 This is one of the six default MediaWiki user groups, see [[:mw:Help:User rights and groups]].
+It [[rfc:2119|should not]] be granted permanently by [[Test Wiki:Stewards|non-test administrators]]. To request the <code>[[Test Wiki:Bots|bot]]</code> flag permanently, please submit a bot approval request at [[Test Wiki:Bot approval requests]], articulating a clear and specific purpose for the request, linking to your bot's source code (if publicly available), and indicating whether it will be run ad hoc or on a regular, fixed schedule and the estimated frequency of edits. If you need to grant yourself the <code>bot</code> flag temporarily, you ''may'' do so, but you [[rfc:2119|'''must''']] state a clear reason for granting. The community advises granting the bot flag temporarily for no more than 24 hours.
