This page allows bot operators to ask for approval to use a bot on the English-language Wikiversity.

Please read Wikiversity policy about bots first.

Bureaucrats are able to give and remove bot status using the Special:UserRights feature. Request are usually handled after about 7-10 days, to allow time for comments and questions from the community. If you do not receive a timely response to your request, feel free to leave a message on the talk page of a Bureaucrat.

Older status requests are Archived.

* '''Bot operator''': {{User|Name}}
* '''Automatic or manually assisted''': 
* '''Purpose of the bot''': 
* '''Edit period(s)''': 
* '''Programming language(s) (and API) used''': 
* '''Other projects that are already using this bot''': 
* '''Additional information''':

WikiJournalBot[edit source]

As with listeriabot, it only edits pages between the templates {{WikiJournalBotList}} and {{ListEnd}}, see sandbox tests User:Octfx/Volume_4_Issue_1. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:10, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Evolution and evolvability and Octfx: Can someone create the WikiJournalBot user account and perform an edit under that account? So far, it doesn't appear to exist. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 13:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dave Braunschweig Ah yes, rather easier to apply permissions to an existing account. Done. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 22:31, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Evolution and evolvability and Octfx: I followed the previous approach, bot for a week, presuming that was the intent. Let us know how testing goes. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 22:41, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dave Braunschweig and Evolution and evolvability: I've created an OAuth consumer at meta and ran the bot through toolforge. Successful edits were made to the Sandbox and two of my user pages here and here. --Octfx (discusscontribs) 09:51, 18 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Evolution and evolvability and Octfx: I'm fine with running tests as you have recently been doing and I highly encourage you to continue. Please note: "When testing, bot operators must delay 60 seconds between edits." (see: WV:BOT) If you need assistance with this Dave or I can provide help with how to 'throttle' the edit rate to comply with this guideline. This makes it easier for custodians and 'crats to review the edits as they occur. Thank you so much for your contributions to improving Wikiversity, it is greatly appreciated. --mikeu talk 22:40, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Forgot to ping @Dave Braunschweig: for input. --mikeu talk 22:47, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mu301: no problem, I’ll set the bot back to one edit per minute. The current delay was set while the bot flag was temporarily active, I forgot to change it back! —-Octfx (discusscontribs) 06:49, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Great, we very much appreciate your contributions to Wikiversity. Thank you for improving our site and let us know if you need additional tools to improve the quality of our website. --mikeu talk 07:56, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't know the inner workings of this bot, but it often shuffles the order of publications and made them out of publishing sequence[1] OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:52, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@OhanaUnited You need to notify the bot owner or leave a message the bot's talk page. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 20:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]


WorkmarketBot[edit source]

Note for transparency: I have also assigned it IP block exempt status during these tests since it was flagged by Tks4Fish. I think this is reasonable, but please let me know if that's against proccedure to IP block exempt a both that I myself am applying permission for. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 11:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bot permission added. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 21:51, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
