This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, your own user sandbox, or the general template sandbox, before changing anything.
{{bot2}} – An information box that indicates that the user is a bot. This template is an alternate visual style for {{Bot}} that makes the status more obvious and uses SVG icons, but takes the same parameters.
The first unnamed parameter specifies the operator of the bot.
2, 3
The second and third unnamed parameters can be used to specify co-operators of the bot, if required.
site
The two letter code for those operators that do not have an account on the English language Wikipedia (though having a local account is strongly recommended).
status
active (and approved), inactive (but approved), trial or unapproved, globalbot
awb
yes (if this bot uses AWB), or omit (if it doesn't).
codebase
The name of the code (programming or scripting language) used to create the bot (e.g., Pywikibot, perlWikipedia, ...)
brfa
Optional if specified, overrides the name of the request for approval. If not specified, defaults to {{BASEPAGENAME}}
by
Optional if specified, overrides the usual display of the operator's username in the first line generated from the three unnamed parameters.
approvalneeded
If status indicated active/approved, or globalbot, setting yes will make the template indicate that the bot is running tasks for which no approval is needed.
overridebrfa
If the bot has multiple requests or approval, or multiple tasks, and the default BRFA link cannot link to a page that contains all the bot's approved requests or tasks, this field allows inputting a link to any Wikipedia page. Specifying this field overrides brfa.
more
Any additional information to specify in the inner status box. Usually not needed, since |status=, |brfa=, and |approvalneeded= covers most cases.
statusstyle
Optional alternative CSS style for the inner status box. Do not put in quotes, but include the ending semicolon (e.g., boxstyle=background-color: #fff;)
statusimage
Optional alternative for the status image in the inner status box.

This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.
Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it.
