Steward requests/Bot status

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
For bot status on Meta-Wiki, see the bot policy and request page.
Shortcut:
SRB
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

[edit]

Before posting here

[edit]

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

[edit]
  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

[edit]

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 be left open for at least 2 weeks to allow comments, and will be advertised via MassMessage.

Please add requests at the bottom of this section using the template above.

Removal of global bot status

[edit]

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

Bot status requests

Leaderbot@glwikipedia

[edit]
Status:    On hold

No response; the wiki requires explicit authorisation. Leaderboard (talk) 16:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a local bureaucrat at glwiki. I'll inform them first, so placing on hold for some time. EPIC (talk) 18:27, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaderbot@ptwikipedia

[edit]
Status:    On hold

No response despite pinging a bot approval member. Leaderboard (talk) 09:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With a wiki this big I'd likely rather have a local user approve. Anyways, since Alchimista didn't respond when pinged on-wiki, I'll notify them in private and set this on hold in the meantime. EPIC (talk) 10:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of bot status

[edit]

Requests for removal of the bot status from your own bots can be done here. If a specific user is abusing their bot status, you may request removal of the status on their account here as well. 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.
