Forum:QATestsBot

Is user:QATestsBot an official Wikia staff operated bot? It doesn't have the bot-global flag, or even a bot flag, and has favorite wikis, plus a weird user icon. Should it/s/he be blocked as a vandal for looking like one of the bot-global accounts in naming pattern but not being one? -- 76.65.131.248 13:08, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've seen this bot as well. Yes it does have favorite wikis, yes it has an avatar, and no, there is no Bot flag. Infact i don't see any flag. If it's a helpful Bot, don't block it but if it vandalizes perhaps it should be. I don't know its purpose. Ceadeus  Slayer  14:22, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes. -- Austin (Talk) 04:40, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, its a bot run by TOR. 09:37, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a Wikia bot being run by someone in our Ops team. We should have ensured that it was marked as a global bot so people wouldn't get confused or concerned about it - we've done so now. Jen Burton (help forum | blog) 14:36, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
