Revision as of 15:23, 27 July 2008
Rationale
The standard bot policy greatly simplifies and streamlines requests for bot status by creating an automatic process for the approval of bots requiring hundreds of accounts. On wikis that implement the procedure, it is no longer necessary to hold a community election for certain specific bot tasks, if the bot is already approved for that task on a number of wikis. Instead, the bot need only perform a test run on each wiki before asking stewards to set the bot flag.
However, the policy must be individually proposed and implemented on every wiki before it can be applied. This is a task easily done by mass-account bot operators, who are already copy and pasting the proposal message for their bot. Doing so greatly simplifies the process for other bot operators, and for themselves should they ever choose to run a separate bot for a different task.
How to implement the policy
Proposal
On the local bot status request page (or a community discussion page if that doesn't exist), propose the policy with the following text:
Hello. To facilitate [[m:steward|steward]] granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the [[m:Bot policy|standard bot policy]] on this wiki. This will involve creating a redirect to this page from [[Project:Bot policy]], and adding a line at the top noting that it is used here. In particular, this policy allows automatic acceptance of known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests.
Please read the text at [[m:Bot policy]] before commenting. If you object, please say so; it will be implemented in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. ~~~~
Proposal (update for global bots)
Hello. The [[m:Bot policy|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 [[m:Bot policy#Global_bots|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. ~~~~
Implementation
If there is no objection after one week, follow the steps below or contact User:Pathoschild.
- Add the following line at the top of the page (if no active bureaucrat): '''en:''' Requests for the [[m:bot|bot]] flag should be made on this page. Since this wiki does not have an active [[m:Bureaucrat|bureaucrat]], granting of access has to be [[m:Requests for bot status|performed by a steward]] if there are no objections on this page. The [[m:Bot policy|standard bot policy]] is used on this wiki, with automatic approval of certain types of bots allowed.Or (if there are active bureaucrats):'''en:''' Requests for the [[m:bot|bot]] flag should be made on this page. Requests for certain types of bots can be automatically approved and [[m:Requests for bot status|performed by a steward]] (see the [[m:Bot policy|standard bot policy]]).
- Add a redirect from "Project:Bot policy" on that wiki to the bot request page.
- Update the list below.
Where it is policy
The following wikis have implemented the policy (see Bot policy#Authorisation). When updating the list, please also update {{bot policy}}.
