Now that it's manual, it's probably within the regular rules of AWB (using your normal/nonbot account). Just make sure you check every edit before you save). - Jarry1250 ^{[Vacation needed]} 19:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. on the following provisos: (1) could the edit summary be changed to "subst:'ing template" (2) could the edit summary please link to a discussion of why this is being done, e.g. in the bot's userspace (3) the obvious namespace restriction applies and (4) please be careful, people do get grumpy when it's their usertalk pages at stake! :) Best, - Jarry1250 ^{[Vacation needed]} 18:12, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
