I see there are many php (and other) frameworks for writing wikipedia bots, but isn’t captcha a problem? Or bots don’t have to solve it (but that sounds like there’s no point to having captcha in the first place…)? Or maybe i can make my prog stop and let me fill captcha in?
Properly-registered bots do not have to complete the captcha forms on Wikipedia. The user group rights page says that bots can, among other things:
You will need to get your bot account added to the bot group by a bureaucrat, and this usually takes place after acceptance by the Bot Approvals Group.
Good luck!
