Template:Bot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| This user account is a bot operated by [[:en:User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[:en:User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]).
It is a legitimate alternate account, used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
This template has a sandbox (edit) for editors to experiment.
