Hello all...
Does anyone knows where can I find information about writing (or copying)
some VERY SIMPLE bots? (Like switching common spelling mistakes and so
on...)
You should have a look at the pywikibot a.k.a. pywikipedia, which is a
python framework for writing bots which run against mediawiki sites.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_bot/Getting_started has
general information with a focus on using it with wikipedia,
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipedia_bot_on_non-wikimedia_projects
has info on using it for non-wikimedia sites using mediawiki.
I did some work with this a year or so ago, and haven't kept up. It
does require using the python language, but python has a fairly easy
learning curve.
