Steward requests (Bot status)

latest archive→

This page hosts requests for a bot flag on a Wikimedia wiki with no bureaucrats. Please read the instructions before posting a request. Do NOT post your request here until you get community approval (ie, don't list your bot here if you haven't consulted the wiki for at least a week).

Instructions

Before posting here

If there is a bureaucrat on the local wiki, 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.

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.

Making a request

1. 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= 
   }}
   (your remarks) ~~~~
   

2. 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.
3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Global bot 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.

Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

Bot operators making bulk requests, please consider helping implement the standard bot policy on small wikis to simplify and streamline the bulk request process.

Global bot status for JhsBot

Status:    In progress

• Global user: JhsBot (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
• Discussion: n/a

I haven't been actively using my bot for some time, but would like to start again, and don't see any reason not to use it on all wikis with global bot policy. Jon Harald Søby 16:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

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.
