Discussion

Does it correctly handle the counts for users who were renamed? – SD0001 (talk) 17:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, is the page's lede text editable on-wiki? I suggest putting that text into a /header subpage and transcluding, so that changes won't be overwritten by the bot. – SD0001 (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SD0001: Header has been implemented! Yeah, promotion counts are tallied based off of version history, so it accounts for renames. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It also, on a case-by-case basis, accounts for sockpuppetry! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to double-check, this only edits a single page, yes? Primefac (talk) 10:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Primefac: only one outside of userspace, yeah :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
