TestWiki:Bots

Bots have no significant use on the Test Wiki. Bureaucrats can add themselves or another user to the bot group, for testing and prevent flooding. You may request/add the bot flag to your account for testing purposes, however, after testing please remember to remove your access. A bureaucrat should be able to remove their own bot access, as well as other's. To request to operate a full bot account, please make a request here or at the community portal. Bots have the following permissions:


 * Be treated as an automated process (bot)
 * Edit pages protected as "Allow only autoconfirmed users" (editsemiprotected)
 * Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol)
 * Not be affected by IP-based rate limits (autoconfirmed)
 * Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect)
 * Not have minor edits to discussion pages trigger the new messages prompt (nominornewtalk)
 * Perform CAPTCHA-triggering actions without having to go through the CAPTCHA (skipcaptcha)
 * Use higher limits in API queries (apihighlimits)
 * Use of the write API (writeapi)
