About YodaBot
YodaBot uses the Pywikipediabot series of scripts maintained by MediaWiki. If you're technically minded, feel free to take a look at the manual for these scripts to see what additional functionality the bot has, and make more detailed requests. If you really know what you're doing and want to just post a series of python commands on the bot's talk page, running them is as simple as copying and pasting them.
