To help prove that a bot is '''harmless''' and '''useful''', a trial period may be asked to demonstrate the bot. Any complaints made about the bot during the trial period require that the bot be stopped immediately, and the issue should be resolved at [[Centiare talk:Bots]]. If the trial period passes with no problems, a bot flag may be requested at [[WP:BRFA|Requested bot flags]].

If you '''plan to make any modifications''' to your bot that expand the scope of its original purpose, please leave a note on the [[Centiare talk:Bots|talk page]] regarding the nature of the change to assert that no one has any problems with your bot, and with such additions the bot will still be '''harmless''' and '''useful''', and not a '''[[server hog]]'''.
