<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Policy}}<br /> In the scope of the MediaWiki software, a '''bot''' is a user account within the &lt;span class=plainlinks&gt;[{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers|group=bot}} bot group]&lt;/span&gt;. Bot accounts are typically used by computer programs which perform automated tasks on the wiki.<br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> As bot accounts have lower restriction than normal users and as their edits are hidden from [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] by default, the following things are required when using the bot account, independently of the way the edits are done:<br /> * Provide a way for ''all'' users to pause the bot (within 5 edits). A common way to do this is to check the talk page for new messages.<br /> * Clearly state on the bot's user page that it is a bot and list the bot operator/owner and a description on how to pause the bot.<br /> * Use the bot only for ''non-controversial'' or ''consensus-approved'' tasks and always be careful. The bot operator alone takes the full responsibility of all actions performed by a bot account.<br /> <br /> == Bot group ==<br /> Although it is not prohibited to make multiple automated edits without being a member of the bot group, one should consider requesting bot membership for a secondary account on the [[Guild Wars Wiki:Admin noticeboard|admin noticeboard]] if one plans to continue. The decision is left to the [[Guild Wars Wiki:List of bureaucrats|bureaucrats]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Guild Wars Wiki:Projects/Editing bots]]</div>
