AutoWikiBrowser

AutoWikiBrowser is a MediaWiki editing program for Windows based computers (though it can run under Linux with Wine) with bot capability. It is primarily designed with Wikipedia and the other projects of the Wiimedia Foundation in mind, but it also has support for Wikia and any other wiki that is based on the MediaWiki API.

Typically, AutoWikiBrowser (i.e. - AWB) is not primarily used for bot editing on Wikipedia, which is where most of the documentation and tech support are located, nor is it primarily intended for that function on most Wikimedia wikis, but it can easily be used for that purpose regardless whether the account one uses to log in is actually a bot account as long as the bot "auto save" feature is enabled. Only accounts with bot rights will have their edits not shown in the recent changes log (unless they are purposely displayed), but in effect, any account one chooses to edit with can be made into a bot account with the AWB program.

Functionality is not guaranteed outside of WMF project wikis, and, to a lesser extent, Wikia, but it will work fine on almost any MediaWiki, barring any unforeseen errors.

It has many capabilities, including find and replace features, regex editing, auto placement of templates, and the ability to edit certain categories or pages based on predefined lists or by calling on information from the API.

It is constantly maintained and has a friendly GUI interface, which makes it a good choice for beginners to bot editing wanting to perform many simple edits at once and do not have extensive programming experience.
