At present, bot flags can only be assigned to or removed from users by Wikia staff. This means that creating a bot requires jumping through a few extra hoops; because of this, when I needed to do a series of bot edits (using AWB) on the Beatles Wiki, I did them myself in admin mode rather than getting my bot user a bot flag for that wiki so that it could do them.

I see no reason why bureaucrats should not have the ability to promote or demote bot users on their wiki, as they do with admin users. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
