Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. That will give us a fair idea of the extent and what it should be doing. — E ↗^T ^C ^B 05:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. But somebody has to approve the Account at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage, so I can do a trial. ChristianBier (talk) 09:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the account's been approved for trial. Go for it. – Quadell ^(talk) 13:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, some test edits with some different graphics done. Hope that's okay. ChristianBier (talk) 22:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you manually giving the bot a list of PNGs that can be replaced? Does your code say "[[Image:green up.png]] -> [[Image:Green Arrow Up.svg|12px]]"? Or is it searching all non-SVGs on the page, looking at their image descriptions, and seeing if any say an SVG is available to replace? – Quadell ^(talk) 14:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I manually give the bot a list for replaces. ChristianBier (talk) 14:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Just be careful to double-check a few examples for each substitution, and specify pixel widths when necessary. – Quadell ^(talk) 14:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
