Forums:Bot
Hi! I've written a bot for making life easier over at Ardapedia and I'm hereby asking for permission to place the bot here at Tolkien Gateway, too.
But why would you need a bot? Well, it can do stuff like searching for regular expressions in a list of pages (like "all pages", oder "pages in category XYZ", or page "X", "Y" and "Z") and then edit those pages (i.e. moving all pages from one category to another). In some not that distant future the bot will get an own database and become somewhat more intelligent. But what I really intended to write the bot for was automatic interwiki linking (even though, it turns out the bot is already quite handy with just some basic features).
The framework the bot is built on I wrote on my own (and it's available here), but works pretty well. --Penngaladh 05:41, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
