This template is used by one or more bots.
If you intend to change this template in any significant way, move it or nominate it for deletion, please inform the bot operators. Thank you. The relevant bots are: User:MajavahBot.
The first unnamed parameter specifies the operator of the bot.
2, 3
The second and third unnamed parameters can be used to specify co-operators of the bot, if required.
site
The two letter code for those operators that do not have an account on the English language Wikipedia (though having a local account is strongly recommended).
status
active (and approved), inactive (but approved), trial, unapproved, globalbot, blocked, expired (previously approved but approval has lapsed), retired (previously approved but no longer editing, see also {{retired|bot=yes}})
awb
yes (if this bot uses AWB), or omit (if it doesn't).
codebase
The name of the code (programming or scripting language) used to create the bot (e.g., Pywikibot, perlWikipedia, ...)
brfa
Optional if specified, overrides the name of the request for approval. If not specified, defaults to {{BASEPAGENAME}}
by
Optional if specified, overrides the usual display of the operator's username in the first line generated from the three unnamed parameters.
approvalneeded
If status indicated active/approved, or globalbot, setting no will make the template indicate that the bot is running tasks for which no approval is needed.
overridebrfa
If the bot has multiple requests or approval, or multiple tasks, and the default BRFA link cannot link to a page that contains all the bot's approved requests or tasks, this field allows inputting a link to any Wikipedia page. Specifying this field overrides brfa.
more
Any additional information to specify in the mbox. Usually not needed, since |status=, |brfa=, and |approvalneeded= covers most cases.
