Usage
This template is designed to make it easier to reply to requests for bot assistance at WP:BOTREQ and help users see at a glance whether a request has been successful, needs clarification, cannot be done for technical reasons, etc. It generates a comment with a corresponding image depending on the parameter used. Only one parameter should be used with each call of the template!
