Bots

A bot is a piece of software that makes automated edits on a wiki and also helps normal users to make semi-automated edits. Bots are most often used to make repetitive edits to many pages, such as moving a group of pages to a new category, fixing links to disambiguation pages, or to search for misspelled words and replace them with correct ones.

General bot information
If you are planning on doing a lot of edits, consider discussing with your community if the account should be flagged as a bot. This allows the account's edits to be hidden from the Recent Changes by default. Bots in general are specific to the wiki - each wiki you edit will need to flag the account as a bot.

 * Help:Using Special:BotPasswords - You will need to generate a BotPassword at Special:BotPasswords.
 * AutoWikiBrowser
 * AWB requires the latest update. This update cannot be downloaded through the auto-updater and would have to be downloaded manually and overwrite your files in the AWB directory.
 * If Project:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage exists on the wiki, you will need to ensure your bot is on that list.
 * Pywikibot
 * Pywikibot is a Python library and collection of tools that automate work.
 * Requires Python. To check whether you have Python installed and to find its version, just type "python" at the CMD or shell prompt. Python 2.7.4 or higher or Python 3.4 or higher is required to run the bot but 3.5 or higher is recommended.
