handling of "if the AFDed page has been deleted", which will probably result in removing the template.

Approved for trial (15 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Seems a very useful task, allowing editors to see which mergers are still pending.

Trial complete.[1] I stopped the "main" run after 14 edits, so the 15th could be updating the reporting page.
