Planning the future of Botwiki! - Help us bring Botwiki up to date, contribute to our strategy discussion, add bot scripts, and contribute manuals, guides, and tutorials! Almost anything related to bots, particularly those used to edit mediawiki, is welcome.
UNABLE TO EDIT? - We've experienced attacks by spambots lately and now require you to confirm your e-mail before you can edit (go to your preferences, enter an e-mail address, and request a confirmation e-mail, then go to your e-mail and click on the confirmation link). We also require new accounts to make a few edits and wait a few minutes before before you can create a page; however, if this is a problem contact us in #botwiki and we can manually confirm your account. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Botwiki:News
- 2011-12-23 Due to recent spam bot attacks, unregistered (IP) users can no longer edit and registered users must now confirm their e-mail before they can edit and must make a few edits and wait a few minutes before they can create or move pages, etc. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you have trouble editing or are registering a bot and want a waiver from autoconfirmed status, contact Snowolf or Doug or join us in #botwiki and let us know.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 07:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
