Following some experimental regex coding with the AWP (the program used for mass wiki editing), I have found a way to mass-edit wordbubbles to successfully remove the timestamp " /23:23, April 2, 2016 (UTC)" from them.

The timestamp is a bit of a relic, used before ARPW had a proper forum and comment system which automatically logged posting time and forces us to keep around a bunch of duplicate templates. Normally, a few batch edits would fix an issue like that, but because of the way the old template was coded it was difficult to tell the AWP which text to remove (thanks CHB).

Fortunately, all WBs using a timestamp will now be updated. But the process will take time as the program takes a while to chew through all the posts (per template). Once done, they will look almost identical to the original form and the old, outdated templates will be turfed out.

TL;DR Version I'm upgrading the WBs, in theory this should be a silent task and won't interfere with normal operations. If you did used to put timestamps into WBs, please check your posts for missformatting in case your template has been upgraded.
