Congratulations
Congratulations in making Danganronpa V3 GA! Now every main installment in the franchise is GA :D (although I have barely touched the "shooting" game). The anime sequel and Makoto and Hajime are also GA so there has been a major improvement in regards to the series this year. If you feel like editing another article from the series, tell me and we could work together. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 20:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Blacklisted-links
Lee. I'm confused by {{Blacklisted-links}} template. When I look at Ken Doherty (for instance) it had this template (although invisible is set to true). However there don't seem to be any links to the offending sites in the article any more, and it seems there haven't been for some time. I've been assuming that the bot would automatically remove the Blacklisted-links template from the article but it seems from this example that this is not the case. Does it have to removed manually? Nigej (talk) 17:29, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- I actually don't know. I'd assume the bot would remove this, but it might not be immediate. I'd probably remove them manually. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:49, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'll have a little play with it. I've deleted the {{Blacklisted-links}} template from 2 articles, 1 valid, 1 where cuetracker is still used. Hopefully it will get added back to the invalid one. Nigej (talk) 19:27, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- Having a look at the BRFA, it doesn't seem like it's an automated removal. Cyberpower678 may know more though. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:07, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
