- Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal)
My experience as a coordinator on several WikiProjects and large-scopes collaboration has led me to make great use of the bot-writing community found on the English Wikipedia. In this talk, I would like to share this experience with others, and discuss a few bots and their impact on Wikipedia. Particularly:
- Tagging bots
- ArticleAlertbot: Article Alerts
- WolterBot: Cleanup listings
- WikiStatsBOT: Journal Cited by Wikipedia
- JL-Bot: Walls of Recognized Content
- WildBot: Cleanup: Disambiguation and Wikipedia Books
- Track (People and Community/Knowledge and Collaboration/Infrastructure)
