Description

Turn on the bot and make sure:
- The text is all in Arabic (All translatewiki items checked)
- The bot is not using the bot flag (but assigned autoreview flag to avoid any abusefilter on arwiki).
- The bot is not making any duplicate posts or anything outside of the expected.

@alanajjar Apologies for the long wait! This has now been deployed. We will be keeping an eye on Special:Contribs/Community Tech bot. Let us know if something looks off, or if the bot failed to edit when you think it should have.

Thanks a lot @MusikAnimal. I put a notice on arwiki village pump, and we'll monitor the bot edits too. Thanks again

Well that didn't take long: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/50662771

Everything looks correct to me. Can you confirm, @alanajjar? We're happy to continue monitoring if you feel it's necessary. I'm not too worried about the bot making duplicate posts or the like, as we haven't seen this problem on other wikis.
