Automating tasks on Wikipedia Uploading hundreds of files or changing thousands of pages can be tedious. Limited automation is allowed on Wikipedia as long as it follows certainpolicies. The easiest way is to useAutoWikiBrowser. Or, you always can grab your favoritescripting language and write abot, but there is no need to reinvent the wheel: most modern programming languages have aMediaWiki library already written, there is a full list orprogramming languages andlibrarieshere. Once you have written thecode, you canrequest approval to trial run your bot. Once approved, your bot will beflagged, so it can be hidden fromthe list of recent changes. Alternatively you canrequest someone else take care of the whole matter for you. To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use{{totd-tomorrow}} |
