Hey editors!

You may have noticed a new face appear in the edit logs. A user by the name of Roblox Wiki Bot to be exact. Part of my job as a wiki administrator is to keep everyone informed of changes to the wiki. For the past couple of months, we've been experimenting with editing the from our discord server. A lot of this testing has been done on my personal bot account. However, after adding a couple of people to the list, we decided to move it to a new name.

Why am I telling you this? We want to keep all of you informed of big changes to the wiki, and this is definitely a big change. As a result of the bot, you might notice improvements, including more accurate pages, and pages created at a much faster pace than if they were done directly through the wiki.

All users who have editing access through the bot have the 'Bot Access' badge on their profile. A full list of these users can be seen here.

FAQ Anything I need to do to continue editing? Nope. This bot will not interfere with your editing at all.

Will all editors eventually be able to use the bot? Due to moderation concerns, we will probably not be extending this bot outside of the staff and super editor groups. However, we might be selecting small groups of trusted editors in the future to join the program.

Are there any automated processes? At the moment, all processes done by the bot are ran through a command (eg. creating a page, updating page stats, etc). There are no automated edits, yet. However, automated processes (eg. updating every page in a category/namespace) are planned.

Will this bot always show in wiki activity? Automated processes (see above) will not be shown in wiki activity. However, single processes will be shown.

Will this extend to other programs in the future, or will it stay on Discord? We have no plans to extend to other programs.
