That's based on Wikipedia, Wikia is slightly more relaxed. From Help:Bots

Important Notes
Bots on Wikia must use a limited editing rate so that they don't overload Wikia's servers. For most bot programs, a rate throttle is built in, so you don't need to worry about this. However, if you find your bot making more than one edit per second, then it's time to slow it down.
