Greetings!

The ''BAG Newsletter'' is now the ''Bots Newsletter'', per [[Wikipedia talk:Bots/News#Enlarge scope?|discussion]]. As such, we've subscribed all [[:Category:Wikipedia bot operators|bot operators]] to the newsletter. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from [[Wikipedia:Bots/Spam|this list]].

Highlights for this newsletter include:
;Arbcom

*''Community encouraged to review common fixes''
*''Community encouraged to review policy on cosmetic edits''
*''Developers encouraged to improve AWB interface''
*''Bot approvals group encouraged to carefully review BRFA scope''
*''Reminders/Restrictions specific to Magioladitis''

;BRFAs
We currently have 27 [[Wikipedia:BAG/Status|open]] bot requests at [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval]], and could use your help processing!

;Discussions
There are multiple ongoing discussions surrounding bot-related matters. In particular:
*[[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy#WP:COSMETICBOT update|RFC on COSMETICBOT]]
*[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Check Wikipedia#Identifying cosmetic fixes|Efforts at WP:CHECKWIKI to identify cosmetic fixes]]

*A phabricator ticket {{phab|T162685}} has been made to have a "bots" tag, so issues related to bot frameworks can be tracked

;New things
Several new things are around:
*A BAG Guide has been created ([[WP:BAGG]], [[Wikipedia talk:Bot Approvals Group/Guide|discussion]]).
*Users now have the option to hide AWB from their watchlists via a script ([[WP:HIDEAWB]], [[User_talk:Evad37/Watchlist-hideAWB.js#Permanently hide AWB?|discussion]])
*The guidance on how to deal with bot issues has been overhauled ([[WP:BOTISSUE]], [[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy/Archive 25#Changes to "dealing with issues" section|discussion]])
*The bot policy has been updated to clarify that bot operators are required to register accounts. ([[WP:BOTACCOUNT]], [[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy#Are/should IPs be allowed to run bots?|discussion]])
