Line 53:
:::"In this case empty {{para|url}} have actually created some of the problem this bot is attempting to resolve." Removal is relevant to the purpose of the bot, and it's limited to the citation it edits as a secondary - it doesn't seek out other empty arguments in other citations. To nudge the community to do things with signals of encouragement is not the bot's intention. OTOH removal of {{para|url}} within the citations its edits is relevant to the bot's purpose. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 19:41, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
::::Personally, I have no issue with removal. The empty args are a waste of space and accomplish nothing from my viewpoint. Also basic bots working with cite templates, may encounter issues with empty URL parameters, though good coding can easily work around that.—[[User:Cyberpower678|'''<span style="color:darkgrey;font-family:monospace">CYBERPOWER</span>''']] <span style="font-family:Rockwell">([[User talk:Cyberpower678|<span style="color:olive">Chat</span>]])</span> 20:30, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
