::::{{ping|Dmehus}} i.e. unprotecting [[protection test]], reverting [[displaytitle test]], etc... [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 20:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Naleksuh}} Okay, thanks, that's a bit more help. I'm not seeing any test edits of [[Displaytitle test]], which is fine since your bot hasn't been approved for a trial, but I would being willing to support a '''trial run''' for '''10 edits''' of [[Displaytitle test]] to see it in action, as it's (a) pretty non-controversial and (b) a less active testing page. For the [[protection test]] and [[deletion test]], I would say that I don't feel there's a clear ''need'' here. By its very nature, [[protection test]] is for testing page protection, so the very act of unprotecting a page is itself a practicing of using the administrator's tools. For similar reasons, undeleting a page that was inadvertently not undeleted is, itself, a test of the deletion and undeletion function.

:::::[[Category test page]] is also something I could provisionally support for a '''trial run''', after which it could be permanently approved, as this is equally non-controversial (i.e., removing of test categories added to that page).

:Despite my love of bots and automation, I'm inclined to say this is automation for the sake of automation. I'm not massively seeing the need here and I don't think the task is as black and white as it seems on paper. I therefore am not willing to accept this as described.
