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. Request to remove own permission should be done in SRP.

Please only make request here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community (i.e., don't list your bot here if you haven't consulted the local wiki for at least a week, or whatever local policies dictate). Previous requests are archived.

Instructions

Before posting here

Before posting here, please check the following points:

1. If there is a bureaucrat on the local wiki (visit Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat on the wiki to check): Please ask them to fulfill your request using Special:UserRights on the relevant wiki.
2. 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. You can ask local bot flag directly here for some wikis in some cases (see automatic approval).
3. 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. In the case that the project does not have a local bot policy, the global bot policy applies.

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 = 
   }}
   {{indent|''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''}}
   (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 status 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. Please add requests at the bottom of this section.

Global bot status for kasirbot

Status:    Not done

• Global user: kasirbot (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Kasir ^talk 21:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Your bot only has about 31,000 edits globally. Also it is currently blocked on two projects. Care to explain? -Barras talk 23:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

The flag was requested for two projects, but managers did not Cooperation. Standard codes pywikipedia bot runs and no errors.--Kasir ^talk 10:08, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Please read Bot policy, which will probably explain what you made wrong there. Among other things, your bot lacks a user page, your user page lacks user language and contact information. Nemo 10:15, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

information User page was added, I robot did not edit error ,decided to give the flag is with you.--Kasir ^talk 15:37, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Not done for now. You should gain more experience first. Please consider coming back after having reached at least 100,000 edits. Thank you. --Mercy (talk) 15:07, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Removal of global bot status

Please see the policy for global bots for the requirements that must be met for global bot access.

Bot status requests

Please add new requests at the bottom of this section.

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

ХомоБот@be.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

• Wiki: be.wiktionary.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
• User: ХомоБот (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

Good afternoon. I ask the local status of the bot to perform automatic operations to correct spelling (since the beginning of the project was initiated by people who did not have a high level of the Belarusian language. Error is quite a lot, unfortunately), for these purposes I will use the AWB. Bot has a status in ru.wikipedia and be.wikipedia (home-wiki)Хомелка (talk) 10:14, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Did you put a local request for bot status ? -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 11:02, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

yes--Хомелка (talk) 18:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

 On hold till 2 March 2012. Per the bot policy, we have to wait one week before granting the bot flag, whether the high of the community is. By consequence, you will be granted the bot flag in a week if there is no opposition, to check that the bot works properly before hiding it from the recent changes. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 20:39, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

There isn't any standard bot in this project (there are only interwiki bots from other languages). As my request for a global bot flag is denied, I request a local flag here. Nowadays, I have local bot flag in es.wikipedia and an.wikipedia. invadinado _{(Tell me)} 18:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Did you put a local request for bot status here ? I would advise you to read the bot policy. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 20:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

In "Wikiversidad:Bot", they say:

"Debido a la ausencia de burócratas, para solicitar el permiso para utilizar un bot en particular, ingresa a meta, donde podrás hacer una petición."

"Because of the lack of bureaucrats, to request permission to use a particular bot, go to Meta, where you can make a request."

Regards. invadinado _{(Tell me)} 10:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but personally I won't approve a bot which has no editions and which has no community consensus to be approved. Firstly because it's in contradiction with the bot policy, and then because I won't approve a bot if I'm not sure it works properly. Thanks for your understanding. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 10:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I understand, so I am going to ask to the community. I'll keep you informed. invadinado _{(Tell me)} 11:27, 26 February 2012 (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.
