Please read the policy before making a request for bot permission. See also Wikinews:Global bots.
I | Create a user account (while logged in to your normal account) and a user page for the bot

---|---|
II | Create your bot request:

III | Test run
You could be asked to make a short test run with your bot account (10–20 edits usually) to allow other users to review your bot's tasks. Unauthorized test runs are not allowed. |
IV | Waiting for approval.
You now need to wait for community approval. The request must remain open for at least two weeks. A bureaucrat will close the request and will also grant a bot flag, where necessary. You can then change the {{TestBot}} template to a {{Bot}} on the bot userpage. Closed requests are moved to Wikinews:Bots/Archive. |
