Oh that is a good thought! As it happens I was actually thinking of one of them for the Banana Fish wiki (all over “Fish Bot Banana” for the name) since there a like a kazillion photos give or take that need to be categorised and have templates added. Like this for example rather than add it to a fair use category, then inserting the template then clicking the next photo to add that and so forth for the hundreds of images across the wiki, was thinking of a bot that could:


 * Add every last photo on the wiki into the relevant categories all at once


 * Add licensing templates to each one

So each photo looks something like the My Hero Academia category and template wise. I would go to the lengths of going through every last image one at a time and adding the categories and inserting the template no one doubt it, though it would be a better sight for a bot to do that in one go! A bot would also be helpful to have the correct infoboxes since a few different ones were made in the beginning stages of the site.

And of course all the more reason to have a bot if it can be used to help with the polls - that would be even more handy. Since there are currently less pages on Banana Fish and I planned to share the timed random poll order system there as well, that would be a good practice area.

This bot idea is definitely a good one for the reasons above and more, not to mention the polls. And of course it’s a perfect opportunity to learn about bots together since they seem quite handy and it’s always good to know at any rate and this scenario is ideal for practical research!

As well as that consideration I also asked if the timer aspect of the random poll order could be developed by FANDOM since like you say there’s not currently a built in way. I asked Sannse about it here and also thought of a lovely Christmas carol for people to sing, think it’s good?

With the current season we can contemplate these ideas but we do have the pleasantry of time, so we could focus on carrying out these developments more in the New Year. Still, arranging a bot for that or adding something for the random timed poll order, the options are all so lovely to consider!
