Forum:I could do with a bot, how do you go about it?

OK, I've created about 80 template tables today - except that I forgot to put the final "|}" at the end of them!! :o All the templates start with the word "Box". I presume I could get a bot to automatically add "|}" to the end of them but I don't know how I would go about it? Any help appreciated! TellyFan 23:47, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Damn! That must have hurt! :p
 * Well... You can make a template that calls those 80 templates and adds the extra |} at the end. Something like: Template:I_forgot_this_stupid_close_table


 * }
 * I'm joking! Don't do this! I can't help you with that since I've never setup a bot.

 * Take a look at AWB. It would probably be the easiest for what you are trying to do. If you need any more help. Post here.--

It did hurt but at least it gave me an excuse to put them all in a category as well. In the end I just did it manually - I averaged more than 1 a minute and I decided it was quicker than trying to learn something new - especially as (at first glance at any rate) it seemed like I'd have to oversee the bots' work anyway. Thanks for the info though. TellyFan 15:38, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
