Forum:Creating bots - Resources?

Hi. I used to edit a wiki with five people, but since then, I'm the only one looking into it on a daily basis. It would suck for me to leave it to rot with vandalism, so I came back and asked a fellow affiliate who was a bureaucrat there to turn me into a sysop so I can act as a one-man band.

Except, I don't want to be alone. However, interested editors for this particular subject matter who would spend a great deal of time on a wiki are very hard to come by, so I'm considering the use of a bot. I'm currently using AWB, but it doesn't really fit my needs for fixing redlinks.

I did some research on bots, and found that most bots are used for maintenance and minor edits, as well as vandalism revision. I saw some libraries that look pretty easy to develop with, but their functions are too limited. I need a bot that can create a large amount of articles in a short period of time. We have thousands of unwritten scripts for the comics and video episodes waiting to be done. I could always ask the creator for the written scripts just to save lots of time, which would be perfect because I could just parse each line as I'm creating a new page.

TL;DR Is there a bot library out there or an AWB function that allows me to create articles in a short period of time? Chocolancer 22:57, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
