How are these tasks currently being performed? — xaosflux Talk 00:06, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned in the linked discussion, people are currently doing it manually. Bullets 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 were specifically suggested in that discussion, I added 3 after seeing that people did that manually too, and 5 seems like it would be useful (and already existed in the TFDClerk code I copied anyway).

Approved for trial (100 edits or 15 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. OK to trial. — xaosflux Talk 11:43, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have the ability to closely monitor the number of edits for a long-running trial like this. It'll automatically stop after 15 days, but if someone happens to notice it has made more than 100 edits that include "User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/CFDClerk" let me know and I'll stop it early.

Variance up to 250 edits is OK as needed. — xaosflux Talk 02:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We're up to 93 edits so far: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93. After seeing #81, I added some code to avoid edits like that (that only add/remove blank lines and insignificant spaces) when editing the daily pages. Anomie⚔ 14:00, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110. I'm going to leave it running for the moment since overflow up to 250 was authorized and people may already be depending on the new "Old unclosed discussions" subpage. I've already taken care of edits like 107 and 101/102. Anomie⚔ 14:49, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for extended trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. initial edits look good, lets let it run for a week - report back any concerns. — xaosflux Talk 15:44, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've monitored it on an almost daily basis and haven't seen any problems during the entire trial. It's great! Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Approved. Task approved. — xaosflux Talk 12:24, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
