+This is a page for '''requesting tasks to be done by [[Wikipedia:Bots|bots]]''' per the [[Wikipedia:bot policy|bot policy]]. This is an appropriate place to put ideas for uncontroversial bot tasks, to get early feedback on ideas for bot tasks (controversial or not), and to seek [[Wikipedia:Bots/Dictionary#bot op|bot operator]]s for bot tasks. Consensus-building discussions requiring large community input (such as [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment|request for comments]]) should normally be held at [[WP:VPPROP]] or other relevant pages (such as a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]]'s talk page).
-</div>
-<ul id="mp-portals">
+You can check the "Commonly Requested Bots" box above to see if a suitable bot already exists for the task you have in mind. If you have a question about a particular bot, contact the bot operator directly via their talk page or the bot's talk page. If a bot is acting improperly, follow the guidance outlined in [[WP:BOTISSUE]]. For broader issues and general discussion about bots, see the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard|bot noticeboard]].

+'''Before making a request''', please see the [[Wikipedia:Bot requests/Frequently denied bots|list of frequently denied bots]], either because they are too complicated to program, or do not have [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] from the Wikipedia community. If you are requesting that a template (such as a WikiProject banner) is added to all pages in a particular category, please be careful to '''check the category tree''' for any unwanted subcategories. It is best to give a complete list of categories that should be worked through individually, rather than one category to be analyzed recursively (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Morocco/Categories&diff=448147249&oldid=448134870 example difference]).

-<li class="portal-hright">[[Portal:Society|Society]]</li>

+'''Note to bot operators:''' The {{tl|BOTREQ}} template can be used to give common responses, and make it easier to keep track of the task's current status. If you complete a request, note that you did with {{tlx|BOTREQ|done}}, and archive the request after a few days ([[WP:1CA]] is useful here).
