Wikisource:Bots

Bots are automated programs that make repetitive edits that would be tedious to do manually. They are run by normal users, but under a different user account from their normal account, to distinguish normal edits from automated edits. A bot's user page should make it clear who is responsible for the bot.

Requesting bot status

To request bot status on this project, start a new thread on Wikisource:Scriptorium explaining why you need bot status. After a period of at least one week for input, bot status may be granted (or denied) by a bureaucrat.
