Featured script

Welcome.py is a script written by Orgullomoore, Siebrand and Filnik. As the name already explains, it's used to welcome new users, and provides functionality like a bad-nickname filter, a check if a user is already blocked, random signs and so on. You can find the documentation here and if you have problem, ask to Filnik.

Did you know...

• ... that Pywikipediabot has existed since 2003?
• ... but that it is not the only bot framework?
• ... you don't need to be a programmer to run bots?

About Botwiki

Botwiki, formerly known as Pywikipedia or Fkregex (former url http://fkregex.sno.cc) is a wiki for documenting and testing bots. The project started on 18 March 2007 as a collaboration between Filnik and Snowolf.

The project's goal is to spread knowledge about wikibots and promote their development and use.

The project isn't organized in the same way as the WMF project you came from, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Only free images, media and software are allowed. Fair use is explicitly forbidden; even though the servers are located in the United States, Botwiki is legally owned by an Italian citizen and as such the whole project should follow both Italian and US laws.
