From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

StrategyWiki welcomes the responsible use of bots to automate routine tasks and prevent death by boredom.

[edit] Bot authorisation

If you have a sincere and genuine reason for needing to run a bot on StrategyWiki, you are advised to talk to one of the sysops about it on their talk page, who will then consider your application and forward it to a bureaucrat for implementation, as only bureaucrats can grant bot users the bot flag necessary for them to be allowed to run on StrategyWiki.

To be authorised, your bot must…

• not request pages from StrategyWiki more than once every 10 seconds.
• not download huge numbers of pages in one go (page dumps are available upon request for this purpose).
• have the provision to be stopped at any time when requested, ideally automatically if its talk page is changed.
• clearly state in the edit summary what changes it has made to the page (e.g. "Added to Category:Example" rather than "Bot edit").
• have its source code licensed under an Open-Source license, and available on the bot's user page (or a sub-page thereof).
• run using a user account specially set up only for the use of that bot.
• be proven to be stable and conform to all rules.

If you plan to submit a bot for authorisation, please have the following information available on its user page:

• Purpose (e.g. typo and punctuation repair)
• Programming language and license
• Running times, if known
• Author and maintainer of the software (preferably with a link to their user page on StrategyWiki)

[edit] Writing bots

If you want to write a bot for MediaWiki/StrategyWiki, you are very welcome to do so, and there are people here who are willing to help, providing they know about the language you plan to use. However, when writing a bot, make sure that it will do no harm when you're testing it, ideally using a local test installation of MediaWiki before releasing the bot into the wild, or at least making sure that any edits it makes are logged locally and never actually uploaded.
