Restrictions
Bot flags can not be placed on accounts that have sysop or bureaucrat flags already set.
Logs
A log of all bot status changes is maintained at Special:Log/makebot.
Licencing and downloads
The extension is available under the GNU General Public Licence 2.0 or later, and can be from SVN downloaded from Subversion, or accessed via the web-based viewer.
The software is provided as-is. Updates will be made according to the needs of Wikimedia wikis; or where critical vulnerabilities are discovered.
