Usage[edit]

This template is designed to make it easier to reply to requests for bot assistance at WP:BOTREQ and help users see at a glance whether a request has been successful, needs clarification, cannot be done for technical reasons, etc. It generates a comment with a corresponding image depending on the parameter used. Only one parameter should be used with each call of the template!

Examples[edit]

Output	Code	Usage
Doing...	`{{BOTREQ\|doing}}`	Request accepted and is currently being processed
Still doing...	`{{BOTREQ\|stilldoing}}`	Large requests, to let the requester know that you are still working on it or that it is taking longer than expected
Coding...	`{{BOTREQ\|coding}}`	Bot is currently being coded/updated for the request
Y Done	`{{BOTREQ\|done}}`	Request complete
Possible	`{{BOTREQ\|possible}}`	Request able to be done by a bot, but it may require new code to be written or more investigation
N Not done	`{{BOTREQ\|notdone}}`	Request not completed.
Impossible	`{{BOTREQ\|impossible}}`	Request cannot be done by a bot (e.g. too complex, such as sourcing articles, or technically unfeasible)
Not a good task for a bot.	`{{BOTREQ\|badidea}}`	Request possible but is not a good idea (e.g. a bureaucrat-bot to process renames) or the request requires human judgement
Idea is not well explained.	`{{BOTREQ\|confusing}}`	Request is hard to understand or unclear; requester needs to elaborate for it to be possible
Deferred	`{{BOTREQ\|defer}}`	Request should be/has been deferred to another venue (e.g. to a WikiProject for tagging requests)
BRFA filed	`{{BOTREQ\|brfa}}`	Request for bot approval filed with regard to this request. If you use the bot name (and task number, if applicable) as a second parameter, the template will provide a link to the specific BRFA page. (e.g. `{{BOTREQ\|brfa\|BattyBot 33}}` generates BRFA filed)
Redundant	`{{BOTREQ\|redundant}}`	Request is already covered by a bot(s) satisfactorily, another bot doing the same task would not be useful.
Needs wider discussion.	`{{BOTREQ\|advertise}}`	The request is likely to be controversial, and should be advertised for wider discussion.
