User blog comment:TheGoldenPatrik1/A Practical Guide to Bots/@comment-8-20171201182953

This is an impressive blog! We get lots of questions about bots and how to run them, so this will be a useful one to point people towards. I've given it a Community Highlight

One small correction - you shouldn't ask for a bot flag until your bot is set up and tested (for example on a test wiki like the Community Test Wiki). And you also need to get the permission of the community to run the bot there - especially if the wiki you will be working on is an active one.

Thanks for such a useful and well written blog!
