Forum:BOT

Whats a BOT? --


 * An automated script or program designed to make repetitive edits or actions easier by automating them. See Help:Bot for more info. -- 14:25, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Can I add one to NBA wiki . It needs one bad. --
 * That's up to you, anyone can download and run these scripts if you read the included docs or manuals. See the bottom of the Help:Bot page for links to AWB or Pybot and pick one or both depending on what you need it to do. Then request it be flagged before you start running tasks so it doesn't flood the recent changes. -- 15:34, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, would it be worth putting a page together somewhere of a list of users willing to run their bots on other wikis for people? -- Lewis Cawte  (Talk - Contact) 19:34, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it would be easier for them to learn how to use the programs. AWB is easy to learn as it has shiny buttons instead of a shell script and the Wikipedia project page has nice manuals on it and if I can teach someone how to use it in relatively no time at all, anyone can learn it! ;) -- 19:40, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
