Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks 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. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 5 Her 2022 da 02:36 (UTC)

Hello @Rschen7754, we actually have a dedicated page called Wikipedia:Bot but it is obsolete as we no longer have any bureaucrats.

The page that you link is not completely clear to me. If we accept this, we get global bots as any other global bot wiki, this much looks fine to me. What I would like to be sure of is that we can still appoint a local bot, just for this wiki, through community consensus. This is currently not done but could be done in the future.

This reminds me that most bots on this wiki are inactive (most are interlanguage bots made obsolete by Wikidata), we should request the removal of their status. I can’t find anything to this effect in the global bot policy though, so I suppose we have to go through a community vote, is this correct? Huñvreüs (kaozeal) 5 Her 2022 da 07:05 (UTC)

Yes, local bots can still be appointed, and removed following a community vote. --Rschen7754 6 Her 2022 da 00:04 (UTC)
