Type one (wikimedia/bot/*)[edit]
MartinBot[edit]
- MartinBot is an AVB clone, and is effectively the only bot running at the moment for anti-vandalism purposes on en-wiki and IRC. It is already cloaked under my nick. The bot is invaluable in reporting users to be blocked to IRC, and in taking instruction from users in #vandalism-en-wp.

tstimebot[edit]
- The bot is a time bot for the Wikimedia Toolserver and idles in #wikimedia-toolserver. It gives the current date and time to users who quote !time in the channel; this is sometimes required for management or coding purposes by the toolserver users.

Type two (usercloak/bot/*)[edit]
lcarsbot[edit]
- At the moment this bot does only a few tasks such as linking (via -link) echoing the replag (via -replag) but I hope to equip it with factoids and a system which will check to see if a page exists in the wiki associated with the channel and give some information. If it is prefered the bot can go under its alternate nick name 'lcarsdata|bot'.

- OK, should be unlinked now. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 13:28, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
