I'm not sure if this requires authorization, but I'm applying to be on the safe side. This task is intended to allow the bot to collect information about images from Geograph projects on Commons and to write that information into subpages of its own user page. These will generally be detecting anomalies that are hard to find using Special:Search. In the past I've manually updated User:Bjh21/images rejected from Geograph and User:Bjh21/duplicate Geograph IDs by hand based on the output of a script, but it would be simpler to have the scripts directly update wiki pages. --bjh21 (talk) 14:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

- Please make run test. I think it's reasonable to get feedback on content of such reports. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- I seem to have missed this request earlier, but I've now done a test run of each report that the bot currently supports: Special:Diff/566552840 and Special:Diff/566567286. Future runs will replace the contents of each of those pages. Note that there are some entries in the reports that I've already acted on, so they're already slightly out of date. --bjh21 (talk) 18:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
