The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.

AvicBot on SqWiki/SqQuote

Hello, Avicennasis! I'm an admin at SqWiki and SqQuote. I usually deal with automated edits and technical stuff in general (since I have I-Admin privileges on those sites) and I stumbled upon your bot's existence. Is your bot still active in general? Does it help in our communities? I saw that his last contributions in SqWiki is in 2015 even though we don't have a lot of double redirects. I don't know if another global bot now does the job or something else has happened because I don't think anyone from our community has taken the time to fix the double redirects by hand all these years. - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:58, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
