This is a package to include robots for MediaWiki wikis like Wikipedia.
Some example robots are included.
These programs can actually modify the live wiki on the net, and proper wiki-etiquette should be followed before running it on any wiki.
To get started on proper usage of the bot framework, refer to Manual:Pywikibot.
