I am sometimes asked to request for bot status for my bot. I find this strange. Bot status is there for the normal users of the wiki, not for the bot operator. If you want my bot to have bot status, then you request it. I'd be happy to help you in that, but why should I request something just because someone else wants it?
Because it's respectful when you're playing on someone else's turf, to play by their rules?
Which rule are we talking about? It's people from wikipedia X asking me to ask wikipedia X to have my bot get bot status. If they want my bot to have bot status, I'm not stopping them. I just find it strange for someone to say "please ask me for Y" when the one profiting from Y is that person...
