Bots are accounts controlled by wiki users that perform automated tasks on Nookipedia. Five bot accounts (Bot, Autotroph, Weavile, HamsterMech and ZuckerBot) are currently in use on the wiki.

Abilities

With the exception of sending emails to wiki users and moving pages, Bots have the abilities of an autoconfirmed user, in addition to the following:

  • Suppress redirects when moving pages
  • Make minor edits to talk page that are not marked as new messages
  • Upload files from a URL
  • Use higher limits in API queries
  • Make string replacements on the entire wiki

Bots' edits do not appear on the Recent Changes list by default, and their edits are automatically marked as patrolled.
