Not all bots are in the bot group though, IIRC ClueBot isn't, and neither
are a few others.

All bots on a given wiki have a row in the user_groups
table with
ug_group set to 'bot'. So, you can use that to get the list of all bot
accounts on a wiki.

Hallo!
I'm needing a list of all active Wikipedia bots in all language versions
in
order to judge how important the edits are which
I read from the table
`revision' from databases like `dewiki_p'. I want to discriminate
bot-edits
from other minor edits by checking if the
corresponding user name is
that of
a bot.
I could, of course, extract the names of all bots from HTML by parsing
the
page about `All Wikipedia bots'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_Wikipedia_bots
But very likely there's a much more convenient way, like an sql table
containing the bots.
(The list of bots running on the Wikimedia Toolserver
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_running_on_the_Wikimed…
contains to few bots for my purposes.)
Best
Philipp
