Forum:Request for Bot flag

I recently downloaded the AutoWikiBrowser to use for semi-automated wiki editing (i.e. doing simple, repetetive batch edits like adding categories, fixing links, etc.) These kinds of edits clog recent changes, so I have set up an alternate account to use the AWB: User:Cohen'sMuse

Getting a Bot flag for that account will hide all of its edits from recent changes, thus avoiding the clogging issue.

Why do we need a bot/semi-automated account?
A bot would be very useful for scenarios such as:
 * Adjusting links to disambiguation pages
 * Re-tagging pages with different categories if a category becomes obsolete
 * Updating the Games template in articles
 * Making sure that templates like Unsigned are substituted instead of transcluded
 * Moving articles about BioShock Infinite to a special namespace if we apply a custom layout skin to those pages.
 * Correcting spelling errors and wrong lowercase usage of words like "Bioshock"
 * etc.

Wikia has a policy that the community of a wiki must show support for a bot before the staff will give it a bot flag, so I need people to voice their consent or dissent for making Cohen'sMuse a bot. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 10:42, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
