Steward requests/Bot status

For bot status on MetaWiki, see the bot policy and request page.

This page hosts requests for a bot flag on a Wikimedia wiki with no bureaucrats. Please read the instructions before posting a request. Do NOT post your request here until you get community approval (ie, 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

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. You can ask local bot flag directly here for some wikis in some cases (see automatic approval).

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.

Making a request

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) ~~~~

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.
If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

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. Please add requests at the bottom of this section.

Global bot status for WikitanvirBot

Status: In progress

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

Hello, I am requesting global flag for my bot. Though the account was created in January 1, 2010, but It has been running since the end of October, 2010, and it's been 3 months. It did almost half a million edits on 200+ projects, and flagged on over 190+ wikis. Now, I think it can be trusted with a global flag. Thanks, for your consideration. — Tanvir • 04:01, 28 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]

Support I see the bot everywhere Mjbmr ^Talk 10:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]

Yep, it's very pervasive bot ) --Emaus 02:09, 30 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]

Support Support, very useful bot. מתניה 10:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]
Support : Bot present in a huge number of projects... Toto Azéro 16:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]
Neutral Personally I think 3 months isn't really long term....I would prefer it to be 6 months but that is being picky. Edits so far look good. -Djsasso 18:20, 28 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]

Strong oppose. Surprising request. Bot has only 15 edits and 1 flag! — Tanvir • 16:44, 29 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]
Oppose Oppose - The bot does not meet the requisites yet. -- Dferg ^{☎ talk} 03:04, 30 January 2011 (UTC) [reply ]

User:AHbot

This bot currently is not "active" ("on several wikis") for the purpose of maintaining interlanguage links and/or fixing double-redirects as would be required for global bot access per the policy for global bots:

After May 24, 2010, this bot made edits on only four wikis (is.wikipedia until June 2010, commons until August 2010, ru.wikipedia [local bot flag] and uk.wikipedia [local bot flag]).
