From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

For bot status on MetaWiki, see the bot policy and request page.

[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.

[edit] Implementation on Wikiquotes

Hi, please update the WikiSet according to the updated implementation list. Thank you, Nemo 21:16, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

[edit] Xqbot@brwiki

I requested my bot flag three months (!) ago. Neal is the only active crat there but he doesn't find the time to grant bot flags --Xqt 15:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

On hold as I just asked at w:br:Kaozeadenn_Implijer:Neal#Wikipedia:Bot.23Xqbot and w:br:Kaozeadenn_Implijer:Kadwalan#Wikipedia:Bot.23Xqbot as reminders. If neither responds locally in a week, "stepping on their toes" will be the last resort.--Jusjih 03:02, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Str4ndBOT@fiwikibooks

Per local decision. — str4nd ⇌ 22:38, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Done. Note that the FI wikibooks crats have not made any edits this year. So it is appropriate for Stewards to step in for this case. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 03:39, 12 November 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.
