A wikiBot is a set of small programs (scripts) that automate wiki editing tasks. You should use a bot if you have a large number of edits that you need to perform. The bot takes care of repetitive and mundane tasks so you don't have to. Writing bot scripts requires good programming skills, but operating a bot is relativly easy. On Wikihack anyone can run a bot. However, you must notify us on the [Community Forum] before doing so. It's considered good manners to run the bot from its own user account, usually Bot.
