Meta:Requests for bot status/KharBot

The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a closed Meta-Wiki request. Please do not modify it.

This bot will solely be sending mass messages when publishing the global version of The Signpost. See its enwiki BRfA here. Technically it doesn't even need a bot flag, just a mass message right. Thanks! Kharkiv07 (T) 00:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Even if bot flag is not needed, thanks for opening this so this can be approved. It'd be good if you could create the bot userpage with contact info (such as {{bot|operator}}). Also, some users already requested MassMessage sender rights. Is your bot going to takeover manual processing of Signpost delivery. If so, how it is supposed to work? Thank you. —MarcoAurelio 20:28, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I requested manual permissions because our old bot, LivingBot, wasn't functioning properly so in the time that it took to get this bot up and running I had to manually send out the notices, this will be taking that over. I'll go ahead and create an userpage. Thanks for the quick response! Kharkiv07 (T) 21:59, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your reply. Then this is a request for bot flag (even if not needed, we tend to add the flag to approved bots) and massmessage rights. Given the task details and your explanation, I'm in favor to grant both rights requested, however I'd like to hear from other community members before taking a decision. If LivingBot is not working properly or is going to be inactive, perhaps their flags should be removed, what do you think? Thanks. —MarcoAurelio 08:57, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved and flagged with bot and massmessage-sender rights. —MarcoAurelio 13:05, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
