Memory Alpha
This page describes one of Memory Alpha's policies and guidelines.
Please read through the policy below to familiarize yourself with our common practices and rules.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page.

On Memory Alpha, bots are used from time to time to do minor tasks via automation. To the outside, a bot looks like a normal user, but they have a special bot flag so they can become invisible when looking at the recent changes.

Bot policy[]

  • Every bot needs a user page
  • On this user page the bot's tasks must be explained
  • The page must contain a link to the controller
  • Bots shall not be used just because the controller doesn't want to do the edits
  • At first the bot shall only be used in a limited way, so the controller and other users get used to its behavior
  • All bots must be listed on this page and their activity may be questioned by other users

Leave messages for bots on the bot requests page.
