== Usage ==

This template is designed to make it easier to reply to requests for bot assistance at [[WP:BOTREQ]] and help users see at a glance whether a request has been successful, needs clarification, cannot be done for technical reasons, etc. It generates a comment with a corresponding image depending on the parameter used. Only one parameter should be used with each call of the template!

|-
| {{BOTREQ|badidea}}
| <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|badidea}}</nowiki></code>
| Request possible but is not a good idea (e.g. a bureaucrat-bot to process renames) or the request requires human judgement
|-
| {{BOTREQ|confusing}}
| <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|confusing}}</nowiki></code>
| Request is hard to understand or unclear; requester needs to elaborate for it to be possible
|-
| {{BOTREQ|defer}}

| Request should be/has been deferred to another venue (e.g. to a WikiProject for tagging requests)
|-
| {{BOTREQ|brfa}}
| <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|brfa}}</nowiki></code>
| {{anchor|brfa}} Request for bot approval filed with regard to this request. If you use the bot name (and task number, if applicable) as a second parameter, the template will provide a link to the specific BRFA page. (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|brfa|BattyBot 33}}</nowiki></code> generates {{BOTREQ|brfa|BattyBot 33}})
|-
| {{BOTREQ|redundant}}
| <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|redundant}}</nowiki></code>
| Request is already covered by a bot(s) satisfactorily, another bot doing the same task would not be useful.
|-
| {{BOTREQ|advertise}}
| <code><nowiki>{{BOTREQ|advertise}}</nowiki></code>
| The request is likely to be controversial, and should be advertised for wider discussion.
