Dev Wiki:Bots

On, a lot of work related to maintaining documentation articles can be automated, and edit automation is usually done via bots. As regular accounts are subject to higher rate limits and may needlessly flood recent changes with their edits, it is preferable that a bot account has a bot flag before doing any major work on the wiki.

This page is for requesting bot flags for your bots whenever you have maintenance work to do on the wiki. To prevent potential abuse, bot flags can only be requested if certain conditions are met: In case of bot's misbehavior, if determined to be in good faith, the bot's account will be blocked temporarily until the issue has been resolved.
 * You are active in the wiki's community
 * Your bot's purpose does not go against the wiki's policy
 * If your bot is going to edit over 100 articles, the matter must be publicly discussed and agreed with beforehand
 * Leaving the bot flag on your bot after the maintenance work is done can only be requested by content moderators
