Hello,

Sorry for bothering you with something I'll probably get bashed about for bringing up, but where can I find a bot for /editing/ Wikipedia articles? Some user has started creating articles with the wrong format on the Romanian Wikipedia, I don't have the proper permissions to perform SQL queries on it, and due to the lack of regexp replace functions in MySQL, even that would be pretty much useless in the end. What I really need is a PHP bot I can program to get the current content of some articles, perform some preg_replace's in them and post them back. Can anyone suggest a basis for such a bot?

Thanks, Gutza

I don't think you can just find a template wikibot; people usually program it themselves. Why don't you just contact the creator of the bot on the romanian Wikipedia and tell him to change how it works? (I think) he should be able to upload onto existing pages without much trouble, unless he wants to protect against getting rid of other people's edits to the articles. LDan
