Instructions

Getting bot status will keep the edits/additions made by the bot from appearing in the Recent Changes file, thereby keeping them from spamming away all the rest of the changes. An administrator can do this by adding the user account your bot will use to the "bot" group, using Special:UserRights.

    ====Bot username====
     status    = <!--don't change this line-->

     posted    =
