Function overview: Replacement of outdated OTRS templates to generic templates per consensus of OTRS to Znuny LTS migration project team, see: phab:T280392, c:Commons:Bots/Requests/VRTS Migration Bot. Mentions of "OTRS" shall be replaced per advice from the WMF legal team per discretion of the migration team.
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Perl
Source code available: No
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): phab:T280392
Edit period(s): Continuous
Estimated number of pages affected: Not yet known, suspect around 1k or 10k.
Namespace(s): Mostly file and article talk, perhaps all namespaces in small amount.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Could be done if any need arises, but per nature of the task should likely be not done without special need.
Adminbot (Yes/No): Not from the start, but perhaps template editor or similar could be required later.
Function details: See c:Special:Contributions/VRTS Migration Bot. More details available on request, program code for enwiki is not complete and is to be continuously developed.
(Additional templates may be affected later after separate discussion and approval.)
A little background can found here here. I thought this request might be corporate legal gold-plating, but given the recent events it seems prudent. William Avery ( talk) 09:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.

Replacing the template as requested here is ok. But I note that replacing references in free text would likely be WP:CONTEXTBOT, and I would not include that in an approval here at this time. Anomie ⚔ 11:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply
In addition, could you please make a list of all template name replacements (before/after) this task will be doing, and drop a link to WP:VPM and Wikipedia talk:Volunteer Response Team. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 13:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply
The templates are moved and test edit are made as requested, see: Special:Contributions/VRTS Migration Bot. -- Krd 07:10, 6 June 2021 (UTC) reply
