{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Was this trial ever run? —xaosflux^Talk16:38, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I ran a few edits and realized I needed to make the logic a bit more complex. Then I started using mwparserfromhell. I sort of stopped working on it because I was busy with other projects, but I'll try diagramming the logic on paper and writing it in today.Enterprisey (talk!) _{(formerlyAPerson)}16:44, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
