The Kerbal Space Program Wiki makes use of many automated editing programs in order to perform mass edits efficiently and with minimum disruption. The programs are referred to as bots and are carefully controlled.

Types of Bots Allowed

  • Enforce the Manual of Style.
  • Replace page links (if a page is moved or deleted)
  • Fix redirects
  • Crush images (fulfilled by RoboJeb)
  • Check external links

Other helpful editing systems may be allowed with discussion.

Rules

All bots must:

  1. Be tested in advance in a sandbox
  2. Have {{BlockBotButton|owner=~~~}} somewhere on its User: page
    1. BlockBotButton must have the ownership field filled out with the User: name of the owner.
  3. Describe what its jobs are
  4. Be marked with a bot account flag (talk to User:N3X15)
