Please read the policy before making a request for bot permission. See also Wikinews:Global bots.
On the bot userpage, add the {{TestBot}} template, which automatically adds the page to Category:Test bots.
Then add the following mandatory information to the bot userpage:
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.
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.

Bot tasks for which permission is being sought: 
See Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance#Licenses_on_files_etc. for background information.
I plan to change {{printedition}} to {{Image info}} like this: Special:Diff/4734706
Personally I would perhaps skip Category:February 2006 because Category:February 1, 2006 is a category in Category:February 2006. But File:31January2007.pdf is caegorized in both the day category and the month category.
I can do other stuff too related to cleaning up in files. For example add {{Image info}}  if no such template is added or remove Category:Files needing attention if the problem have been resolved.

I have bot flag on several wikis. For example Commons and Japanese wikipedia. I have done millions of edits. --MGA73 (talk) 15:10, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
