Forum:Bots: Which, Where and how?

Hello. I have been wondering about getting bots to help on two projects I'm part of. I don't know where to start. I am really asking if anyone knows which bot(s) I need to: Fix mass vandalism; Rename a category etc; and a few other things maybe. A patroller would be interesting, but I would probably be leaning towards semi-auto editing. I have looked at AutoWikiBrowser, but I'm not sure about loading software onto my computer for it. Also Wikia is set up differently than Wikipedia, so using one from there could be a problem? :) Starfleet Academy "Live long and prosper." 03:11, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * AWB is probably your best bet. Any bot is going to require a software download. AWB is the easiest to use and is what I use for the most part. Have a look at wikipedia:Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser. Once you download it, it is pretty self explanatory as to how to run it.--

Thanks God, I'll look into it. ;) Starfleet Academy "Live long and prosper." 03:21, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

I can't get AWB to log in, how do I log in on Wikia? Starfleet Academy "Live long and prosper." 04:00, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Options -> Preferences -> Site Then use the dropdown and click Wikia as the project. Then enter the part of the URL that comes before the .wikia.com on your wiki, and hit Okay. Then click File -> Login/Profiles and from there it is self explanatory. 04:06, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

I can't find the Options. Starfleet Academy "Live long and prosper." 04:09, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
