Template:Bot
 |
This user account is a bot operated by [[:en:User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[:en:User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[:en:Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]).
It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. |
