Commenting out is a good point. We'd discussed blanking or deleting, but not that. If we're doing bot edits, you're probably right that commenting out is best. Though I'm still not sure we should be doing bot edits and there were general concerns about leaving behind clutter (e.g., leaving user subpages around indefinitely that contain only commented-out code). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
