A bot is a computer program that automates certain tasks, which in this case is editing this wiki. Unlike bots that perform tasks in Stellar Dawn, bots here are allowed and encouraged. However, given that there is a potential for bots to malfunction or vandalise, the community must carefully regulate their operation to prevent them from damaging the wiki. Community members that are interested in creating a wiki bot should read creating a bot on Wikipedia, as it provides useful background information that applies here.
