Seek agreement on a limited trial before running it, then report the results for a human decision on further use.		'''Bot requests''' is for approval of bot tasks and proposed trials.

			The existing [[Project:Bots\|Bots policy]] applies. Record all its requirements in the request: a bot account separate from the human operator's account, a public source code link, evidence of independent review and the names of everyone with account access. Stop the bot if it makes unexpected edits or an administrator requests a pause.

	Task or trial approval is separate from granting the technical bot flag. Under the configured rights, a bureaucrat or operator can grant bot rights. Administrators cannot grant them by virtue of administrator rights alone. Neither a successful trial nor a discussion outcome automatically grants rights or promotes an account.
