Trial complete. Done, everything worked as expected: [1] -FASTILY 06:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Special:Diff/724275957, you dated the file as tagged today, but it was actually tagged two days ago. I guess this doesn't matter, though. Shouldn't a date also be added to the files in Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date? --Stefan2 (talk) 10:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The bot is scheduled to run daily when approved, so there's no point in writing complicated (and error-prone) code which attempts to resolve supposed tag date. Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date is not part of this task, because of low demand (very few files have a different transferred name on Commons) and because it'll require separate logic (e.g. parsing the {{Now Commons}} template). I'll consider doing this in the future if there is a demand for it. -FASTILY 23:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. What happens if a file in Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons as of unknown date uses the bot or reviewer parameters? --Stefan2 (talk) 12:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's no other active bot adding {{Now Commons}} to any pages, and I'll be filtering reviewed files based on Category:Wikipedia files reviewed on Wikimedia Commons -FASTILY 18:05, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} If there are no other objections, could this be approved please, thanks. Also, ping for @Xaosflux. -FASTILY 23:34, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
