There are a few ways to have bots run (AWB, mentioned earlier, is the easier one, and then there's stuff like Pywikibot which requires Python knowledge), but the only way to get a bot flag is to have a public discussion about whether you need the bot, and then show that to Wikia staff to ask for the flag.
