Forum:Use of AWBs on this wiki

First of all, I'd like to thank anyone who shares there feedback on this idea. Recently, there have been cases where we have had to add categories to over one hundred pages, this is an incredibly time-consuming and boring task for most humans, and as this wiki grows and becomes more popular the need might arise where we would be forced to add categories and/or templates to maybe several hundred to one thousand pages. This could easily be solved with the use of AWB, or AutoWikiBrowser, these bots could save normal editors of the wiki a lot of time and effort. AWB bots are very common on larger wikipedia projects and are used to automatically edit some pages, according to their coding, and add a category, add templates, or even for spellchecking. Creating these bots do take up a decent amount of time, however, I believe the effort is worth it because in my opinion creating a bot is much less tiresome than adding categories to hundreds of pages. I have had previous experience with AWBs and would be happy to start the first AWB on this wiki if I get enough support. Thank you. 21:03, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
