It also recognizes all those templates which include a <references /> tag, not only the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Reflist" title="Template:Reflist">reflist</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> and it places <references /> instead of the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Reflist" title="Template:Reflist">reflist</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template (exept this would be required here). It is able to detect ref tags by the page content displayed on the screen instead of only one given template part as Mobius Bot does and which is not sure placing a ref tag. And last it find references tags in more various appearance. <a class="external text" href="https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge&dir=prev&offset=20081212230403&limit=500&target=Xqbot">here</a> are some samples of doing this job on de-wiki. -<a href="/wiki/User:Xqt" title="User:Xqt">Xqt</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Xqt" title="User talk:Xqt">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Xqbot_3#c-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-19T21:41:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:46, 19 May 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-19T21:41:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-19T21:41:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Betacommand-2010-05-19T23:04:00.000Z-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z"></span>what does it do for cases where vandalism wiped out most of the article? see my comment on the BRFA above. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Betacommand" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Betacommand">尾<sup><sub>command</sub></sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Xqbot_3#c-Betacommand-2010-05-19T23:04:00.000Z-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Betacommand-2010-05-19T23:04:00.000Z-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Betacommand-2010-05-19T23:04:00.000Z-Xqt-2010-05-19T22:46:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Josh_Parris-2010-05-20T08:27:00.000Z-Discussion"></span><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Symbol_keep_vote.svg/20px-Symbol_keep_vote.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="21" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Symbol_keep_vote.svg/30px-Symbol_keep_vote.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Symbol_keep_vote.svg/40px-Symbol_keep_vote.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="180" data-file-height="185"/></span></span> <b>Approved for trial聽(30 edits).

Basically, my view is that a small trial doesn't prejudice the outcome. Successful conclusion of the trial doesn't equate to bot approval. I didn't intend to disrespect or belittle your questions by way of this, and I hope the operator wouldn't interpret my behaviour as indicating your questions didn't demand answers; I certainly wouldn't close without them being addressed to your satisfaction. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Josh_Parris" title="User talk:Josh Parris">Josh Parris</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Xqbot_3#c-Josh_Parris-2010-05-21T06:57:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-20T17:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Josh_Parris-2010-05-21T06:57:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-20T17:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Josh_Parris-2010-05-21T06:57:00.000Z-Betacommand-2010-05-20T17:18:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Betacommand-2010-05-21T14:42:00.000Z-Josh_Parris-2010-05-21T06:57:00.000Z"></span>Instead you allow the bot to blindly damage wikipedia. before trialing a bot you should have all the major bugs worked out.

A good solution would be waiting a delay time before a vulnerable page is changed. My script is based on the pwb created nearby 3 years ago and I am running it since 1 1/2 years on de-wiki. This means I get reported if any behavior would be wrong and I am able to fix it in mean time. A trial period is also period to test the behavior and optimize it if needed. On the other hand it could help to improve if you could give me a sample of these cases where errors are lurking in your opinion.
