Requests for bot status is a page to ask for a bot flag for your bot on any Wikimedia project. Completed requests are archived

Stewards grant bot status for accounts, but please remember - your bot must first be accepted by the local community. Please be sure to check the following bot policies before submitting a bot request:

Wikipedia: ar cs de el en es fa fi fr he id it ja jv lad lb lt ms nds nl no os pl ro ru simple sl ta th tr vi zh;

Wikiquote: en he

Wiktionary: de

Please be sure you'll include all of the following info in your request:

The bot owner,
The bot account,
The Wiki project on which you ask for bot status,
A link to the local announcement page;

If anything will be missing from your request, you will be asked by a steward to give more information. Also, please don't skip the last point even if there's no community on the project, or there's no announcement page - if that's the case, just be bold and make one!

Stewards: all requests presented here should be archived when fulfilled.

Operator lt:User:Audriusa
Note: The bot will be used in Lithuanian wikipedia only, where it is running for the long time and is accepted by the community of that project. If more exactly, the policy, implemented by the bot, was first accepted in community, and after some time of manual work it was automated by writing the bot.

I request for bot flag in: bg, sq, uk and hr. I´ve already have flag in es, but I´ll like to work in iterwikis. I have seen that this wikipedias need to be updated in years, so I want to work on them too.--FAR 15:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Complete Requests

Previous requests were moved to archive at Requests for bot status/Archive/January 2006#YurikBot.

Gpvosbot

Please grant bot status to these accounts. I am already running with a bot flag on af, da, eo, fr, it, la, nl. On eo, la and nl I do all kinds of tasks, on the other wikis it's mostly inter-language links. – gpvos (talk) 22:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

~~es:Usuario:Gpvosbot. Notice put up at es:Wikipedia:Café#Gpvosbot.~~
- i cannot find the request anymore, was it archived perhaps? oscar 23:57, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Seems like they didn't approve. I am not pursuing a bot status there any further. – gpvos (talk) 18:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  - This copied from below by gpvos:
    There is no consensus on w:es as to this request. Please do not grant the bot flag for that wiki until the matter is resolved. Taragui 14:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    We are requesting Gpvosbot's operator to describe how the bot will operate (scaning es:, scanning some other wikipedia, manually, etc.). For the mean time the bot could run without a flag for a testing period. (Please do not flood)
    
    — Chlewey 18:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    I will be scanning nl:, eo: and la:, and making interwiki links based on what I find from there. When I find a problem, I may do a manual run to solve it. Also, if permitted, I will process warnfiles (reports about links from other wikipedias to es:); I do this always with manual confirmation. Added later: I would also be happy to run without a bot flag, as long as I can make the interwiki links. However, someone complained to me about this, so I haven't done that for some time. – gpvos (talk) 20:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

es:Usuario:kErosEnE

I want to request a BOT account for the user: es:Usuario:kErosEnE_BOT in es.wikipedia, specificly for run interwiki and category to help in the spanish wikiproyect:Manga y Anime where I'm colaborator.

Hola! No puedo encontrar tu request. Donde está? Jon Harald Søby 20:57, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no puedo tampoco? oscar 00:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, con el cambio de mes tu solicitud de bot quedó extraviada. Como ahora hay una nueva página para estas solicitudes, la copié allí, donde los usuarios podrán opinar (request copied to the bot flag request page at es waiting for users comments) Saludos. --Ascánder 12:21 14 ene 2006 (CET)

~~Request fulfilled (¡Hecho!) --Ascánder 21:39, 10 February 2006 (UTC)~~[reply]

At es: they proposed a trail period until feb 29th. --Ascánder 21:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:User:Orgullobot

Commons is in need of some bots, and I'm willing to provide them. I have been running the bot on es: for nearly a year, where I'm a sysop, and have been running the bot on commons for a while without a flag and have been welcomed; no one has opposed. I have asked for opinions in the Village Pump[2][3]. We should wait and see what they say before giving me the flag.--Orgullomoore 19:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First get clear bot approval first on commons and come then here requesting for bot status. Pointing to some discussions will not do. --Walter 19:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of bot status

If a specific user is abusing his bot status, you may request removal of the status on his account here. Please be sure to provide a short explanation on the current situation, along with links to the bot's contribution and an announcement in your community of the abuse.

OrgulloBot

I specifically request that this bot not be run until permission is sought to run this bought. It appears it may currently be in use from Commons on en.Wikinews, which at least has not granted permission for bot status - nor has bot status been requested. - Amgine / ^{talk meta} 03:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your complaint I've asked the bot operator to stop using the bot until permission has been obtained and then to follow policy for each wiki. [4]. Note that the complaint is apparently based on a commons group overriding wikinews image policy abut SVG image use - wikinews apparently favors PNG versions, the commons group apparently prefers SVG form and is trying to get what it wants everywhere, forgetting that commons is an image repository, not an image policy site for all project and all users of an image who aren't even hosted on computers owned by the Foundation. Jamesday 04:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This bot operator has been helpful in sorting out what was really happening so I suggest that no action is taken. At present it appears that this was a case of misidentification. Jamesday 06:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, fellars. It would be great if you could provide some proof. I request this seeing that Orgullobot does not have an account on wikinews...at all [5]. Orgullobot (the username I *always* use, unless I have problems with logging in, in which case I use "Orgullowikibot") has been replacing images that are marked as redundant on Commons, generally .png national flags for .svg equivalents, in which case the replaced images are not erased, which would be impossible without the consent of a Commons administrator, which Orgullobot is not, nor is Orgullomoore (me). I have been very well received in Commons and they welcomed me with open arms, perhaps because the bot can do what a human can do in months in a few hours. It does not work on wikinews, nor wikispecies...mostly because I don't want to write a library for those sites. It doesn't have bot status on all the wikis it works for two main reasons:

It works on over a 100 wikis
It works on these wikis in random order. That is, if it must make 50 substitutions (en:12 de:8 fr:15 pt: 14, es:1, for example), it may make 3 edits on en: first, go to es:, pass by fr: and make 3 and back to en:, then to de:, etc etc. This reduces RC flooding.

In any case, the bot saves alot of time and I think many people would be dissapointed if it was banished based on what "it appears it may currently be doing", which is not what it's been doing (go figure). That said, may any wiki feel free to block the bot if they see it as bothersome (though they may end up with a bunch of empty links to commons, or if nothing else, will complicate the process for commons), which may be hard for en.wikinews since Orgullobot has never touched wires there. In the future, of course, I would like people who request my bot being removed do a little bit more research, or even venture as far as to ask me, but I never get what I like, so...Thank you for your time.--Orgullomoore 04:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being so helpful in sorting out what was happening - just the sort of response I hope to see from bot operators! Jamesday 04:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
