Within the context of wikis, a editing bot is an automated software which is generally used to perform repetitive editing tasks. Since a bot is capable of making a huge number of changes in a short period of time, their changes are not shown on the default [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page. To see bot edits, activate [{{fullurl:Special:Recentchanges|hidebots=0}} "''show bot edits''"] on the special page.

If a bot is making inaccurate or inappropriate edits, leave a message on its talk page to shut down the bot and read the bot's user page for additional instructions.

== Current Bots on Guild Wars Wiki ==
* [[User:Wikichu|Wikichu]] ([[Special:Contributions/Wikichu|contribs]])
*: Wikibot of [[User:Poke|Poke]].
*: This bot is primarily used for highly repetitive editing tasks, especially for more complex tasks.

== Requests ==

=== One-time tasks ===
* If we have any active bots, update pages using {{tl|armor art infobox}} and {{tl|item infobox}}} to remove prepending and appending link brackets from the campaign parameter. If not, I'll get around to having it done eventually. [[User_talk:Horrible|horrible]]<small> | [[Special:Contributions/Horrible|contribs]] 09:07, 3 November 2020 (UTC)</small>

* (new requests go here)

=== Periodic tasks ===
* Clean up [[Special:DoubleRedirects]].
* Find and tag redirects which point to the guild and user namespaces.
* Substitute [[Template:Unsigned]], [[Template:Unsigned2]] and [[Template:Unsigned+]].
