this is just a general question about bots... what are they made/operated using? Javascript? HTML? - - - Silly Angel Speak Contribs 21:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Uncyc bots generally run on the blood of the non-believers. -OptyC Sucks! CUN21:20, 28 May
- Thanks for the un-religion view, now how about a scientific view? - - - Silly Angel Speak Contribs 21:29, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Uncyc bots generally run on a mixture of plutonium and flopsweat. -OptyC Sucks! CUN21:32, 28 May
- Silly Angel, as a rule, you never get any real answers on the dump- we just act like idiots all the time here. If you want a real answer to your question, ask an admin on their talk page. Saberwolf116 21:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

- Most bots around here work with the AutoWikiBrowser. Only problem is it won't work on my computer. FUCKING SHIT! AAAAA! 21:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- See Saber you CAN get good answers here. And how would you go about setting up a bot? I just want to test the possibilities with this software.
- Ahhh I see, your name has to be here: This page dictates who uses it........ does anyone here think it might be possible to create a bot that updates the Portal Pages every week? Ill ask around. - - - Silly Angel Speak Contribs 22:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see why you'd need a bot for that, or even if you could auto-update with a bot in automatic mode. --Mnb'z 05:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- Well-nigh impossible to create a bot that picks good articles, recreates the Featured-template, digs up some news, and invents fresh jokes. I guess. Unless God has created us for that purpose. Even so, we're dysfunctional. Are you trying to ask us to top God at bot-creating? -- Style Guide 07:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- No I was asking Mordillo to do that. And it wouldnt have to pick a good article. We would enter the name of the new featured article and it would go and format the template with that article. - - - Silly Angel Speak Contribs 10:10, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- That is beyond AutoWikiBrowser's capacity. AWB is mainly using to auto-add the same material to several pages; i.e. auto-categorization, usignpost, et cetera. I'm sure its possible to create a program that could auto-find and format an article, but you'd run the risk of the program choosing a stupid image or cutting off at a weird point. But even if it did work, it would probably be easier just to manually update the portals. --Mnb'z 17:21, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
