Forum:Creating a bot

Hi i was wondering, could someone please help me by creating a certain bot for a general purpose wikia (which I have adminship on) (neoencyclopedia.wikia.com)? cheers Sclera1 (talk) 02:03, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, you'll want to install the pywikipediabot framework. Information is available here. TK-999 (talk) 11:59, November 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you're completely lost as to what Python is, AutoWikiBrowser may be easier to use. -Sherm/Talk [12:23, November 2, 2012 (UTC)]


 * What exactly do you need the bot to do? I might have some spare time. I am not me (talk) 03:48, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

what about checking if the pages have a "Wikipedia" template upon its creation, and if it hasn't then add it. Is that possible? =) Sclera1 (talk) 10:34, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * As long as the template is going at the top or bottom of the page, yes, that's quite possible and easy to do. Pywikipediabot's add_text.py was designed to do just that. The hardest part is narrowing down what pages need the template. If all pages on your wiki need it, I can easily generate a list from the database backup at Special:Statistics.

 * First of all, see An Introduction to AutoWikiBrowser by Randomtime. If you have questions about it, leave them in this forum. PP-Sig-Code-1.svg ( PP-Sig-Code-2.svg ) 07:29, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
