Template:Bot/doc

– An information box that indicates that the editor is not a human and actually an automatic process assigned to do menial tasks on Wikipedia.

Parameters

 * 1 : The first unnamed parameter specifies the operator of the bot.
 * 2, 3 : The second and third unnamed parameters can be used to specify co-operators of the bot, if required.
 * site : The two letter code for those operators that do not have an account on the English language Wikipedia (though having a local account is strongly recommended).
 * status : active (and approved), inactive (but approved), trial, unapproved, globalbot, expired (previously approved but approval has lapsed), retired (previously approved but no longer editing, see also { {retired|bot=yes}})
 * awb : yes (if this bot uses AWB), or omit (if it doesn't).
 * codebase: The name of the code (programming or scripting language) used to create the bot (e.g., Pywikibot, perlWikipedia, ...)
 * brfa : Optional if specified, overrides the name of the request for approval. If not specified, defaults to
 * by : Optional if specified, overrides the usual display of the operator's username in the first line generated from the three unnamed parameters.
 * approvalneeded : If status indicated active/approved, or globalbot, setting no will make the template indicate that the bot is running tasks for which no approval is needed.
 * overridebrfa : If the bot has multiple requests or approval, or multiple tasks, and the default BRFA link cannot link to a page that contains all the bot's approved requests or tasks, this field allows inputting a link to any Wikipedia page. Specifying this field overrides brfa.
 * more : Any additional information to specify in the mbox. Usually not needed, since status, brfa, and approvalneeded covers most cases.
 * alt : Optional alternate text for the image.
