Line 24:
If your bot has plans on using custom bots, the source code must be included in the discussion to have the bot approved, and on the bot's profile page. The source code should have been tested and looked over by other members of the community, and publicly stated as such, before you're allowed to put it to use.
== Local approval and operation ==
Make a request on this page's talk page and link the proposed account, operator, task, expected edit rate and test results. Existing source-code and community-review requirements above still apply. Only a user with the configured permission can grant a bot flag; the flag does not approve unrelated tasks. See [[Special:ListGroupRights]] and [[Project:Requests for permissions]].
Begin with a small, reviewable trial. Use bounded request rates, respect server limits, log failures and provide a way for the operator to stop the task. Stop when the bot produces unexpected edits or an administrator requests a pause. Discuss a material change of task before resuming. Do not publish passwords or access tokens in source code or logs.
