My final work of my degree consists of enriching the wikipedia in Basque, my language, through an automatic program, so I would appreciate if the program is not only something that I can show but something that I can demonstrate that it works. Thanks in advance.

 * A few things. First read the entirety of WP:BOTPOL. In particular, see WP:BOTACCOUNT. You may not use a bot account to do anything but bot tasks. That includes making BRFAs and posting messages as a human. Second, you must have your own account, so we can distinguish who the operator is, from who the bot is. Third, it is highly unlikely that a bot can do something as vague as 'enriching the Wikipedia in Basque'. First this is the English Wikipedia, second WP:CONTEXTBOT would apply unless you have a very, very specific task in mind. If this is a requirement of your degree, you should have a very serious talk about whoever made that a requirement.
 * I'll leave this open for now, but unless a very specific task is proposed, this will end up with a decline .&#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Since there's been no activity in two days, and this is a very unlikely task to be approved to begin with, . The operator can submit a new request for approval if the scope (and accounts) becomes in line with WP:BOTPOL. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:28, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
