For over the last few years that ive been with wikiHow, i know about WRM’s ideas on helping to write articles, along with many other bots. However, there is one bot i feel someone should create. The bot would help out improving stubbed articles. With the large mess of stubbed articles we have, it seems like forever until editors get to these articles. If we had a bot to help us during the times when no one is in the stub app(or improving them manually), articles with stubs could finally be improved, so other “chores”(screenshots/pictures, weaving, etc) could be done on them. I know we have some insightful people here that could develop a bot, think about creating one for this task.

WRM isn’t a bot, it is a writing source that employs writers who create articles. I imagine it would be next to, if not, impossible to create a bot to actually produce any kind of written content specific to an article content.

Have to agree with BR, it isn’t really feasible. WRM isn’t the “author” of the content it posts, it just publishes them. Besides, that’s why we actually have a community of editors, rather than a community of bots.

To throw something in this thread, a real life intern spent the time about two summers ago (or it could have been last year) to catch up on the merge backlog
I agree with BR too; WRM isn’t a bot.
This. I’d rather have a real person with their knowledge on said subject improve an article than a bot. (; June Days
