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. ]
