Shortcut WP:BOTDICT

This is a small guide to bot-related terms of art on Wikipedia. For convenience, links to other definitions on this page are italicized.

Each definition has an anchor, which can then be used to create links to that definition. For example, to link to the definition of a bot op, you can use [[WP:BOTDICT#bot op]] to create WP:BOTDICT#bot op, which will take you directly to the definition. Each listed variant (e.g. bot operator) has a corresponding anchor (e.g. #bot operator).
