I'm willing to grant bot status wherever there's community consensus.

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_bot_status for the proper procedure.

One user has emailed me asking me to grant it to User:TXiKiBoT so that he can read the Recent Changes more easily. Many other wikis have gone through the same sort of thing with this bot - see http://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lankide_eztabaida:TXiKi.

I'm ready to ask for a bot status for this wikipedia, but I can't find for the request page. I have seen that you have 4 bureaucrat users, so you are able to grant for bot status. I'll do my request here:

[edit] Bot flag request for User:TXiKiBoT

Hello, I'm eu:TXiKi, from the basque wikipedia, and I would like to ask you for a bot flag here to add and correcting interwiki links from and to Maori Wikipedia. I'm an admin user in the basque wikipedia (eu) and I have the bot flag in more than 80 wikipedias. I work with the pywikipedia framework correcting the most linked pages as years, decades, domains, municipalities, etc. This is the full list of the wikipedias where I have a flagged bot: am, an, ar, ast, az, bat-smg, be, bn, bpy, br, bs, ca, co, cs, csb, cv, cy, da, en, eo, es, et, eu, fo, fr, frp, fur, fy, ga, gd, gl, gu, he, hi, ht, hy, is, it, jv, kn, ksh, ku, lb, lij, lmo, ln, mk, mr, na, nah, nap, nds-nl, nl, no, nrm, oc, os, pl, pt, ru, ru-sib, scn, sco, simple, sk, sl, sq, sr, su, sv, ta, te, tet, tg, tr, ur, vec, vi, vls, vo, zh-classical and zh-yue. I can speak basque, spanish, catalan and english. Thank you. TXiKiBoT 14:02, 12 Paenga-whāwhā 2007 (UTC)

Kia ora, Hello TXiKiBoT. Unfortunately the community here asked Robin Patterson in November to cease his involvement with this Wiki, which he has basically respected until now. Have you approached any of the other bureaucrats? I have approached en:User:Vardion. Kahuroa 21:05, 13 Paenga-whāwhā 2007 (UTC)
I can flag TXiKiBoT as a bot, assuming that it is the consensus of active users here. It would also be a good idea, I suppose, if someone who was active here became a bureaucrat, too — I'm not around here very often (my only real involvement here was in the early stages in an attempt to get things started, and even then, my knowledge of the language was too low for me to contribute much). In the meantime, though, I'll do what's asked — is there consensus that TXiKiBoT should be flagged as a bot? -- Vardion 01:44, 14 Paenga-whāwhā 2007 (UTC)
It was me who asked Robin to flag this as a bot. I am not active much here now days, as we have got to a stage where Kahuroa has improved this wiki to a better stage of Māori language.
Kahuroa, I asked as I was not aware of that, and only asked him because he is a bureaucrat, and the only one I knew to have been active here. I check the RC most days for spam, and vandalism, and I feel a bot flag for this active bot will make life easier. Heoi anō; nā Brian (talk) 04:26, 14 Paenga-whāwhā 2007 (UTC)
