Function details:@ShakespeareFan00 explains that This is requested because both Commons and Wikipedia policy has changed in significant ways since the vast bulk of the images were tagged. It would be tedious to remove the tag individually. Using AWB, I would go through the category and replace the copy to commons template with an empty string using AWB's find-and-replace.
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Seems like a fairly straightforward task, but I'd like to stick to the procedure and do a brief trial. I see your bot has never touched the File namespace so it will be simple to identify the edits. Just ping me when the trial is complete. — MusikAnimaltalk 01:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal:Trial complete. 50 edits made ([1]). The one complication I encountered is that File:De Sitter crater 4080 h3.jpg was skipped. Not sure why, but I don't think it really matters. The only issue that remains is to ask if these edits should be marked as minor or not? (I do trial edits as not-minor, so that they can be seen by relevant users) Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:02, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Approved. The handling of newlines was the only thing I was worried about, and I see that was done perfectly. I think the edits should be marked as minor, as they presumably are of no interest to page watchers and patrollers. If for whatever reason some pages are skipped, like you say, you can just re-run the task as needed until the category is empty. At that time, please tag Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by ShakespeareFan00 with {{db-c1}}. — MusikAnimaltalk 02:14, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
