• en: Requests for the bot flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the standard bot policy, and allows automatic approval of certain types of bots (but not global bots). Other bots should apply below, and then request access from a steward if there is no objection.

I	Creating a user account and user page for the bot describing its functions. please state the following: To log the creation of the bot account under your operator account click here while logged in. (Please note that if you fail to do this, your bot may be blocked quickly as a possible sock or unauthorized bot until you verify that you are the owner.) Describe the bot's purpose, language it uses, what program(s) it uses (pywikipedia framework, etc). Describe whether it is manually assisted or automatically scheduled to run. The period, if any, we should expect it to run. Identify the maintainer. Add the bot's user page to Category:Wikipedia bots (By adding {{bot|your user name}} to the bot's user page)
II	Listing your bot here. Replace BotName with your bot's user name in the box below and click the button. If this is a request for an additional task, put a task number as well (e.g. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BotName 2). Complete the questions on the resulting page and save it. Edit this page, adding the following text to the appropriate section (replacing BotName with your bot's name): {{BRFA|BotName|TaskNumber|Open}} If this is a request for your bot's first task, leave TaskNumber blank (i.e., do not add it unless you added a number to the title of the page created above). That is, use the template {{BRFA|BotName||Open}}
III	Waiting for approval. You must then wait for approval from an admin or someone in the approvals group. Please add a link to the approval request to the bot's userpage.

[edit] Request for removal

• user:Byrialbot is inactive for more then 6 months. Last edit made on this or any other wikipedia is made in august 2007. The bot was only a few months active. And has made here 46 edits. Carsrac 07:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - this bot has been inactive since last year. -- Kerowren ^{(talk · contribs)} 20:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

• User:YonaBot is also inactive for more then 6 months and has only done 7 edits. CarsracBot 10:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

The owner reacted on my english talk page Carsrac 17:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - this bot has been inactive since last year. -- Kerowren ^{(talk · contribs)} 20:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

• User:Robbot is inactive at the moment, but the owner is a steward and it is wise not to remove the flag. That he has still has a bot with a botflag here to do the things stewards do or for undo the damage other iw bots some times do. CarsracBot 10:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree, nevertheless, the bot is active now. -- Kerowren ^{(talk · contribs)} 20:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Global bots

Hello. The standard bot policy was updated to allow global bots, which are now technically possible. These are trusted bots that will be given bot access on all wikis that allow global bots (the local policy or request page must explicitly allow them, or they won't get access on this wiki). The current requirements for global bots are:

• the bot must only maintain interlanguage links or fix double-redirects;
• the bot must already be active on several wikis, with long-term contributions to back up its trustworthiness.

Does anyone object to allowing global bots on this wiki? I'll update the local policy in a week if there are no objections. Thanks. —Pathoschild 00:44:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

The problem with having global bots is that, with there being so many of them, this wiki's bot quota will quickly fill up, creating an influx of locally unregistered bots for a small article space. I think it might be best to hold off on opening that particular door just yet, at least until we reach the 1000 articles range. -- Kerowren ^{(talk · contribs)} 20:20, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay. —Pathoschild 19:35:41, 04 August 2008 (UTC)
