User:The wubbot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user account is a bot operated by the wub (talk).

It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

From the people who brought you the wub, comes the wubbot. Several disadvantages of the old model have been eliminated, including:

  • Downtime caused by the need for sleep
  • Issues with unreliable memory
  • Occasionally getting plain bored with repetitive menial tasks

the wubbot is built on the successful pywikipedia framework.
