{{Meta policy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bots&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on Wiki Oasis are user accounts operated by scripts or tools rather than people. They are mainly used to handle repetitive or technical tasks that would be time-consuming to do manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Purpose ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bots help keep the wiki organized and up to date. They might fix links, clean up formatting, add categories, or carry out other routine jobs across multiple pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== How They Work ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bot accounts are controlled using scripts or programs that interact with the wiki through the MediaWiki API or similar tools. These scripts send instructions just like a regular user would, but in an automated way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bot User Group ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bots are added to a special user group called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;bot&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. This allows them to:&lt;br /&gt;
* Avoid triggering CAPTCHAs&lt;br /&gt;
* Operate without flooding recent changes&lt;br /&gt;
* Perform edits more efficiently&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requirements for Bot Approval ==&lt;br /&gt;
Before operating, bot accounts should be approved. To request bot status, the following is typically required:&lt;br /&gt;
* A clear description of what the bot will do&lt;br /&gt;
* A test run or example of its actions&lt;br /&gt;
* A stable and safe script that won&amp;#039;t disrupt normal editing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Requests can be made at [[Meta:Requests for permissions]]. Administrators review them to make sure the bot is useful and won&amp;#039;t cause problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bots should only be used for constructive tasks. Misuse of a bot account—like mass editing without approval or spamming—can result in its permissions being removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== See also ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Special:ListGroupRights#bot|Special:ListGroupRights]] - List of bot rights&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Special:ListUsers/bot]] - Automated list of bots&lt;br /&gt;
