Hello there (totd announcements and task list)...
- A tip library is under construction at Wikipedia:Tips, and needs your help to complete. The unsorted tips at the bottom of that page need to be moved to the various subheadings, and the tips under each subheading need to be placed in the best logical order.
Tomorrow's tip of the day...
Automating tasks on Wikipedia
Uploading hundreds of files or changing thousands of pages can be tedious. We allow limited automation unless it interferes with normal systems operations. You always can grab your favorite scripting language and write a bot, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel: take a look at PyWikipediaBot, a quite complex automation framework for Wikipedia. If you are more into Perl, libwww-perl is a very useful library for automating web tasks. If you have tested your bot and intend to run it over a longer period of time, please get in touch with the developers first (preferably using the wikitech-l mailing list). We then can register your bot, so it can be hidden from the list of recent changes.
