- @Primefac: Should I withdraw this? Just noting that GalaxyBot updated these stats for three days and there are no issues with the updates. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am assuming the first one somehow didn’t work or you forgot about it :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
