MissingCastlePicturesBot

Unauthorized bot

To whoever is operating this bot, greetings:

• Please create a user page for the bot and inform who is the bot operator (you can use the template {{bot}} for that).
• Please ask for community approval, creating Meta:Requests for bot status/MissingCastlePicturesBot and transcluding it on the Meta:Requests for adminship page, bot section.

I'm afraid that, if this bot continues to operate without identifiable operator(s) and without any approval, I'll issue an indefinite block until the above requirements are met. Please see Bot policy for further details. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:27, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello MarcoAurelio

I can't edit the user page of the bot account (User:MissingCastlePicturesBot), because I cannot edit it with my non-bot account User:Chilfing, but blocking the bot account seems to also prevent the bot account from editing its own user page, so I can't edit it that way, either.

I'd like the user page to have the following content:

{{bot|Chilfing}}

This bot's purpose is to update Wikimedia CH/Burgen-Dossier/FehlendeFotosinWikidatabzwCommons every 2 hours, so that the list with castles without pictures stays up to date. More pieces of information about how the bot works can be found in the repository.

How shall I proceed to achieve this and get the bot account unblocked?

Just confirming above message from my non-bot account.

Hi Chilfing. Thanks for the information above. The bot is now unblocked. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:27, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
