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)
