Internet bots that perform tasks in Wikipedia
Bots are computer scripts that operate in an automated or semi-automated way and can perform certain actions more efficiently than humans.
Wikipedia bots are Internet bots (computer programs) that perform simple, repetitive tasks on Wikipedia. One prominent example of an internet bot used in Wikipedia is Lsjbot, which generated millions of short articles across various language editions of Wikipedia.[1]
