The number of bot edits is in no way representative of the operator's skill level. One could so a simple search-and-replace for a category that spans 2000 articles which only counts for one XP, yet 10 small tasks have way bigger potential of showcasing bot expertise.

From my point of view, it's best to achieve community approval per use, not per account. For any task, the bot should edit a single page (or maybe 10) to test if it is working as intended (yes, for every task).

Granting the flag should be a community vote anyway since Fandom staff are the ones to grant the rights (S:C them and link the CT).

I'm not sure what to do with the content moderation-flag. It is only used for editing protected content. There are tasks where you would never collide with such content and even if it happens those failed few can easily be located (logs) and fixed by hand.

And don't be afraid of potential vandalism, it can't do that much harm. In the rare case anything occurs, contact VSTF and they can mass revert all edits.
