Hrm. If I recall correctly, there was a big stink late last year about bots doing this. Do you remember where it was (so I can find a link), and what the consensus outcome was? Genuine curiosity, really.

Apparently not, and I agree that this seems relatively uncontroversial. Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. If another member of BAG knows of the above discussion and I was right the first time, please feel free to remove this approval, as you have my implicit pre-approval to do so.
