Traditionally, code for already-made robots has been
difficult to find
- you actually have to email the bot author to recieve it. However,
bot frameworks are at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot
in Python and at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwikipediabot in
PHP. (The PHP thing is my own; I'm planning to release the cron
library soon, which has all the neat files I used to run
en:User:Grammarbot)
What I meant is an interface from the MediaWiki standpoint which would
upon request easy-to-parse data for the bot, rather than having to
scrape the html (which is 95%+ irrelivant to what one would want to do
with a bot)
