How to close a BRFA as Approved

Once you are satisfied that whatever today's policies are have been met and are ready to close the bot request as approved, here's how it's done:

Steps 3 and 4 should be done automatically by AnomieBOT.

1. Edit the nomination page, making the following changes:
   1. Add ((subst:BT|Approved|Botname)) to the top of the nomination
   2. Make any last relevant comments and place ((BotApproved)) by your comments, adding your user signature afterwords
   3. Add ((subst:BB)) to the bottom of the BRFA.
2. Notify the bot owner with ((subst:Bot Talk|SubpageName|approved|Botname))~~~~ (if a botflag is still needed), or ((subst:Bot Talk|SubpageName|approved))~~~~ (otherwise) on the operator's talkpage.
3. Remove the ((BRFA)) template for the BRFA from WP:BRFA (CTRL+X it, so you have it in your clipboard for the next step)
4. Does the bot need a flag?
   1. Yes -- Open Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Approved and paste the BRFA template in (not subst!) like so: ((BRFA|Botname|Tasknum or blank|Approved|~~~~~))
   2. No -- Open the same page, add ((subst:BRFAA|NameOfBot|tasknum or nothing|Flagged|~~~~~)) instead (note, in both cases, we are referring to the top of the /Approved page, and, those are 5 tildes.
   3. Bot to run without a flag -- Open the same page, add ((subst:BRFAA|NameOfBot|tasknum or nothing|Unflagged|~~~~~)) instead.

Notes

• You can also replace Approved with other statuses in most of these. Anything other than approved shouldn't be added to the /Approved subpage but instead added to the relevant sections of WP:BRFA.
• Please use ((BT)) and don't leave out parameters. It's nice to have neat, organized categories, which make it easier for everyone else to find BRFAs. It's also a pain to clean up the 20 other archive templates that don't add the BRFA to the right categories.
• Many of these tasks are currently automated by AnomieBOT
