Forum:How to add a bot

Hello! I've been seeing bots on other wikis and have been wondering how to create a bot on my own. I've seen other forums but they don't answer my questions. What I do know is that you have to add some sort of flag but I also don't know how to add script to a bot, as I have never done it before. Thanks!
 * 1) I don't know how to do that
 * 2) I don't know how to get a bot account in the first place

Peace, Dark Sovereign 193


 * You can have a look at Help:Bots and see if it helps you. What exactly do you want to use the bot for, though? https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/cfmtest/images/4/40/Signature_avatar_img.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20201109051129  CrazyForMyself 02:00, 01/23/21 (UTC)

 * Only Fandom staff can enable the bot flag so you need to submit a request to get that done. As for getting the account, it is just a normal account. Create a new separate account for the bot. For transparency purposes, make it clear that it is a bot account and provide links to your main account. This is typically done using the bot account's user page and profile info. Note that bots on Fandom are not scripts you leave running while you log-out and do something else. Bots require the account to remain logged-in while performing actions.
