This is the Ogre wiki bot created and run by ((User:spacegaier|spacegaier)). Its creation was discouraged by the ((WikiProjects:WikiBot|community WikiBot project)) and it is based on the  [http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net|pyWikipediaRobot-Framework] which is also used by many bots running on wikipedia.org.

This bot is running productively, but he is __not__ running in automatic mode, meaning that every changing attempt has either to be approved by me or is checked by me after proceding!

{{Layout_box6|1=
The bot is currently regularly doing the following __jobs__:

{DL()}
* Detecting selflinks
* Cosmetic changes, e.g. deleting unnecessary whitespaces, correcting ISBN numbers, correcting wrong cases of wiki markup words, correcting (x)HTML syntax, correcting internal wiki links...
* Fixing redirects, meaning that redirect pages are skipped by the usage of direct links (however the old redirect pages remain for external linking)
* Searching for broken external links (yet not decided on how to solve them then - writing PMs to everyone is way too much work, alternative would be to automatically let the bot post about in on the respective Talk page)
{DL}
