Description

In this edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philip_Bourne&diff=700560196&oldid=700492602), BG19bot removed |language=English from several cs1 templates. At one time, [[Module:Citation/CS1]] added such templates to Category:CS1 maint: Unrecognized language so that |language=English could be easily discovered and removed. But, the module no longer adds |language=English to the category. Instead, the it accepts the parameter but does not render the language portion of the citation. This was done to aid the translation project at WP:MED for whom the parameter has value. There is no need to continue removing |language=English (or |language=en)

I believe that his is a general fixes issue (I never run AWB with general fixes turned on so can't say for sure). I do not know what version of AWB BG19bot is using.

This is a AWB feature to remove unnecessary parameters.

If AWB will still remove them, the maybe it needs to be added as a minor fix, instead of a normal general fix, since it is not skipped if "only minor gen fixes"

Not that easy. It's part of a non minor procedure that fixed citation templates.

The point of the request is that language=English is no longer an unnecessary parameter, therefore AWB should not remove it anymore.

Epic?Well, if it is unecissare, then it should perhaps remove it as any garbage, but not as a "single edit" cleanup.
