Hi,

There's really two parts to that question. The first is "how do I set up a bot". You will probably find answer to that in the forums. It generally involves downloading a program, and adapting it for your use. Or, if you are a coder, making something from scratch.

Once you have a working bot, the next thing is to get it flagged. That just tells other people that this account is being used with an automated editor, and does a couple of small things like flag edits so they can be filtered from Recent Changes.

To get a flag, first you need to get the agreement of the community in question - a forum post usually does for that. Then you ask for the flag via Special:Contact. Don't forget to link the discussion!

I hope that helps
