Wikipedia:Bots

Please translate

English

Robots, so-called bots, are scripts that are run on Wikipedia to perform routine maintenance. Most robots add or update interwiki links (links to parallel articles in other languages), but they can also do other work like moving or removing categories, checking the validity of external links, and so on.

Guidelines for assignment of bot status

Bot status, which makes a robot invisible in the Recent changes list, may be switched on by stewards after the robot has been approved by the local community.

In order to obtain bot status you should mention the kind of activity you are planning to do on this wiki, an in particular, for interwiki bots mention if you are running the pywikipediabot script and whether you constantly update it with CVS. For other types of bots you must explain what it does, run 20 test edits to illustrate it.

The approval for bot status is obtained after one week if you get at least 75% of approval votes or no reject votes at all: In other cases, an administrator should establish the conclusion of the vote. Once the requirements are fulfilled, you can requests for bot status at the meta site.
