This page is meant as a place to organize information concerning bots and scripts. Its purpose is to allow any Citizen to request the creation of bots or scripts, and to help the author of a bot to provide the documentation required to get permission to run the bot. Constables will create an account once all of the failsafe procedures have been accomplished, which shall be detailed at CZ:Application for bot accounts. It is also meant to be a place for anyone to leave feedback or requests concerning needs and activities of bots.
Ultimately, this page is meant to be governed by CZ:Bot policy but as long as that policy is still being worked out, this page serves to gather practical experience with the policy, and may be adapted when some rough edges therein are being polished during the process. As your bot works its way through the approval process, move it under the appropriate heading.
This process is in the construction phase. Should you require the use of the Housekeeping Bot, contact User Talk:Daniel Mietchen. Once you have completed the steps required for approval. Contact the Bot Manager. The Interim Bot Manager is User Talk:D. Matt Innis.
Example
To add a new request, click here but

Modify_Active_Editors_lists
Purpose: Modify the lists of Active Editors in the Workgroups so as to delete newcomers who not yet made any contribution. Currently they are included as being active because they have not been members long enough to be inactive for a long period. Daniel Mietchen has said he will develop this bot when he has time.
