Trial complete. Log at User:Legobot/Logs/23. Legoktm (talk) 16:26, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Originally I asked for just ap.google.* links, but would it be possible to extend this to any website where its clear that the entire subdomain/domain has gone down and won't be coming back up? Sfan has started making a list here. The code would pretty much be the same, just different URLs. Legoktm (talk) 02:45, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

I've reviewed the trial, it looks good, and I have no objections to the expansion of the task. If no one else has an objection within a day or so, I'll approve. Cheers, — madman 06:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
