Википеди:Bots

Сæрибар энциклопеди Википедийы æрмæг.

Bots are automated scripts or processes which perform jobs on Wikipedia. Usually they do jobs which would take a long time to do without the bot.

Bots perform their jobs under a different user name than the owner, so that it is easy to tell them apart. Also, bot edits are hidden from pages like Special:Recentchanges to keep them from flooding the list. To see the bot edits click "show bot edits" at the top of Newest changes.

The most popular type of bot is called the Python Wikipedia Robot Framework or "pywikipediabot" for short.

These users have been given a "bot flag" and are approved to perform tasks:

Some other bots make occasional edits here, usually creating interwiki links, but do not have a bot flag:

To get approved to run a bot, describe your bot below, create a new account for it, run some tests for a short time, and get agreement from other users that the bot's use is a good idea. Once that is done, a formal request for a bot flag is made at meta:Requests for bot status.

Hello,

I am a French Wikpedian fr:User:Vargenau (where I am sysop), here User:Vargenau, and I ask for permission to use robot User:Escarbot.

This robot will only be used to make interwikis (using pywikipedia interwiki.py). I already have robot status on fr: nl: sr: ht: da: pt: is: it: li: sv: sk: na: be: ja: ro: lb: zh-min-nan: de: bg: bs: la: mk: hr: pl: ru: fa: eo: tr: ku: fi: vi: ca: ka: en: bn: el: ia: az: zh-yue: no: csb: an:

You can check the edit already made by my bot in Special:Contributions/Escarbot

Thank you for you support.

The bot already does a lot of useful work; if it gets bot flag, we will not see it on the Recent Changes page. I beg admins to give bot status to Escarbot. - Amikeco 17:13, 5 октября 2006 (UTC)
The bot flag was set on meta. Thank you for your help. Vargenau 19:19, 16 октября 2006 (UTC)

This bot do standard interwiki addiction too, but only in the languages with bot flag.

If you have any question, please write it to my discuss page 81.0.194.126 10:49, 15 октября 2006 (UTC) / JAn
