TheresNoTime (a deployer) told me on IRC that the patch might be delayed for now until possibly later today or probably tomorrow.

I'll get T423102: [lbwiki] Set wgAutoConfirmCount to 10 sorted, but it will be worth rescheduling this patch for another deployment window (either later, or tomorrow) - thanks for your patience!
