:You can always code a bot account if you wish. You can make a separate account for "bot" edits and regular edits as well, if you like. On the old wiki, bot accounts had their edits marked as patrolled automatically, but this is not the case on the new wiki, so there's not much point in designating an account as a "bot" account on the server side anymore. If you do make a separate "bot" account, it will have to make a certain number of edits before it can bypass the abuse filters, but that's the only difference.

Good to know! I asked Horizon98 how they did theirs, and they showed me the ropes. Right now I am a little busy, so I will start working on the bot tonight. Thanks! :) [[User:Fnaticlyric560|Fnaticlyric560]] ([[User talk:Fnaticlyric560|talk]]) 19:46, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

:Status Update: I have created the bot account! I am going through the mediawiki guidebook that Horizon98 sent me the link to so that I can figure out how to use it. Question: Isn't there a way to get a sandbox-sorta-thing on the wiki? I would like to try and test the bot out somewhere safe first before I risk messing up the wiki. Thanks for your help!
