For Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/TFA Protector Bot 3. The 30-day trial is being spread over 60 days to allow for a comparison of the impact of semi-protection vs no protection. Please feel free to contribute commentary or opinions on the quality or value of specific edits. The goal is to be able to understand what edits hypothetical the protection stopped from happening and at what quantity.
