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 Dinamik-bot

Dinamik-bot is in use since September 2009, has made more than 17 000 edits and have local bot status in 27 wikis. I thought, that Dinamik-bot didn't have enough contribution to get a global bot status but they advised me to try to get it. My home wiki is ru-wiki, in which I have a sysop flag. In all other wikis Dinamik-bot works only with interwiki links. Dinamik 13:54, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Number of edits is fine by me. What does give me pause, is that the oldest account, per the SUL utility, is from early September. But there are already a lot of bot flags and edits look good... So, I'm leaning toward granting. Note that this process normally takes a few days to a week. So others will comment. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 01:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a steward but one of the requirements is long time operation as a bot. I don't think a month really would qualify. And normally bots that come here have in the many 10's of thousands of edits. 17,000 is pretty low. -Djsasso 19:59, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done as 25390 edits have been much better.--Jusjih 02:38, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

[edit] MondalorBot@jawiki

Hello! I have requested the bot flag on ja.wikipedia more than 3 weeks ago, but the bureaucrats of this Wikipedia did not still grant / refuse this flag. I think that this discussion is too long. Bot has made about 100 edits in the main namespace. Thanks in advance, best regards, Mondalor 09:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Bot status is depend on local decision. Stewards cannot override their decision. The request will/should be processed in Japanese Wikipedia. Kwj2772 (msg) 10:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Question: if the discussion on the Japanese Wikipedia to last, for example, one year? So wait? Whatever, thank you. Mondalor 10:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 Not done here, but  Done on the Japanese Wikipedia by Kanjy. This request is withdrawn. Mondalor 04:37, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

[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] DBpedia-Bot@meta

Hi, could you give us temporary Bot status? It is needed to create the initial subpages on meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DBpedia/ontology User:Duesentrieb suggested this space for the DBpedia project. We will create only subpages like DBpedia/ontology/Actor and such. I will put a request for removal below, when we are done, thanksSebastianHellmann 22:36, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid stewards can't help you with this, but I did move your request to the appropriate place: Meta:Requests for bot status/DBpedia-Bot. --Erwin 20:44, 4 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.

[edit] Dfergbot@astwiki

I will not be using the bot on that wiki anymore or at least in a long period of time so makes no sense to me to keep it flagged. Please remove his bot status as per operator's request. Thanks. —Dferg|^☎ 18:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Done. --Erwin 18:35, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
