SporeWiki:Bots

This is a page where bot jobs can be requested. A bot job is a repetive task (doing the same thing to many pages) that a wikibot can do. A wikibot is an account controlled by another user who runs a program on his/her computer to do the tasks. A wikibot can be marked as a bot by Wikia Staff. If this is done, edits done by the bot will not show up on Special:RecentChanges unless the individual users chooses to see them. Therefore only trusted users are allowed to have their bots flagged. To request a bot account to be marked, please notify an admin. If the admins trust you, they can pass it on to a Wikia Staff member. A list of current wikibots on SporeWiki can be found on Special:Listusers/bot.

Wikibot programs
Please note that bot programs are primarily made for Wikipedia and may not always work as intended with Wikia.
 * AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) is one of the simplest and most used programs. It can be downloaded at http://toolserver.org/~reedy/awbsnapshots/ and has a support channel on IRC at irc://chat.freenode.net/AutoWikiBrowser.
 * PyWikipediaBot is a more advanced program. Download and help is found on http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/.
