Introduce Bots on this Wiki
Well, I have thought of something new that will help the wiki be clean as possible. Bots.
Advantages:
- They will help the wiki automatically revert vandalism, if there's one on the page.
- New RfCs will automatically be added on the main Requests for Comment page. Closed RfCs may be automatically archived as well. Admins may not need to manually add/remove such stuff..
- Bots may automatically do cleanup on this wiki, and may automatically revert page moves.
- Bots also add/remove notices on the top of the page, if checked properly.
- All in all, the presence of Bots on this Wiki do not need for AVID administrators/moderators to manually revert vandalism, add/remove RfCs whether newly-created or closed, do cleanup on this wiki, etc.

Sounds good but bots are not foolproof

Comment: Isn't there already bots on the wiki? For instance, FuzzyBot. Camenati (talk) 09:19, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Comment: Are you, the proposer, willing to put in the work required to get the bots to reliably perform what you are suggesting? If not, this proposal automatically fails regardless if the idea is nice. I can tell you already nobody in the staff here likely has the time or even the background it would require to make it happen. --Raidarr (talk) 14:17, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
