 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Bot Top}}). |
This template is used to close discussion on a bot request. The shortcut {{subst:BT}} can be used in place of {{subst:Bot Top}}. Similarly {{subst:BB}} can be used in place of {{subst:Bot Bottom}}.
The template takes two parameters: the first parameter is the text of one of the bot templates below (valid input includes approved, trial, speedy, denied, withdrawn, expired, and revoked), and the second parameter is the name of the bot, for sorting use in the category defined by the first parameter.
| First parameter | Added to category | Background |
|---|---|---|
| approved, speedy | Approved Wikipedia bot requests for approval | #EAFFEA |
| denied | Denied Wikipedia bot requests for approval | #FFEAEA |
| revoked | Revoked Wikipedia bot requests for approval | |
| expired | Expired Wikipedia bot requests for approval | #EDEAFF |
| withdrawn | Withdrawn Wikipedia bot requests for approval | |
