Template talk:Infobox Wikipedia bot

Example used
Please feel free to choose a better example - I chose the bot that I just recently created. Perhaps an approved bot would be better. Anonymous Dissident Talk 06:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This is very nice! I have some more examples at User:Polbot, and I'll try to keep them up-to-date with the latest syntax. – Quadell (talk) (random) 00:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Source Code Published?
How about adding another section that asks if the source code has been published or not? It would look like this: A lot of times, I am looking for bots with a certain language of source code if they have published, but there is no category for it. What do people think?

 * Great idea, but it might be worth it to use a #switch statement to avoid including bots in non-existing categories, e.g.

Source code published??

 * I've added the code for some common Wikipedia bot languages, and created a few categories. Hopefully they'll fill up soon. Grace notes T § 22:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm, I nearly forgot: the parameter didn't exist until a couple of minutes ago. Well, bot owners can feel free to add the parameter to their parameters. Grace notes T § 22:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added C++, Python, Perl, Java, PHP, and C#. I won't create the categories until someone needs them. If you have any comments/criticisms about my implementation of your suggestion, please say so. Grace notes T § 22:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Exclusion Compliant category isn't sorting
This template puts bots that say "yes" to the exclusion complaint field in Category:Exclusion compliant bots, but it doesn't sort them. Is there any way that this could be put in? Simply using doesn't work, but perhaps I did it wrong. Thanks, Robert Skyhawk So sue me! (You'll lose) 03:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Source and configuration repo links
I propose that we add parameters  and , which link to a source control browser for the bot's source and configuration. This will make bot operation more transparent, by giving us a chance to review the code. It should also improve collaboration. Adamw (talk) 08:53, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
