Inkipedia:Bots

Bots are automated tools that can change Inkipedia through its API.

Permissions
Main article: User group rights

Bots have permissions of Autoconfirmed users, and:
 * Write access to the wiki API
 * Autopatrolled edits
 * Allow redirect suppression on move
 * Edits are marked as 'bot' and do not show in Special:RecentChanges by default
 * Not have minor edits to discussion pages trigger the new messages prompt
 * Higher rate limits in queries

Applying for a bot
Please reach out directly to a bureaucrat. Be prepared to answer:


 * How has the bot been tested?
 * How much can the bot change?
 * What problem does the bot solve/its usefulness?
 * Does the bot run continuously or by invocation?
 * Does the bot perform tasks for which there is consensus?
 * Does the bot follow Inkipedia policy?
 * What are the bot's edit summaries or messages to users?

Demotion
If you no longer require the bot, please reach out directly to a bureaucrat.
