I've made a test run using the bot on four pages. See the contribs for an example of the task. The bot was already approved for non-controversial find and replace tasks, but I wanted to make sure substing was OK. Mono 00:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is the second request for a bot to substitute {{Must be substituted}} templates. And there already is a bot performing those substitutions. Is that bot missing templates? If so, please notify its operator. --Dschwen (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It must be, as the contributions of WillieBot came from a template marked with that tag. Hence my application to address the problem. Mono 18:46, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - All four substitutions your bot made were of {{Scope}}, which is a redirect to {{Project scope}}. My guess would be that Hazard-Bot is not detecting redirects as tagged with must be substitued. I will ask the operator about this. I'd rather have one bot doing the entire job than two bots doing half a job each. --Dschwen (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - The bot operator is now aware of this issue. --Dschwen (talk) 15:41, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
