On Help:Bot, it says "a link to a public discussion on your community or explicit permission from a bureaucrat, showing approval of the use and flagging of the bot"&mdash;either a bureaucrat or the community may approve of a bot. Howevr, on Help:User rights, it says "but community consensus is required for the addition of users' bot status." In contrast, only the community may approve it, not a bureaucrat. I would assume that whether or not bureaucrats may approve bots is a decision for each wiki to make, but this should be clarified (i.e. both help articles say the same thing).
