MediaWiki Bot

First, you'll need to create a bot account on the MediaWiki site you want to access. This can typically be done by registering a new account on the site, and then requesting bot status for that account. The specific process for doing this may vary depending on the site.

Once you have a bot account, you'll need to generate an API key or OAuth token to use for authentication. This will typically involve going to the site's API settings or developer tools and following the instructions to generate a new key or token.

With your API key or OAuth token in hand, you can now use a programming language or tool of your choice (e.g., Python, JavaScript, etc.) to interact with the MediaWiki API. The API provides a variety of endpoints for interacting with page content, user data, and other site features.

To make authorized changes to page content, you'll typically need to use one of the API's authentication endpoints to log in to the site using your bot account and API key or OAuth token. Once you're logged in, you can use the API's edit endpoints to make changes to specific pages.

Depending on the specific site and the nature of the changes you want to make, you may need to follow additional rules or procedures to ensure that your bot account is not blocked or restricted for making unauthorized or disruptive changes. This may include things like limiting the frequency or scope of your edits, following site-specific guidelines for bot behavior, or working with site administrators to coordinate your bot activity.

Overall, the process of accessing MediaWiki using bots and making authorized changes to page content can be complex and may require some trial and error to get right. However, with the right tools, documentation, and support, it is possible to create powerful and useful bots that can help automate and streamline various tasks on MediaWiki sites.
