Board Thread:Questions and requests/@comment-27462035-20170310182709

Intro
So, I've been getting kind of tired fixing common mistakes on mainspace, and I was wondering if I should make a bot account or not. However, I need to get more information on bots before I do anything. I got some information from the Rules page. Because of this, I'm going to ask a few main questions about them.

What can a bot do?
Bots are, well, bots, right? Correcting mistakes when needed. I just want to know if there are any other things that bots do and what type of access they have. What are the extents of bots? What are their limits? If I can use a bot, which pages can the bot edit?

Starting a bot
Starting a bot may be a tedious task for me, as I don't have much experience in coding and things like that. I want to know if it requires special skills or anything like that. If so, I may need to request a bit of help.

If I'm doing straightfoward edits like:

The Gargantuar -> Gargantuar

Box of Poisons -> Boxes of Poison

How will I be able to make the bot do that?

I need to know its mechanics so I don't overextend or anything like that.

Using the bot
Of course, I have access to the bot, but I don't know how to use the bot. Since I don't know how to use bots, I can't do anything with them. Do I have to switch to the bot account to use it? Is there something for bots to easily edit pages? This is highly important information because the bot will just sit there doing nothing because of my confusion.

Is it worth my time?
As the header says, is it worth making a bot for these edits? After all, I can easily manually check each page to correct the mistakes. I'm just inquiring if it's too difficult to create a bot. I'm not sure if I am skilled enough to be able to create a bot. If not, let me know, and I can cancel or postpone the project. I also need to request permission from a bureaucrat to promote it into a bot, which may take some "persuasion" to do.

Extra
Of course, I am trying to help for the good of the wiki, so excuse me if I make mistakes. I hope I can reach out to some experienced users with this thread.

Thanks, for taking your time to read this.
