Steward requests/Bot status

For bot status on Meta-Wiki, see the bot policy and request page.

This page hosts requests for a Bot flag on a Wikimedia wiki with no bureaucrats. Please read the instructions before posting a request. Request to remove own permission should be done in SRP.

Please only make request here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community (i.e., don't list your bot here if you haven't consulted the local wiki for at least a week, or whatever local policies dictate). Previous requests are archived.

Instructions

Before posting here

Before posting here, please check the following points:

If there is a bureaucrat on the local wiki (visit Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat on the wiki to check): Please ask them to fulfill your request using Special:UserRights on the relevant wiki.
Before requesting access here, make sure to obtain consensus on the local wiki if there is a community (see the index of request pages). If there is no local community, request on this page with a note to that effect. You can ask local bot flag directly here for some wikis in some cases (see automatic approval).
Remember to read the local project's bot policy. This should be linked from the local bot request page; a few are listed below. DO NOT post your request here without having fulfilled the local policies first, and having waited for at least a week to gauge community opinion. In the case that the project does not have a local bot policy, the global bot policy applies.

Making a request

Place the following code at the bottom of the "Bot status requests" section below:

=== Bot name@xxproject ===
{{sr-request
| status = <!--don't change this line-->
| domain = 
| user name = 
| discussion = 
}}
(your remarks) ~~~~

You can use following form when applying global bot status:

=== Global bot status for <yourbotname> ===
{{sr-request
| status = <!--don't change this line-->
| domain = global<!--don't change this line-->
| user name = 
| discussion = 
}}
{{indent|''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''}}
(your remarks) ~~~~

Fill in the values:
- 'domain': the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
- 'user name': the bot's user name (like "ExampleBot"). Leave it blank if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
- 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the bot (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Bots#ExampleBot]]"). Notes: If there is no local vote or discussion, please say so below the template and explain why not. If there's no community, implement the standard bot policy instead.
If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Global bot status requests

Global bots are enabled on most wikis using the standard bot policy (see list of global bot wikis and global bot access requirements). Request will typically be left open for several days to allow comments. Please add requests at the bottom of this section.

Removal of global bot status

Please see the removal policy for global bots for the requirements that must be met for global bot removal requests.

Discussion: w:ht:Wikipedya:Kafe#A few bot fixes

I've asked User:Bgwhite to improve accessibility by fixing some list formatting problems, which affect nearly 20% of the articles there. There is unanimous agreement from the few long-time editors at the project. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The bot account does not exist. Ruslik (talk) 11:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ruslik According to the "Global account information" page under BG19bot's preferences, it says BG19bot was attached to htwiki last month. What are you looking at that I need to get done? Bgwhite (talk) 23:03, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Under user name above, it had "User:BG19bot" when it sould be "BG19bot". I've changed it. Bgwhite (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of bot status

If a specific user is abusing his/her 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. Previous requests are archived.
