  1. Template must have 1000+ pages in a "bad parameters" category and/or be a template merger with 1000+ transclusions
  2. Discussion must be present and consensus agrees that a bot run will be necessary to remove the bad params
  3. A list will be created for the parameters to be removed/changed/updated/etc
