Category:Robots

Robots (or "bots" in the wikipedia jargon) are special wiki users, with a "bot" permission, and used to perform maintenance tasks, and/or painful, repetitive tasks requiring numerous little edits. In VSOP, robots are used mostly to deal with the growing number of star pages, in order to unify and handle easily the amount of information in these pages. In practice, VSOP robots are scripts (written in python) run by their associated mechanic in his local machine. Through the PyVSOP framework, they connect to the VSOP wiki, and can get wiki code, change it, and upload a new version. They can also upload images.
