Hello,

Bots are automated ways to edit wikis, usually done by a program called "AutoWikiBrowser" (AWB) or "pywikipediabot". They allow you to do mass maintenance tasks at a time, like adding a category to a bunch of pages, or deleting pages that have a specific pattern. I would not recommend trying to get the bot software unless you actually have a maintenance need for your wiki and have a pretty high technical profeciency as bots, as useful as they are, are hard to set up and could cause damage if configured incorrectly.
