Hi DatRegularShow. I’m Brandon from Wikia, and I’m replying to your support request here as you requested. Bots are most often used to perform large maintenance tasks. For example, if you had a large category with 100 pages in it and you wanted to remove that category, manually removing the category from each page would be a major time commitment. With a bot, though, you could run a script where the bot would do all of that for you. That way, you don’t have to manually remove those categories.

The best place to go for more in-depth bot help would be our Community Central Forum. There, users from across Wikia with experience in working with bots can answer all the questions you have. Good luck!
