[edit] Instructions

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

Thank you! Louperivois Ψ @ 23:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, and Louperibot execute the cosmetic changes only in his home wiki. Louperivois Ψ @ 23:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

[edit] Nemobot@ko.wikisource

It seems like the bureaucrat in the local project is not active for two years. There was no objection for past two weeks in the local request page and a request for use of this bot was in my discussion page. Thank you! Nemonemo 03:04, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Your bot is moving pages which does not fall into the standard bot policy. For other use than interwiki You would need local consensus for a botflag, please try to contact the local users if they agree to Your bot actions there, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 07:09, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I posted a message for consensus with this bot in the forum of Korean wikisource project, and there was a discussion on how the format of a legal document should be. All the people in the discussion agreed that it is better to use a bot for importing, linking, and managing legal documents and there was even a request for prompt action on documents the bot uploaded in my discussion page. -- Nemonemo 14:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, that the users have agreed to the changes does not mean they agree to the flag too, or they should express this, please ask them to participate in the voting at s:ko:위키문헌:봇#Nemobot, thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 19:24, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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.
