Since this thread is kind of dead I'll come up with a final summary based on the feedback above. If no significant grievances are offered within the next few days the CT will be closed, because it's been open for more than two months now.

Operator prerequisites:
 * User must actively hold the position of patroller, administrator, bureaucrat, or Helper when applying to be eligible (an edit count is required for these positions anyway).
 * User must be familiar with all current TESWiki policies and style guidelines and must have good editing skills in general.
 * User has previous bot experience on a different wiki (2,500+ bot edits) and must give evidence of several different task types to prove they are proficient with its usage.
 * If the user is lacking in one of the above sections, an exception can be made if they have shown exceptional traits, abilities, and/or actions that prove them fit for the position.

Applying for a bot:
 * User should list the following things while applying:
 * User background, types of edits, skills, etc.
 * Reason a new bot account is needed on the wiki and what type of bot they have in mind
 * Links to several (at least 3–5) bot tasks of different varieties from a different wiki.

Carrying out bot tasks:
 * All large-scale, complex, or potentially controversial bot tasks should be done only after a community consensus has approved said task. Additionally, any task that goes even slightly against any states policy or style guideline requires community consensus to be carried out.
 * Minor content and formatting tasks do not require community input, but a CT may still be created for such tasks if deemed necessary by the bot operator.

We need to decide on something eventually, and this was the most reasonable compromise I could think up.
