Thanks Reguyla, the wikia is hollyoaks.wikia.com.

Also thanks Andrew but I'd have to set up a bot for it and I'm not too skilled with that.

You don't need a bot to use the tool, it just recommends running it from a user with bot flag set, so it doesn't spam RecentChanges/WikiActivity. Some other user, a month or so ago, told me that Wikia doesn't temporarily enable the bot flag for actual accounts. They insisted that it would have to be a dedicated bot account. I have no idea if they are right or not.

Yeah, that might be true. Some of us really old admins still have the ability to set the bot flag on some wikis. I have this ability on WoWWiki, but not on other wikis where I'm a bureaucrat. So for WoWWiki, I can make a temp one.
