Template documentation

This template can be used to mark a user as a Bot. You should place it on the userpage of your bot.

Usage

In the easiest case, you only have to add your username to the template: {{Bot|<IntegrationBot>}}.

To provide more information, you should also use the task parameter and add the task your bot is working on. You can also add some more information with |info=. If your bot has got a bot-flag, you should set the parameter |flag=yes.

Use |hoster=labs to indicate your bot runs on Toolforge.

Parameters

Template to be placed on the User page of a bot to document the bot.
