In Wikipedia, a bot is a computer program designed to change articles automatically, according to pre-defined rules.

Hebrew Wikipedia bot guidelines

A bot has to be useful - before writing a bot, please make sure there is a real need for it. Sometimes a task is better accomplished using a barn. Additionaly, there is no use burdening the wiki servers with edits that do not assist the reader.
The bot should be harmless - If the bot damages articles, it would better not run at all.
The bot should be authorized before activation, in the requests page. Interwiki Global Bots are permitted in accordance to the standard bot policy in Meta.
The bot should not be activated before the bot flag is accepted. Unflagged bots will be blocked.
After the bot status is granted, please add [[קטגוריה:משתמשים בעלי דגל בוט]] or {{Bot|Operator-Name}} to the bot user page (adding it to the bots category).
