<b>Before applying for approval</b>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that you have read the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BOTPOL" title="Wikipedia:BOTPOL" class="mw-redirect">bot policy</a> and that your bot is compliant with it, and that your idea isn't listed as a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Frequently_denied_bots" title="Wikipedia:Bots/Frequently denied bots">frequently denied bot</a>.</li>
<li>If your task could be controversial (e.g. most bots making non-maintenance edits to articles and most bots posting messages on user talk pages), seek consensus for the task in the appropriate forums. Common places to start include <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)" title="Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)">WP:Village pump (proposals)</a> and the talk pages of the relevant policies, guidelines, templates, and/or WikiProjects. Link to this discussion from your request for approval.</li>
<li>You will need to create an account for your bot if you haven't already done so. Click <a class="external text" href="//en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup">here</a> when logged in to create the account, linking it to yours. (If you do not create the bot account while logged in, it is likely to be blocked as a possible <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SOCK" title="Wikipedia:SOCK" class="mw-redirect">sockpuppet</a> or unauthorised bot until you verify ownership)</li>
<li>Create a userpage for your bot, linking to your userpage (this is commonly done using the {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Bot" title="Template:Bot">bot</a>}} template) and describing its functions. You may also include an '<a href="/wiki/Template:Emergency-bot-shutoff" title="Template:Emergency-bot-shutoff">emergency shutoff button</a>' just in case anything goes wrong.</li>
