@DannyS712: Not sure if the bot is the cause, but Bouzeron and Amelécourt, the 2 first articles of the trial, have an added redlinked category named Category:Geo articles needing translation from French Wikipedia, although the 48 others are perfect.

@Sadenar40000: All of the other pages had {{Expand French}} - those 2 had {{expand language}}. My mistake - those 2 I did manually before telling AWB to auto save. I'll adjust the regex to skip pages with {{expand language}} instead of {{Expand French}}; Ideally, all {{expand language}}s should be replaced by the language corresponding to langcode, but that is a task for later. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:08, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I'll post another request for that task tomorrow then.Sadenar40000 (talk) 00:10, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively, it works with {{expand language}} if the topic is set to Geography ([1] [2]) so I could try that instead, but maybe that should be a separate task --DannyS712 (talk) 00:11, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It would be added complexity for no benefit, a switch would be wiser, but that is, once again, a discussion for another request. Sadenar40000 (talk) 00:14, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712: All of the 41 communes that turned up after a petscan of Category:Articles needing translation from French Wikipedia have had their expand language template switched to expand French, I am pretty sure there is no need to add a skip anymore.

@Sadenar40000: Okay. Thanks for running through that - I think this is ready to go then? @Primefac? --DannyS712 (talk) 23:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
