Steward requests/Bot status

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] Global bot status for Alecs.bot

Alecs.y 22:19, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Seems fine to me. I assume you've read the policy. --Erwin 09:00, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I read the policy, after the exchange with Erwin below. Alecs.y 06:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Done. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 18:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Alecs.y 20:45, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Global bot status for MystBot

Myst2 22:14, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Plenty of bot flags, edits and account age for me. I suggest granting the Global Bot flag after a few more days. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 20:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, Myst2: This bot will be used only for interlanguage linking and fixing of double-redirects, correct? --Daniel Mayer (mav) 20:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

For now, this bot is only used for interlanguage linking (+ cosmestic change on fr only). Not for fixing double-redirect yet. Myst2 00:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 Done.--Jusjih 23:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Myst2 15:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

[edit] TchoŘoBot@hsbwiki

I asked for a bot flag on Uper Sorbian wikipedia in April. I was "redirected" here by local sysop Tlustulimu and have waited since then for any objections or support, as recommended at the top of this page. But because there are only few active users, there were neither objections, nor (more) support (not counting the initial response by Tlustulimu). TchoŘoBot uses pywikipedia framework and it already has a bot flag on czech wikipedia (where it is mostly used for solving disambiguations). Tchoř 11:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

What do you plan to use the bot for? I see you've been working on solving disambiguations, but on your userpage it says you hardly speak Upper Sorbian. --Erwin 09:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I would like to solve disambiguations. And yes, I am not very good in the active use of Upper Sorbian, but I understand the language well, as it is to some extent mutually comprehensible with my mother language (I believe it's similar case as Dutch × West Low German, which you know). Also I do not plan to solve disambiguations of homonyms (which would require exhaustive knowledge of the language), I want to work on disambiguations of names (of settlements, rivers, hills, ...) . --Tchoř 12:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm a bit reluctant to give you a bot flag as you don't speak the language, even though it may be similar to Czech. How about just running your bot without a bot flag? You'll just need to use a throttle of 60s. --Erwin 09:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Running without flag sounds like a temporary solution. The problem is, when should I repeat my request in such case? From my point of view, I have enough knowledge of the language in order to use the bot or discuss its deeds with other members of the community. I am one of the active contributors (counter) and there were never any serious objections to the language quality of my contributions. --Tchoř 19:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Aaah, I see the problem. On my home cs wiki, there are categories only for three lower degrees of non-native Upper Sorbian speakers. I believed I should choose among them and I used 1,2,3 scale instead of the standard full 1,2,3,4,5 scale. I have now checked the description w:Wikipedia:Babel/Levels and I see that as an active contributor, I should re-categorize myself as at least hsb-2. Sorry. Please, either reconsider giving the flag or give me a good advice when should I re-request. Thanks in advance --Tchoř 19:48, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Bot flag granted. Sorry for the late reply. --Erwin 18:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vahid_bot@ckb.wikipedia

we need a bot in our new wiki project, but there is no user with bureaucrat right for give him bot flag. I'm not sure its correct to make a request here but its just what I can do. --Marmzok 19:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Could you please explain what you want to do with your bot? In any case it would be best to make at least 100 test edits first and to leave a message at w:ckb:Wikipedia:دەروازەی بەکارھێنەران about running a bot. After about a week you can then come back here to request the bot flag. Note that you can run your bot without a flag for now. --Erwin 09:52, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I thought He need the flag for begin edits. I asked him to start his work, after some test edits I leave a message. tanX --Marmzok 21:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks like test edits are now done. I suggest granting the local bot flag. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 18:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Your bot incorrectly changed the interwiki link to fawiki here and the edit was reverted. Please make sure to fix this issue. --Meno25 21:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] BotReversor@ca.wikibooks & @ca.wikiquote

We haven't got bureaucrats in these projects, but I'm sysop in both. They've got only one vandalism bot and the rest of the Catalan projects have already done it. Thanks. --Xavier D. (talk!) 15:24, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Both accounts only have 1 edit each. Please create some test edits using bot code so we can all know that the bot works as expected. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 20:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Crochet.david.bot@ruwikiversity

The bot is with the flag on most wikversities. Now it came to ru, but there are no bureaucrats yet. --Arseny1992 07:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MondalorBot@eowiki

Hello! Please grant the bot flag per the global bot policy (this wikipedia allows automatic approval of certain types of bots). The bot edits since the 9^th of December. Thanks, best regards, Mondalor 16:20, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

This bot should ask for the global bot flag. Carsrac 11:12, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

If I want to get a local bot flag, I should have a global. Do I understand you correctly? I am afraid you are not right. Therefore, according to Bot policy#Automatic approval this is optional condition for the attribution of the flag. Mondalor 12:01, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MondalorBot@rowiki

The bureaucrats of this wiki did not find the time to grant the bot flag. Given the activity of the bureaucrats (some requests are processed within 3 months), I think that they are not able to grant the bot flag in the near future. There were no objections on the page ro:Wikipedia:Bot/Cereri de aprobare#MondalorBot => there are no obstacles to grant the flag.

For more information see:

• ro:Wikipedia:Bot/Cereri de aprobare#MondalorBot - request;
• ro:Discuţie Utilizator:Andrei Stroe#Mondalor Bot - discussion with one of the bureaucrats;
• ro:Discuţie Utilizator:Andrei Stroe#Bot flag - discussion with one of the bureaucrats.

Mondalor 07:16, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 Done locally. Mondalor 13:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Interwicket@knwiktionary

Hello. This bot is one of the best interwiki bots on Wiktionaries, and I noticed that this bot is editing without the bot flag on this Wiktionary. The bot should have made well over the test edit limit, and I would like to ask the stewards to grant this bot the bot flag. Thanks, Razorflame 19:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

You could better ask for the globalbotflag for this wiktionary. Carsrac 10:55, 23 December 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.
